Tax Advantages
Taxes are a big issue with most people saving for retirement. One of the great advantages
of annuities is that earnings grow on a tax-deferred basis until you start receiving a payout.
This means your money grows faster because income taxes won't be payable until distribution
payments are made from the annuity, usually when you are retired and in a lower tax bracket.

Potential for Lifetime Income
Financial security is a common worry for retirees. Annuities provide an option for a
steady stream of income for life, which can be especially useful for people who do not have a
retirement or pension plan to rely on. A lifetime payout could also help pay for Medicare
Supplement or Long Term Care insurance, or a grandchild's college education.

Safety Features
Many people saving for retirement prefer annuities to other types of riskier investments
because the safety of your principal is guaranteed with an annuity.

Payout Flexibility
Annuities offer a broad range of payout options, including a lump sum, payments for a certain
period of time, or payments for life. So you have the flexibility to choose a payout plan
that best meets your needs when you retire.
