The purpose of an annuity is to protect against the financial risk of living too long…the risk of outliving retirement income…by providing an income guaranteed* for life.

In fact, an annuity is the ONLY financial vehicle that can systematically liquidate a sum of money in such a way that income can be guaranteed* for as long as you live!

Here’s How an Income Annuity Works:

1. The annuitant pays a single premium to an insurance company.
2. Beginning immediately or shortly after the single premium is paid, the insurance company pays the annuitant an income guaranteed* to continue for as long as the annuitant is alive, assuming the annuitant selects a life income option. There are other payout options also available.
3. The insurance company pays survivor benefits, if any, to the annuitant s designated beneficiary after the annuitant s death.

* Guarantee is based on the continued claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company.
