Benefits of Annuities
Annuities can offer benefits and advantages to help people enjoy a secure retirement. Variable annuities offer the opportunity to benefit from stock and bond market upswings while providing certain guarantees. Fixed annuities offer the advantages of safety of principal and minimum interest rate guarantees. Some forms of fixed annuities, known as equity-indexed annuities provide the opportunity to participate in equity index performance. Whether you are conservative or willing to tolerate a measure of risk – our annuity products may help you meet your retirement goals.

Benefits offered by our annuities include:

  • Tax-deferred growth
  • Premium bonuses
  • Potential to participate in market gains
  • A lifetime income stream
  • Probate avoidance

Annuities have two phases:

Tax-deferred accumulation phase: During the accumulation phase, a variable annuity may be an ideal vehicle to help you build your retirement nest egg. Your money may grow, tax-deferred, as you allocate your assets to a wide variety of market indexes. You only pay income taxes when you take withdrawals or annuitize your contract. Annuities also offer a death benefit during this phase to help protect your beneficiaries.

Retirement income phase: When you are ready to start taking income, an annuity may offer a wide array of payout options. You can choose whether you want to receive income for a specific period of time or receive income that you can't outlive.

Our annuities come with a variety of withdrawal, income, and death benefits - offering you the rewards that market participation may offer along with the benefits that help you protect your investments for you and your beneficiaries.
