Annuities

Securing Your Financial Future

What is an Annuity?

An annuity is a financial product offered by insurance companies that provides a stream of income in exchange for a lump-sum payment or series of payments. Annuities can be an important tool in retirement planning, offering tax-deferred growth and guaranteed income for life. As a financial advisor, I specialize in helping individuals understand their annuity options and find the right solutions to meet their retirement income needs.

Types of Annuities

Fixed Annuities

Fixed annuities offer a guaranteed interest rate for a specified period or can provide a predictable stream of income. They offer stability and protection against market volatility, making them an attractive option for individuals seeking a secure retirement.

Variable Annuities

Variable annuities allow you to invest in a variety of investment options, such as stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. While variable annuities offer the potential for higher returns, they also come with greater risk and fluctuating income. They can be suitable for individuals willing to take on market risk in exchange for the potential for higher returns.

Indexed Annuities

Indexed annuities offer returns linked to the performance of a stock market index, such as the S&P 500. They provide the opportunity for higher returns based on market performance, while also offering downside protection to safeguard your principal. Indexed annuities can be a suitable option for individuals seeking growth potential with some level of protection against market downturns.

Benefits of Annuities

Tax-Deferred Growth

Annuities offer tax-deferred growth, meaning you won’t pay taxes on your earnings until you withdraw them. This can help your savings grow faster over time.

Guaranteed Income

Many annuities offer the option to receive guaranteed income for life, providing financial security and peace of mind in retirement. Guarantees are based on the claims paying ability of the issuer.

Flexible Payout Options

Annuities offer flexibility in how you receive your income, allowing you to choose from various payout options, such as lifetime income, fixed period, or lump-sum withdrawals.
