ING / Voya / Venerable – Secure Index Opportunities Plus – Retired Annuity

The Secure Index Opportunities Plus is a 10-year indexed annuity. The Secure Index Opportunities Plus was a very popular annuity from around 2006 to 2015. It offered a 5.00% bonus and competitive rates. You could attach a lifetime income rider or choose to annuitize the contract giving you the ability to create a pension with the available account value. Owners of the annuity may have seen the company name change on the statements over time from ING, to Voya, and finally to Venerable. The Secure Index Opportunities Plus is no longer available to purchase. If you own one of these contracts it may be time to find a new option. There are hundreds of new options that offer higher rates and pension style income for the rest of your life.  Please feel free to reach out to Dyers Group for new options and a full review.
