 Tax-Deferred Options | Taxable Options 

You choose how your annuity earns money Vanilla, chocolate or fudge swirl

Both deferred and immediate annuities come in different flavors. Which flavor you choose determines how your earnings/payments may be calculated.

FIXED ANNUITY
Flavor Vanilla
Style Fixed
Potential Return Lower
Additional Information
The life insurance company determines the rate your annuity may earn. It may not be as high as you could get in the stock market, but you may sleep better at night.
     
VARIABLE ANNUITY
Flavor Chocolate
Style Variable
Potential Return Higher
Additional Information
You direct how your annuity payments are invested by choosing among professionally managed annuity fund options. (Most annuities offer quite a few choices these days.) You decide how much goes into each option, and you can move your money between options. Your annuity's may go up or down based on how your choices perform.
     
EQUITY-INDEXED ANNUITY
Flavor Fudge Swirl
Style Equity-Indexed
Potential Return Higher
Additional Information
Your rate of return may be tied to the performance of a general market index, such as the S&P 500. When the index increases, your account may go up. If the index decreases, you may be assured of the minimum rate of return.
