Ramsey Smith, founder and CEO of ALEX.fyi, is a firm believer in the power of annuities to provide guaranteed income to retirees at the time they need it the most. But he thinks that the annuities industry too often pushes retirees into complex (and high-fee) products. He founded ALEX.fyi to deliver affordable longevity protection by connecting retirees with simple, low-fee annuities, and he joins Real Vision to discuss his life mission is to be a "merchant of simplicity" rather than a "merchant of complexity."
