Annuity
Annuities are insurance contracts in which the client is guaranteed a stream of income, in the present or a determined future date. These are often retirement products that may be used to help increase savings, protect savings, or generate a stream of income. Annuities provide clients with stability and security for their retirement years. Benefits of annuities include protection from market volatility, fixed interest growth, tax deferral, and a guaranteed stream of income for their lifetime.
Fixed Annuities - The interest is determined by the insurance company for a period of time.
Fixed Index Annuities - Money is not invested in an index, but the interest is credited based on the change.
Immediate Annuities - An immediate annuity, also known as SPIA, gives clients the option to choose a guaranteed lifetime payment or a payment as short as 5 years(depending on their goals).
