Variable annuities

Take charge of your retirement

You may have questions as you plan for retirement such as, when is the right time to stop working and retire? Will my money last as long as I need it to? How can I protect my money for my beneficiaries? A variable annuity can help you prepare for these retirement challenges with the opportunity to grow your portfolio and enjoy income for as long as you need it.

What is a variable annuity and what does it offer?

A variable annuity is a long-term retirement investment issued by an insurance company that can help you:

  • Grow your money

  • Take income in retirement

  • Pass on your wealth

A variable annuity offers:

  • The ability to invest in the market while taking advantage of tax-deferral - you pay no taxes on earnings until they are withdrawn

  • An optional living benefit that provides the opportunity to receive guaranteed lifetime income (for an additional fee)

  • A program designed to help you create income projected to be sustainable from your annuity

  • Opportunities to protect your investment for your spouse or other beneficiaries - no matter how your annuity performs

 

Help optimize your wealth and allow assets to grow

In a variable annuity, your money has the opportunity to grow by investing in subaccount funds made up of stocks and bonds that rise and fall with the market. Over time, you can earn a “variable” rate of return. As with other investments, there is potential to lose money based on the performance of the subaccount funds.
