Frequently asked questions

What are the different types of annuities?

There are two main types of annuities that can help you prepare for retirement: Fixed rate annuities and variable annuities. Fixed rate annuities typically provide a consistent, guaranteed rate of return over the duration of the agreement. Variable annuities provide a rate of return that can fluctuate with the market.

How do annuities work?

An annuity acts as a contract between you and the insurance company, where you invest your principal, and in exchange, the insurance company provides you certain guarantees, such as lifetime income or principal protection. Depending on your goals and the type of annuity you select, you can choose an income payment schedule that works for you.

How are annuities taxed?

Annuities grow on a tax-deferred basis. When the contract owner withdraws from the account, the amount is generally taxed at your ordinary income tax rate.

Is an annuity a retirement account?

While annuities are not retirement accounts, they are often used as part of an overall investment strategy to complement your retirement accounts.

What is the difference between immediate and deferred annuities?

An immediate annuity is designed to provide income now and is best suited for investors who are income-oriented. A deferred annuity offers income starting at a future date you choose. Before you start receiving income payments, the value of your annuity can accumulate on a tax-deferred basis, potentially generating additional income to secure your future.
