Making a cautious case for insurance-linked annuity plans

I save regularly into an investment portfolio managed by my adviser and am happy with that. I'm 45, and this portfolio will be my only source of income in retirement. I could add a bit more each month, but my adviser suggests using the extra savings to buy a lifetime annuity instead. What are your thoughts on this?
