Why should someone consider purchasing an Annuity?

  • Principal protection: No risk to the original money invested, or any future growth.

  • Tax-deferred growth: The growth of your money is Not subject to immediate taxation.

  • Lifetime of income: Guarantee of income payments no matter how long you live.

  • Creditor protection: The money in an annuity Cannot be seized by any creditors.

  • Spousal opportunities: Allows income payments from annuity to continue being paid to surviving spouse.

 

3 Types of Annuities

  1. Fixed Annuity: Guarantees a specific rate of return

  2. Immediate Annuity: Lump sum contribution is converted to a guaranteed stream of income.

  3. Fixed Index Annuity: Rate of return based on performance of underlying index (i.e. S&P 500), but never directly exposed to the risk of the stock market.
