Frequently Asked Questions
If you need additional income during retirement, or want to receive steady payments for life, an annuity may be the best strategy for you. An annuity could also support you if you were to use up your other retirement assets too quickly. You can make one contribution, or several overtime, and payment is distributed to you either over a few years, or for life.
A deferred annuity is created after making a single contribution, or several, and the funds are received at a future, predetermined date. An immediate annuity allows you to start receiving funds instantly after your initial investment. Both usually provide tax advantages and serve as additional income options during retirement.
A fixed annuity has minimum guarantees and cannot experience market losses. No matter how market conditions change, an FB annuity is guaranteed to earn a minimum interest rate yearly.
