Annuities
Today's annuities may help you live your retirement the way you want.
Annuities
An annuity is a financial vehicle that is designed to help you prepare for retirement. Simply put, an annuity is a contract between you and an insurance company: You pay the insurance company purchase payments and in exchange you get benefits only an annuity can provide.
Why consider an annuity?
Annuities can be a valuable addition to your overall retirement strategy because they offer tax-deferred growth potential, a death benefit during the accumulation phase, and a guaranteed stream of income at retirement.
Many annuities provide principal protection, lifetime income, an enhanced death benefit, and other options either built-in or optional and available for an additional cost. Plus, annuities can help you transfer wealth to your beneficiaries.
Annuities are complex products that include many features and factors to consider, such as fees, costs, risks, and limitations. It is important to understand the balance between all features available with any annuity. You should consult with a financial professional to determine if an annuity is appropriate for your needs.

Withdrawals will reduce the contract value and the value of any potential protection benefits. Withdrawals taken within the contract withdrawal charge schedule will be subject to a withdrawal charge. All withdrawals are subject to ordinary income tax and, if taken prior to age 59½, may be subject to a 10% federal additional tax.
Guarantees are backed by the financial strength and claims-paying ability of the issuing company. Variable annuity guarantees do not apply to the performance of the variable subaccounts, which will fluctuate with market conditions.
