  1. What is a fixed deferred annuity?
    You can purchase a fixed tax deferred annuity with a single payment or make periodic payments as you save for retirement. All earnings in a fixed tax deferred annuity are not treated as taxable income until they are withdrawn. Withdrawals may be subject to regular income tax, and if made prior to age 59½ , may also be subject to a 10% IRS penalty. In addition, company imposed surrender charges may apply.

An annuity is the only type of product which has the ability to pay an income guaranteed to last as long as you live.
