"Income on the brain?"

Starting to think about receiving income or nearing age 70 1/2? Then you may want to consider a Rollover Annuity. Designed specifically for retirement plan assets, this type of annuity is a contract between you and a life insurance company that allows you to specify how you want to receive income, and even elect a death benefit for your beneficiaries. Your money transfers to the annuity and earnings, if any, will continue to grow tax deferred until withdrawn.


What's up with Rollover Annuities

  • You can roll over any amount of tax-deferred savings from your employer-sponsored plan.
  • You choose how income will be paid, including guaranteed income for life.
  • If you transfer funds directly to a Rollover Annuity (rather than receiving them in your own name) you pay no income tax or penalties at time of transfer.
     
  • You choose how your money is invested … either at a fixed rate of return (guaranteed based on the claims-paying ability of the insurance company), a variable rate (which permits you to choose how money is invested and to possibly earn more), or a combination of both fixed and variable.
  • You can elect to begin income right away (an immediate annuity), or you can wait until a later date (with a deferred annuity) as long as you are not yet age 70 1/2.
