Annuities
Discover how these fixed or variable retirement vehicles can work with your life insurance provider to guarantee future income.
An annuity is an insurance product (investment contract with an insurer) designed to pay you an income over a period of time, of which payments can be deferred or immediate. They can help you grow your savings, inheritance, and retirement portfolio. In fact, they often provide you with retirement income that you cannot outlive.
Annuities are complex with an array of product choices, such as fixed, variable or indexed. We recommend you contact one of our experienced agents to discuss possible benefits, risks, and costs.
Note: Guarantees are backed by the claims-paying ability of the issuing company.
