Grow wealth with time and tax-free compounding.

Compound interest is powerful enough, but with the advantage of tax free growth, annuities become even better wealth building vehicles. And the earlier you start, the more compound interest can work its magic.

Tax advantages can be passed on.

If you were to lose your life, your spouse does not have to pay taxes on an annuity if you’ve named your spouse as the primary beneficiary. Keep in mind this provision only applies to spouses—children named as beneficiaries must pay taxes on any inherited annuities.

Withdrawals may be subject to regular income tax and if made prior to age 59, may be subject to a 10% IRS penalty. In addition, surrender charges may apply. Your retirement plan may offer other options (eg. the ability to obtain a loan) and may have different fees and expenses than an annuity. Assets in a tax-qualified retirement plan already enjoy tax deferral; therefore, a tax deferred annuity or fixed deferred annuity.
