Ed Hochard | President
Born and raised in the Boston area, Ed moved to central Florida in 1980 after graduating from College. He then entered the financial services industry in 1987. Within two years at a Fortune 500 company, he earned the privilege to own and operate his own franchise in Central and South Florida. Throughout his career, he was not only ranked as one of the top franchise owners in the state, but also managed one of the most successful offices in the Southeastern United States.
In 2010, After 23 years operating the franchise and training over 1,000 representatives, it was time for a sabbatical. After a three-year break, it was time to return to the Financial Services Industry as an Independent Agent ,feeling now more than ever a need to help former and new clients PROTECT, PRESERVE & GROW their net worth. Starting The Annuity Shop came to me when I realized how vital it was to help this great generation of Baby Boomers have a long and prosperous retirement. Ed has been a gym rat since high school and played semi-pro football for a short time. He loves golf, Football, hiking and anything outdoors. He just recently celebrated his 36 year wedding anniversary with his wife, Tena, and is extremely proud of his two sons Chris and Kyle, daughter-in-law Tina, and of course Grandson’s CJ & Tyson. |

Our Services
What We Do For Clients |
Asset Protection
Retirement doesn’t mean that it’s time to stop growing. Same holds true for your money. It should mean, however, that it’s time to stop taking unnecessary risk.
We specialize in helping retirees protect their retirement assets while continuing to move forward. |
Family Legacy Planning
Many of our clients want to leave a legacy for their children and grandchildren and are shocked to learn how easy it is to double, even triple their inheritance – TAX-FREE AND GUARANTEED!
We also work with our clients and help them embrace their own mortality and be prepared for the loss of a spouse and the income burdens this can often create. |
Extended Care Solutions
Long-term care/extended care costs have gone up substantially in the last 10 years. Unfortunately, the statistics are not in our favor, a plan to address these costs should be included in every retirement strategy.
The good news is we work with hybrid insurance plans that leverage your dollar in case you need it for extended care, but remain 100% accessible for withdrawal if you don’t. |
Retirement Income
Creating an income plan to last throughout retirement is perhaps the single most important challenge retirees will face. It’s very likely to spend 30 years or more living in retirement without earned income.
We create a customized retirement income plan, encompassing all sources of income, for each one of our clients and no two plans are exactly alike. Let us get to work on a plan for you. |
