What is an Annuity?

An annuity serves a contract between an investor (you) and an insurance company that requires the insurance company to make payments over an agreed upon period of time. This financial product can be used by investors to generate tax-deferred income to use at a later point in life. Typically, investors use annuities to save for important life events such as retirement since annuities can provide income to replace the paycheck that is no longer coming in.

Why Should You Buy an Annuity?

With so many investment products on the market, it can be hard to figure out which one will meet your needs. To help you understand how an annuity can fit your long-term goals, we’ve compiled a list of the three major reasons why investors buy annuities.

  • They provide a steady stream of retirement income that can last your entire lifetime or even stretch to cover the lifetime of your spouse or beneficiary.
  • They offer a death benefit that allows your beneficiary to receive a specific payment if you were to pass away before receiving your payments.
  • They allow for tax-deferred income growth, so you don’t have to worry about paying taxes on the income and investment gains from your annuity until you decide to withdraw funds.
  • They provide growth without market risk.

Now that you understand why investors choose to add annuities to their investment portfolios, let’s explore the different types of annuities options available to you.

Types of Annuities

 is a type of annuity where the insurance company agrees to provide you with a minimum interest rate and a fixed amount of payments over a period of time.

 is an annuity where the insurance company allows you to put your payments into different investment options directly in the market. With this type of annuity, your returns could be positive or negative and there are substantial fees.

credit you, the investor, with a return that is based on stock market indexes such as the S&P 500 while guaranteeing no downside market risk and incurring little or no fees.

Deciding which annuity option is right for your financial future will depend on your goals and how much risk you’re willing to take. At Secure Retirement Strategies, we help our clients understand the benefits and risks associated with annuities so that you can make an informed decision on whether or not an annuity is right for you.

Mike Neft and his staff were very professional and personal. We met with Mike to review our existing investments. As retirement approaches we wanted assurance that we would not exhaust our funds prior to our demise. Mike did a thorough review and suggested some changes that would provide us with guaranteed income sources.

The thought of making all the decisions involved with moving a lifetime of savings into the right places to secure one’s retirement years can be frightening. It was for my wife and me until our first meeting with Marc and Lou. Options were clearly explained. Questions were plainly answered. Most importantly, time was taken to build trust. We are glad that we found SRS!

Lou and Marc listen attentively to what we want, striving to find the best products for our financial goals and needs.

Their friendly, no-pressure personalities, paired with a vast knowledge of retirement options provides a strong feeling of confidence in their ability to assist us in meeting our retirement goals. It is a real pleasure working with the Secure Retirement Strategies team.

Mike, Marc, Merrick, Lou and Christian were very patient with my wife and me in explaining a secure retirement strategy and how to better position our finances to align with our goals. We met with several of them for a few times initially, and they patiently explained the strategies we could use for saving on taxes and getting better yields from our investments. We did not feel rushed or pushed into anything we weren’t comfortable with, and I highly recommend SRS to anyone that wants a better financial future.
