“What's to like or not like?”

Go ahead with an annuity if you want the potential to continue investing tax-deferred and expect to take income now or in the future.

  • You can continue to save tax-deferred if you choose a deferred annuity.
  • You can start taking income right away if you choose an immediate annuity. (Your account balance continues to grow tax-deferred until withdrawn.)
  • You can choose from many ways to receive income. (See Payment Options.)
  • Your beneficiaries are assured a benefit if you die prematurely.
  • You’re guaranteed monthly payments. (guarantees based on the claims paying-ability of the issuing insurance company)

  • Some annuities charge a penalty if you take your money too soon.
  • Some annuities charge an annual management fee.
  • Some annuities may offer only a few investment options or ones in limited asset classes.
  • Your ability to receive future income payments is tied to the annuity issuer’s integrity and stability.
  • An annuity does not provide any additional tax deferral benefit, as tax deferral is provided by its Rollover status.
