Retirement income planning

What is a fixed annuity?

A fixed annuity is an insurance contract that:

  • Guarantees a fixed interest rate on your money for a set period
  • Protects your principal from market losses when held to term
  • Grows tax deferred until you take income or withdrawals
  • Gives you income for life

Keeps your money safe and growing at a guaranteed rate, helping you build reliable retirement income without the ups and downs of the market.

  • Principal protection

  • Tax deferred growth

    Interest isn’t taxed until you withdraw, which can help long term planning

A fixed annuity provides guaranteed growth and principal protection, built specifically for long-term retirement planning rather than short-term market moves.

How a fixed annuity fits into retirement Building your “safe money” bucket

We use fixed annuities to create a stable foundation in your retirement plan—money you don’t want exposed to market risk.

Income Strategies

  • Let the annuity grow for future income
  • Turn it into a guaranteed monthly check
  • Use it to cover specific needs (housing, healthcare, or legacy goals)

Frequently Asked Questions

Our guidance is always free — we’re here to help you understand your options.

Do fixed annuities replace my 401(k or IRA)?

No. They’re usually one piece of a broader retirement strategy, not a full replacement.

Are fixed annuities risky?

They avoid market risk, but you still need to understand surrender periods, fees, and inflation trade offs. We walk you through all of that in plain language.

Can I lose my principal?

When held to term with a reputable carrier, your principal is protected from market losses under the contract terms.

How do I know if a fixed annuity is right for me?

We review your age, goals, risk tolerance, income needs, and existing accounts to see if a fixed annuity adds value—or if another approach makes more sense.
