An annuity is a customizable insurance contract that can be used to do many things. Annuities are most commonly known for providing pension style income for life or specific periods of time. An annuity provides tax deferral and protection of your starting principal. Annuities can also provide fixed interest rates.

we can help you determine which annuity is right for you
Your money is backed by the financial strength of the insurance carrier. It’s important to make sure you’re partnering with a strong company. Additionally there are protections from the state guaranty association.
I’ve heard annuities lock your money up and that you have little access. It’s true that annuities have surrender periods. A surrender period is the length of time the insurance carrier can hold your asset. But, you get to choose the length of time. Surrender periods can be as short as 2 years and as long as 10. Additionally all annuities offer annual free withdrawals of up to 10% and provisions if the owner becomes terminally ill or is confined to a nursing facility.
Some annuities have fees, and some don’t. Most annuities used for simple accumulation have no fees. If you are using an annuity for lifetime income it could carry a fee. If you have an annuity that you believe has too high of a fee or too many fees feel free to contact us for a free review.
If you pass away while still in an annuity contract any early surrender charges will be waived and the total account value will be sent to your designated beneficiary(s).
