Income for life.
One less question to carry into retirement.

Retirement comes with enough questions. With the Allianz Lifetime Income+® Annuity, income doesn’t have to be one.

For decades, participants know where their income comes from: a steady paycheck. Retirement changes that equation.
But while paychecks may end, the need for income doesn't.

The challenge isn't just saving for retirement.
It's living in retirement.

For decades, the retirement industry has focused on helping participants accumulate savings – and accumulation matters. But building a retirement balance is not a plan for spending it.

The concern is real: 67% of Americans say they worry more about running out of money than they do about dying,1 which raises a question accumulation alone can’t answer:

How do I turn retirement savings into income that lasts?

Available within a defined contribution (DC) plan, Allianz Lifetime Income+® is a fixed index annuity (FIA) designed to help bridge that gap between saving and spending with guaranteed lifetime income, something that traditional investments simply don’t provide.

See how it works

Why lifetime income? Why now?

The retirement landscape is changing. Participant expectations are changing with it.

As more participants approach retirement, plan sponsors are often being asked to help them do more than save. They want help turning savings into income that can last throughout retirement.

What’s driving the shift?

  • More retirees. 1 in 5 Americans will be age 65 or older by 2030.2
  • More support. Legislative and regulatory changes have made it more practical for plans to offer in-plan guaranteed lifetime income solutions.
  • More uncertainty. Longer retirements – due to longer lifespans – mean more years of spending, with inflation and market volatility making it harder for savings to keep pace. 

Add lifetime income without changing what already works

Allianz Lifetime Income+® helps address the demand for guaranteed lifetime income without introducing additional complexity to the plan.

Designed to fit seamlessly into 401(k), 403(b) or 457 plans.

  • No additional charge for the plan sponsor
  • A simple addition to the existing plan lineup
  • No disruption to the current plan structure or fees

Income designed to last requires a company built to last

A guarantee is only as durable as the company behind it. Helping participants prepare for life after their last paycheck takes more than a product. It takes a company with the financial strength, experience, and commitment to deliver on its promises over time.

For more than 125 years, Allianz has helped people prepare for what's ahead while continuing to innovate for evolving retirement needs.
