Annuities
An annuity is an insurance policy that can accomplish two things, guaranteed income and/or guaranteed interest. They can help protect against stock market volatility during accumulation years and help prevent against outliving your savings during the retirement years.
Don't worry. We'll guide you through the process of finding the best insurance for your needs.
Is an annuity right for me?

Pros
Lifetime Income —
Annuitization is always available in any annuity. This provides a number of income options for whatever you need.
​
Guaranteed Interest — As simple as it sounds, every policy has a guaranteed interest rate.
​
Lower/Minimal Risk — Your money will never earn less than the guaranteed minimum interest rate.
Cons
Limited Income Growth — Once you start income, the amount may not go up with inflation.
Early Withdrawal Penalties — You may be subject to tax penalties if you withdraw money before the age of 59 ½.
Limited Liquidity — While most contracts have free withdrawal privileges, you may be charged if you take more than this amount out during the contract period.
Two types of annuities
Deferred Annuity: This option may be right for you if you're still saving for retirement. It's essentially long-term, tax-deferred retirement savings.*
​
Immediate Annuity: If you're transitioning into retirement, you'll probably want to go with an immediate income annuity, because the payments begin within 12 months. You can choose guaranteed payments for life, a set period of time, or both.
