Deferred Annuity
A deferred annuity is designed to help you build and protect retirement savings now, and convert those savings into guaranteed income later. You fund the annuity during the deferral period, and the annuity can provide future income payments based on your choices.
What makes a deferred annuity different?
- Accumulation phase: you contribute and allow potential growth
- Income phase: later, you can annuitize or add an income rider to create payments
- Built for long-term planning, not short-term liquidity
When a deferred annuity may fit
A deferred annuity may be a fit if you want:
- To protect assets for retirement rather than spend them today
- To create a future income stream with guarantees from the issuing company
- A tool to complement Social Security, pensions, or other income sources
If you want to compare with other annuity types, read about Fixed Annuities, Fixed Indexed Annuities, and Immediate Annuities.
