What is an annuity?
One to Grow On
Today's investors want the potential to capture investment growth and protection against downward market movements. But low-risk strategies like deposit accounts have offered historically low yields for a decade, leaving few options outside of equity markets. Annuities can help. They are long-term solutions designed for investing and retirement, and their many options and benefits can make them an important part of any financial strategy.
Structured Annuities
Also known as registered index-linked annuities (RILAs), structured annuities offer investors balance, control, and flexibility to help make their financial future more predictable.
- Upside potential
- Downside protection
- Pay less
Variable Annuities
Variable annuities are long-term, tax-deferred vehicles designed for retirement purposes and are subject to investment risk, including possible loss of principal. Variable annuities also offer greater opportunity to share in potential market gains along with these four main features:
- Wide selection of investment options
- Tax-deferred earnings accumulation
- Guaranteed death benefit options
- Guaranteed lifetime payout options
