Annuities

Annuities can be a valuable addition to your overall retirement strategy because they offer tax-deferred growth potential while you’re saving for retirement, and dependable income after you retire – in some cases, for as long as you live.
Many annuities provide principal protection from market downturns, 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.

allow you to participate in market gains – with a level of protection against market downturns.
