Variable Annuities

A Variable Annuity is a tax deferred investment vehicle that can increase or decrease depending how the market performs. Investment sub accounts are chosen ending on the goals and risk tolerance of the investor.

This type of annuity grows tax-deferred, meaning you will be taxed when you withdraw a portion of the value. Variable annuities allow for diversification in the sub-accounts with funds ranging from the most conservative to the most aggressive.

Have you determined how much risk in the market you are able to tolerate?

This type of annuity offers stock funds, bond funds, and cash equivalents. We will help you determine your investment tolerance.

Annuities are long-term investments designed for retirement purposes. Withdrawals of taxable amounts are subject to income tax and, if taken prior to age 59½, a 10% federal tax penalty may apply. Early withdrawals may be subject to withdrawal charges. Optional riders have limitations and are available for an additional cost through the purchase of a variable annuity contract. Guarantees are based on the claims paying ability of the issuing company.
