Many of my clients had retirement funds protected from the market crash of 2008-2009 by having some of their retirement funds invested in fixed guaranteed rate annuities.

In addition many clients were able to maintain guaranteed monthly retitement cash flow from their fixed guaranteed payout annuities which are not affected by market volatility.  

Planning or thinking of retirement ?

Need a cash flow for life in retirement ? 

Annuities could be a very important part of your plan!  

What is an annuity?
An annuity is an investment that provides you with a regular fixed income for a lifetime or a specific number of years. Basically annuities fall into two phases. One builds funds for a future date (so is deferred) and the other spends funds (so is immediate) and provides you with a regular cash flow over a period of time.

A deferred annuity can help you
build your retirement funds for a future date. 50-65 is where most of the action is!
 
A
An immediate annuity can help you
spend
your retirement funds from a certain date 
65+ is where most of the action is!
 
Tax deferred growth.....what you need to know. 

A deferred annuity is a type of personal retirement account that allows you to grow your assets on a tax-deferred basis for long-term goals, like retirement. But as you know with Uncle Sam there is always a payback time. Talk to your financial planner and CPA about current and future taxation situations you may face in your retirement years. In particular ask them about ages 59/2 (penalty for early withdrawal) 62 (early social security payments) 70/2 (minimum distribution requirements) and how they they may affect your retirement and cash for life planning.

By now you will probably see that investing in an annuity is part of a much bigger retirement and cash flow for life planning decision.
 
There are thousands of annuity products on the market and many elements can often be confusing.

What types of deferred annuities are there?

There are two types of deferred annuities: fixed deferred annuities and variable deferred annuities.The interest your investment earns can be based on a fixed rate or a variable rate based on stocks, bonds and money market performance. There are benefits and risks associated with each, so make sure you understand your options.
