Take Control of Your Income

Make your annuity income work for you.

RiverSource® annuities let you choose when and how to access your income*. For example, you may be able to withdraw up to 10% of your prior contract anniversary value each year, or access your accumulated earnings without a withdrawal charge on your variable annuity1.

Use your RiverSource annuity to access1 your income through:

  • Systematic withdrawals: Make regular withdrawals.
  • Partial withdrawals: Take partial withdrawals as you need them.
  • Lump sum withdrawal: Take your payout all at once.

*Withdrawals will cause a reduction of the contract's cash value and death benefits.

1 A 10% IRS penalty may apply to withdrawals made prior to age 59 ½. Earnings from a non-qualified annuity are taxed as ordinary income, not capital gains, when distributed. Any distribution from a qualified annuity is taxed as ordinary income when distributed.
