Enhance Your Wealth-Building Strategy for Retirement With Our AnnuiChoice® Variable Annuity

Many people plan for the basics and forget the extras that add to the quality of retirement life. Maybe you’d like to be able to afford to travel more, finance delayed home improvements or buy a new piano to start your own jazz trio. More than half of your retirement income will likely come from your pension and retirement savings plans, as well as your personal resources. So how can you be sure you’ll have what you’ll need over time?

Our AnnuiChoice Variable Annuity can help in your retirement journey. A long-term financial vehicle designed for retirement purposes, AnnuiChoice can be an excellent addition to your retirement wealth-building strategy. With AnnuiChoice, your contributions are invested in variable account options. You can allocate your contributions among a variety of investment options called subaccounts. Depending on your risk tolerance level, you can choose your investment objective, ranging from aggressive to conservative. Your return is tied to the performance of the underlying investments of the subaccounts. If you are comfortable accepting a higher level of risk in return for greater growth potential, an AnnuiChoice Variable Annuity may be an attractive option to consider.

Could This Be the Right Solution for You?

The steps you take now to prepare and save for your journey to retirement will have a tremendous impact on your future financial security. AnnuiChoice may be a good choice for you if:

You are busy with work and family and lack the time, resources or background to manage your investments with confidence. You seek strategies offering professional management of their underlying investment options.
You hope to retire sometime with the next 10 years or so. You still seek growth in your retirement savings, but your tolerance for risk is decreasing. You may desire the certainty of knowing a portion of your retirement assets can be allocated to an account crediting a guaranteed interest rate.
You are concerned about possibly outliving your retirement assets. You desire retirement income options that offer the confidence of lifetime income guarantees.
You just celebrated the birth of your first child. As a new parent, you expect your financial circumstances and needs to change over time. You seek flexibility in your investment options and contribution amounts and timing.
