Henry Argueta — Sergeant of Finance Henry Argueta — Sergeant of Marines

Hey, I'm Henry.

Former Sergeant of Marines (2009-2015). UCF Political Science & Pre-Law student with a 3.95 GPA. Licensed independent insurance agent.

I've lived in Central Florida since 1995. I'm not a corporation — I'm your neighbor.

I built Sergeant of Finance because I saw too many retirees and pre-retirees earning 3–4% on their CDs while paying taxes on every penny of interest — and too many others handing over 1–3% in AUM fees just to watch their advisor underperform the market. There are better options out there, and most people don't know they exist.

I hate sales. It's cringe. I only educate and present no-brainers for people who are suitable. If an annuity isn't right for you, I'll be the first to say so.

My promise: No pitch. Just math. Real numbers. Honest answers.

Strategies Built for Your Goals

Guaranteed MYGA

5.58% Locked In

Like a CD but better — guaranteed rate, tax-deferred, principal protected.

Best for: Conservative savers who want certainty

Multi-Year Guarantee Annuities lock in a fixed interest rate for a set term (2-10 years). Unlike CDs, growth is tax-deferred, meaning your money compounds faster.

S&P 500 Cap Strategy

Up to 10.50% Annual Cap

Participate in market gains with a cap — lose nothing in a crash.

Best for: Growth-minded with downside protection

Returns linked to the S&P 500, capped at 10.50%/year. If the market drops, your floor is 0%.

Performance Trigger

~8% Fixed Credit

Market up even 1 point? You get credited a fixed rate.

Best for: Consistent returns in most years

Anytime the index finishes flat or positive, you receive a fixed credit (~8%). Only a negative year results in 0%.

Participation Rate

Up to 80% of Gains

The market earned 20%. You earned 16%. No cap ceiling.

Best for: Those seeking uncapped index-linked growth potential

You receive a percentage of the full index gain with no ceiling.

Nasdaq-100 Vol Control 7%

Up to 164% Participation

The Nasdaq with a seatbelt — auto-reduces exposure when markets panic.

Best for: Maximum growth with built-in volatility control

Tracks Nasdaq-100 with volatility control. Up to 164% participation in calm markets.

Bitcoin Trends 15% Index

Crypto Upside. Zero Downside.

Nasdaq-100 + Bitcoin trend signals — you never own crypto.

Best for: Crypto-linked upside with 0% floor protection

Blends Nasdaq-100 with Bitcoin signals, capped at 15% Bitcoin allocation. 0% floor always.

AUM Fees vs. Annuities — Let the Math Decide

Not every advisor will tell you about this comparison. Here's what the numbers actually look like side by side.

Ask yourself: Why would an advisor who earns 1–3% of your money every single year recommend a product that pays them nothing after the first year?

Typical AUM Advisor

  • Fee: 1–3% of your money, every year, forever
  • $200K portfolio at 1.5%: $3,000/year in fees
  • Over 10 years: $30,000+ in fees alone
  • Market crash? You lose money. They still get paid.
  • Your principal: At risk. No floor. No guarantee.
10-Year Fee Drag on $200K -$30,000 to -$60,000
VS

Fixed Index Annuity

  • Fee: $0 annual fee (on most products)
  • $200K premium: $0/year in fees
  • Over 10 years: $0 in fees
  • Market crash? You earn 0% — never negative. 0% floor.
  • Your principal: Guaranteed by the insurance company.
10-Year Fee Drag on $200K $0

The Real Math on $200,000 Over 10 Years

AUM Advisor (1.5% fee, 8% avg return) FIA (10.50% cap, 0% floor, $0 fees)
Gross Return ~8% avg Up to 10.50% (capped)
Annual Fees -1.5%/year $0
Net Return ~6.5% after fees Up to 10.50% (no fees deducted)
Down Year Protection None — you lose money 0% floor — you lose nothing
Taxes Capital gains taxed annually Tax-deferred until withdrawal
10-Year Fees Paid ~$42,000+ $0

The Bottom Line

An AUM advisor managing $200K at 1.5% collects over $42,000 in fees over 10 years — win or lose. A fixed index annuity charges $0 in annual fees, protects your principal with a 0% floor, and grows tax-deferred.

Paying someone a percentage of your life savings every year — whether the market goes up or down — is a cost worth understanding before you decide.

This comparison is for educational purposes only. AUM fees vary by advisor. FIA returns are not guaranteed and depend on index performance, subject to caps and participation rates. Past index performance does not guarantee future results. Annuities may not be suitable for everyone.
