Enhancing Retirement Income with Annuities

Congratulations! You’re in the home stretch toward retiring! Securing a comfortable and satisfying retirement is your focus. You’re thinking about how much income your retirement savings need to produce. As a baseline, you want to create enough cash every month to:

Guaranteed Lifetime Income Makes a Difference

Is retirement near? There may be a certain age to which you expect to live. Keep in mind though, life expectancy is an average. About half of retirees live longer.

So, retirement portfolios may encounter shortfalls. Investment values may go up and down. Making adjustments – such as spending less or saving more – can be hard.

To pay bills, you may need to draw more from investments and savings. That could continue until little is left.

An income annuity can help. It provides guaranteed lifetime income to cover expenses and help offset longevity and investment risks. That could help create confidence for your future.

Payment of benefits under the annuity contract is the obligation of, and is guaranteed by, the issuing company. Guarantees are based on the claims-paying ability of the issuer. Products are backed by the full financial strength of the issuing company. Earnings and pre-tax payments are subject to income tax at withdrawal. Withdrawals may be subject to charges. Withdrawals from an annuity are subject to ordinary income tax, and, if taken before age 59 ½ may be subject to 10% IRS penalty. An annuity is a long-term financial vehicle designed for retirement. An insurance company accepts premiums and provides future income or a lump-sum amount to the contract owner by contractual agreement. An immediate annuity is permanent. Owner has no access to premium, which converts to an income payout stream. There is no cash value, no death benefit and the annuity can’t be surrendered. Contract terms, such as payment amount and frequency, cannot be changed, unless commutation is available and elected. An immediate annuity should not be purchased if access may be needed to any of the premium for living expenses or other purposes.

Annuity products are not bank products, are not a deposit, are not insured by the FDIC, nor any other federal entity, have no bank guarantee, and may lose value.
