How we're paid
When you request a free estimate, the information you provide is shared with a licensed financial or insurance professional who may contact you. That professional may earn a commission if you buy an insurance product, such as an annuity, and we may receive compensation for the referral. You are never required to buy anything.
Annuities
- Annuities are insurance contracts. Guarantees are backed solely by the financial strength and claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company.
- Annuities are not bank deposits, are not FDIC insured and are not insured by any federal government agency.
- Fixed index annuities are not investments in the stock market or an index. Interest credited is subject to caps, participation rates or spreads that can change.
- Most annuities have surrender charges if you withdraw more than a set amount during the first several years. Bonus annuities may have longer surrender periods, lower caps or bonus recapture.
- Optional riders, such as income riders, usually carry an extra annual fee.
- An annuity held inside an IRA or Roth IRA provides no additional tax deferral beyond the account itself.
