You Can’t Get Out
Some investments require that you hold them for a long period of time before you can sell them. Usually, this is a warning sign.
Variable annuities, for example, often have surrender periods during which you face charges of 5 to 9 percent for selling. While variable annuities can have some merit in certain situations, look for alternatives that allow you better access to your funds.
