Variable annuities

Take charge of your retirement

You may have questions as you plan for retirement such as, “When is the right time to stop working and retire? Will my money last? How can I protect my money for my beneficiaries?” A variable annuity can help you prepare for these retirement challenges with the opportunity to grow your portfolio, enjoy income and share your legacy with the people and causes that matter most.

What is a variable annuity and what does it offer?

A variable annuity is a long-term retirement investment issued by an insurance company that can help you:

Grow your money
Take income in retirement
Pass on your wealth

A variable annuity offers:

More than 120 funds, giving you the ability to invest in the market while taking advantage of tax deferral -- you pay no taxes on earnings until they are withdrawn
A program designed to help you create annuity income projected to be sustainable
Opportunities to protect your investment for your spouse or other beneficiaries -- no matter how your annuity performs

Help optimize your wealth and allow assets to grow

In a variable annuity, your money has the opportunity to grow by investing in subaccount funds made up of stocks and bonds that rise and fall with the market. Over time, you can earn a “variable” rate of return. As with other investments, there is potential to lose money based on the performance of the subaccount funds.
