Realign your financial strategy to keep your goals within reach.
Tax-deferred growth for retirement
If you’re a more conservative investor, a fixed annuity (or fixed indexed annuity) could be right for you. Why? Because it gives you a guaranteed, tax-deferred way to grow wealth — while offering protection from market volatility. You can fund a fixed annuity with one lump sum payment, or a series of payments. Over time, the fund grows in value. Then, during the payout phase, you’ll be able to rely on a steady, dependable stream of income (typically paid monthly)
As with all financial decisions, we recommend talking to your financial professional before opening a fixed annuity. Together, you can decide if a fixed annuity is right for you.
How it works
Fixed (and fixed-indexed annuities) offer several options, depending on your tolerance for risk. But, generally speaking, you can:
- Purchase early in life as a strategy to accumulate more value.
- Transfer existing assets or start fresh.
- Determine which type of annuity payout works best for your financial strategy. Their deferral periods vary, meaning some products provide income immediately and others have deferral periods.
Why it's popular
Investors often choose annuities when they want to:
-
Prepare for retirement by potentially growing assets in a tax-deferred way.
-
Receive a guaranteed retirement income for a set period (or the rest of their lives).
-
Balance asset protection with steady growth.
