Are You Prepared for a Secure Retirement with Lifelong Income and Growth?
Many individuals are unaware of how Fixed Indexed Annuities (FIAs) can boost your retirement savings.
FIAs are a tax-deferred investment product that ties your premiums to a stock market index like the S&P 500. They combine growth opportunities with protection of your principal.
The Pitfalls of Traditional Savings Methods
Traditional savings accounts and fixed investments often fail to provide the necessary growth to keep up with inflation, leaving you short of funds for retirement. Market fluctuations can also jeopardize your savings, making it challenging to achieve consistent, long-term growth.
The Power of Fixed Indexed Annuities
Fixed Indexed Annuities offer a balanced solution by linking your returns to market performance while safeguarding your principal from market drops. These annuities ensure a steady income stream for life, making them
an excellent component of your retirement plan.

Getting started is simple.
When you invest in a Fixed Indexed Annuity, your premiums are tied to a selected market index. While your money isn’t directly invested in the stock market, it earns interest based on the index’s performance. This structure allows for growth potential while ensuring your principal is protected. At the end of each term, earnings are added to your account, and you can opt to receive lifetime income or continue growing your investment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does an indexed annuity differ from a fixed annuity
The difference between the two is in how much your principal will earn. A fixed annuity guarantees compounded returns based on a fixed interest rate. An index annuity's returns vary with the market index it is linked to.
What does "principal Protection" mean?
Your money in a fixed index annuity (FIA) is not at risk from market losses. While FIAs credit interest based on an external index, you don’t actually participate in the market. This means your principal is safe from market losses, though fees and charges can still reduce your annuity's value.
What are the initial cap rate guaranteed periods?
After five or seven years, the initial guaranteed period expires. Renewal interest rates and caps are declared each contract anniversary. These rates and caps will never be less than the minimums stated in the contract.
How is indexed interested calculated?
Indexed interest is determined by index allocation options and crediting methods. Each crediting period, you can allocate your cash value to options that track an external index's performance. If the index performs well, we use a formula to calculate your indexed interest. Since no single allocation or crediting method is always best, your financial professional can help you choose the right combination for your goals.
