An annuity is a type of investment you make with an insurance company. It helps you build a steady income for retirement, similar to creating your own pension or retirement fund. We offer three types of annuities including Deferred, Immediate, and Indexed Annuities.
Deferred Annuities are designed to build savings overtime. To start, you invest a lump sum or pay monthly premiums to your insurance company. Then, the insurance company issues you regular payments for a specific period of time. Your investment grows on a tax-deferred basis, giving you the opportunity to reinvest your interest to potentially generate more wealth.
If you are considering investing in a deferred annuity, here are some of the benefits:
Immediate Annuities are designed for those who need to collect income straight away. You invest a lump sum with your insurance company. Then, you begin to receive regularly scheduled payments you can rely on without a waiting period. This option is good for those who are retired or near retirement.

Unlike traditional invest options, indexed annuities offer a guaranteed minimum interest rate, making this a safer investment option. While you are protected from the risk of loss, indexed annuities normally have a cap on the maximum gains you can earn in a period.
