Selecting the Best Annuity Investment Strategy for Your Portfolio

Annuities can provide income you cannot outlive — a personal pension that pays for as long as you live.

What Is Annuities?

An annuity is a financial product issued by an insurance company that provides a guaranteed stream of income — either immediately or at a future date — in exchange for a lump-sum premium or a series of payments. Annuities are designed primarily to address the risk of outliving your retirement savings.

SecureLife offers several types of annuities: fixed annuities (guaranteed interest rate), variable annuities (market-linked growth), and fixed-indexed annuities (growth linked to a market index with downside protection).

Whether you are accumulating wealth for retirement or converting existing savings into guaranteed lifetime income, annuities are a powerful tool in a comprehensive retirement plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a fixed and variable annuity?

A fixed annuity earns a guaranteed interest rate, making it predictable and low-risk. A variable annuity invests in sub-accounts linked to the market, offering higher growth potential but with investment risk.

Are there fees associated with annuities?

Variable annuities typically have mortality and expense fees, administrative charges, and sub-account expenses. Fixed and indexed annuities generally have lower or no explicit fees.

What is a surrender period?

Most annuities have a surrender period (typically 5-10 years) during which early withdrawals trigger a surrender charge. Many policies allow penalty-free withdrawals of 10% per year.

Can I lose money in an annuity?

With fixed annuities, your principal is fully protected. With variable annuities, your account value can decline if sub-accounts perform poorly.
