Why choose
an annuity?
A secure course to retirement income.
What is an annuity?
An annuity is a contract with an insurance company that helps you grow, protect, and convert your savings into steady income payments.
Annuities are designed to offer stability, predictable returns, and financial security—helping you navigate retirement with confidence.
How do
annuities work?
An annuity has three key stages:
1. Funding
You make a premium payment, either as a one-time lump sum or, with certain, annuities through multiple payments. This becomes your principal and grows tax-deferred inside the annuity contract.
2. Growth
During the accumulation period, your annuity earns interest based on a specific crediting rate or a selected crediting strategy. Annuities protect your principal from market loss, so the value won’t decline due to market downturns.
Withdrawal charges and an MVA may apply to withdrawals above RMDs or free amount offered by your contract. Early withdrawals reduce the contract value and future interest. Tax rules apply; consult a tax professional.
3. Payout
When you’re ready, you can choose how to receive your money:
- Convert your annuity contract into a stream of payments (for life or specific period), or
- Take a lump-sum distribution, subject to the contract’s terms.
Why consider
an annuity?
Annuities are a valuable tool for retirement planning, offering:
Principal Protection
Your principal is shielded from market downturns.
Income Flexibility
Choose how you earn your interest and access your contract value.
Tax-Deferred Growth
Earnings grow tax-deferred and are taxable when withdrawn or paid as income.
Peace of Mind
Secure a steady, reliable income for the future.
