Annuities
Annuities come in many forms—whether you want guaranteed income, principal protection with growth potential, or a way to leave a legacy for your loved ones. With the right strategy, they can play a valuable role in your overall retirement plan.
Why Annuities Matter
For many nearing or in retirement, market volatility can be unnerving. Watching your investments swing up and down can make it difficult to plan your lifestyle with confidence. Annuities offer a way to add stability and diversification to your portfolio by providing income that isn’t tied to daily stock market movements.
They also bring peace of mind. With certain types of annuities, you know exactly how much income you’ll receive and for how long—helping you cover essential expenses no matter what the market does. And if you feel like you’re behind on savings, annuities offer flexibility: there’s no annual contribution limit for after-tax dollars, allowing you to put more toward retirement at any stage.

*There is a surrender charge imposed generally during the first 5 to 7 years that you own the contract. Withdrawals prior to age 59½ may result in a 10% IRS tax penalty, in addition to any ordinary income tax. The guarantee of the annuity is backed by the financial strength of the underlying insurance company. Investment sub-account values will fluctuate with changes in market conditions.
*Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, and charges and expenses of the variable annuity carefully before investing. An investment in a variable annuity involves investment risk, including possible loss of principal. Variable annuities are designed for long-term investing. The contract, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the total amount invested. Variable annuities are subject to insurance-related charges including mortality and expense charges, administrative fees, and the expenses associated with the underlying sub-accounts. The prospectus contains this and other information about the variable annuity. Contact the issuing firm or your registered representative to obtain a prospectus, which should be read carefully before investing or sending money.
