Annuities

Turn a portion of savings into a retirement-income strategy.

Annuities are insurance contracts that may be used to create future income, protect principal under specified contract terms, or add guarantees to a broader retirement plan.

What this coverage may help you address

Use these points as a starting place for a needs-based discussion rather than a one-size-fits-all recommendation.

Income planning

Some annuities can create guaranteed lifetime or period-certain income.

Principal protection

Certain designs can reduce direct exposure to market losses, subject to contract terms.

Tax deferral

Growth is generally tax-deferred until distributed, subject to applicable tax rules.

Beneficiary features

Contracts may include death-benefit or continuation provisions.

Different designs

Fixed, fixed indexed, and variable annuities have materially different risks and features.

Long-term commitment

Surrender schedules, liquidity limits, and rider costs deserve close attention.

Questions worth reviewing

Focus on fit, not just the product name.

The useful question is whether the coverage design, cost, eligibility, and limitations support the outcome you want.

✓
Clarify whether the goal is income, principal protection, accumulation, or a combination.
✓
Review liquidity needs before committing funds.
✓
Compare guarantees, crediting methods, riders, fees, surrender schedules, and insurer strength.
✓
Coordinate the annuity with the rest of the retirement-income plan.
