annuityAnnuities Are Income for Life.
You've worked hard. You deserve the comfort and peace of mind knowing you'll be cared for during the rest of your life-even if you live to be 100. That's where income annuities come in. Every annuity is designed to provide guaranteed lifetime payments. All of our annuity carriers are highly-rated insurance companies with home offices in the United States.
We only sell products that deliver a return of investment to you or your beneficiaries. Even if you purchased an annuity today and passed tomorrow, your loved ones will receive every penny of the money you invested.
The term "annuity" relates to a contract between you and a life insurance company. All U.S. insurance companies are highly regulated and audited annually.
Fixed
This annuity contract earns a stated interest rate (fixed interest rate) offered by the insurance company. Alternatively, the interest rate may be calculated in a manner specified in the annuity contract. No matter how the interest rate is calculated, the investor knows exactly what the future returns or income stream the annuity contract will produce because the applicable rates are set at the time of purchase and never change.
Simply stated, fixed annuities are guaranteed lifetime income. Those planning for retirement are facing difficult times after the sting of stock market losses, reduced or canceled dividend payouts, and financial market uncertainty affecting corporate and government bonds. A guaranteed lifetime income is a secure, guaranteed, and smart investment for your money.
Fixed Index
This is an offshoot of a fixed annuity where the interest rate is based on an outside index such as a stock market index like the S&P 500 or the Dow Industrial Index. The annuity pays a base return rate, such as 3%, but the returns may be higher if the index returns greater than the base return rate.
A fixed index annuity guarantees a minimum interest rate if held to the end of the surrender term and protects against a loss of principal. This is a smart choice for an annuity, and returns may be higher than fixed instruments such as CD's, money market accounts, and bonds. Fixed indexed annuities provide all the protections afforded by life insurance policies and are backed by our financially sound U.S. institutions listed.
