Annuities

Create predictable retirement income you can't outlive. Annuities offer principal protection, tax-deferred growth, and guaranteed income options—giving you confidence in your financial future.

Types of Annuities

Different annuities serve different purposes. Here's a simple breakdown of your options:

Fixed Annuities

Earn a guaranteed interest rate for a set period. Your principal is protected, and you know exactly what you'll earn. Like a CD, but often with better rates and tax deferral.

Best for: Conservative savers

Fixed Indexed Annuities

Growth linked to a market index with downside protection. Participate in market gains up to a cap, but never lose principal when markets drop. Best of both worlds.

Best for: Balanced growth seekers

Income Annuities

Convert a lump sum into guaranteed income payments for life or a set period. Create your own "pension" that you can't outlive, no matter how long you live.

Best for: Retirement income

Why Consider an Annuity?

Principal Protection

With fixed and fixed indexed annuities, your principal is protected from market losses. You won't lose money due to market downturns.

Tax-Deferred Growth

Your money grows without annual taxes eating into gains. You only pay taxes when you take withdrawals, potentially at a lower retirement tax bracket.

Guaranteed Lifetime Income

Create an income stream you literally cannot outlive. No matter how long you live, the checks keep coming.

No Contribution Limits

Unlike IRAs and 401(k)s, there's no cap on how much you can put into an annuity. Great for catch-up savings.

Creditor Protection

In many states, annuities offer protection from creditors and lawsuits—an added layer of asset protection.

Is an Annuity Right for You?

Annuities may be a good fit if you:

  • Are concerned about outliving your money
  • Want to protect retirement savings from market risk
  • Have maxed out other retirement accounts
  • Want predictable, guaranteed income in retirement
  • Are within 10 years of retirement (or already retired)
  • Value peace of mind over maximum growth potential
