Secure Retirement Income

Create More Certainty Around the Income You’ll Depend On

Retirement changes the way you use your money. Instead of earning a paycheck, you begin relying more heavily on the assets and income sources you have built over time. Secure Retirement Income helps you understand insurance and annuity options, including features designed to support predictable income and protect principal from certain market risks, subject to contract terms and insurer guarantees.

Retirement Changes the Question

It’s No Longer Only About Growth.
It’s About Income.

  • How much income will I need each month?
  • Which expenses need to be covered consistently?
  • How much of my retirement income is guaranteed?
  • What happens if markets decline?
  • How long do my assets need to last?
  • How much flexibility do I want to maintain?

Understand Your Retirement Income Options

There is no single solution that is right for everyone. This section is designed to help you explore options focused on protection, predictability, and dependable retirement income

Fixed Indexed Annuities

Explore a retirement income option designed to protect principal from direct market losses while offering interest-crediting potential tied to a market index.

About Fixed Indexed Annuities

A Fixed Indexed Annuity, or FIA, is an insurance product designed to provide principal protection while offering the opportunity to earn interest based in part on the performance of a market index.

Your money is not invested directly in the stock market. Instead, interest is credited according to the terms of the contract and the index-crediting strategy selected.

FIAs may also include options designed to provide income during retirement.

For some retirees, protecting a portion of their savings from direct market losses can be just as important as pursuing growth.

A Fixed Indexed Annuity may offer principal protection, interest-crediting potential, and optional retirement income features, depending on the contract.

Because contract terms vary, understanding how the annuity works is essential before making a decision.

  • Principal ProtectionYour principal is protected from direct market losses, subject to the terms and guarantees of the issuing insurance company.

  • Index-Linked Interest PotentialInterest may be credited based on the performance of a selected market index without directly investing in that index.

  • Tax-Deferred GrowthInterest generally grows tax-deferred until withdrawals are taken.

  • Income OptionsSome contracts may offer optional features designed to help create income during retirement.

  • Seeking More ProtectionYou want to reduce direct exposure to market losses for a portion of your retirement savings.

  • Exploring Retirement Income OptionsYou want to understand annuity features that may support more predictable income during retirement.

  • Looking Beyond Traditional Fixed AccountsYou want the potential for interest credits linked to market performance while maintaining principal protection.

  • Understanding Different Retirement NeedsYou want to understand annuity features and limitations related to protection, income, interest credits, and access to funds.

  • Crediting MethodsIndex-crediting strategies may use caps, participation rates, spreads, or other contract terms that affect how interest is calculated.

  • Surrender PeriodsMany annuities include surrender charges for withdrawals above permitted amounts during the early years of the contract.

  • LiquidityAccess to funds may be limited compared with more liquid retirement assets, so available withdrawal provisions should be reviewed carefully.

  • Contract GuaranteesGuarantees depend on the financial strength and claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company.

    • Different Retirement Dollars Can Have Different Jobs

    Not every dollar in retirement needs to serve the same purpose.

    Everyday Expenses

    Income for recurring needs and essential expenses.

    Protected Assets

    Money positioned with greater emphasis on principal protection and predictability.

    Growth Assets

    Assets that may remain exposed to market opportunities and volatility.

    Legacy & Long-Term Goals

    Resources intended for future needs or beneficiaries.
