WHAT ARE ANNUITITES?
An annuity is a common way to save for retirement with tax advantages1, and to convert assets into a regular income stream during retirement.
You can buy an annuity using a single deposit, or with flexible, ongoing premiums over time. Some annuities are available for shorter or longer time periods.
In New York, we may offer state-specific annuities, and not all products are available.

Fixed vs. Indexed Annuities
Annuities offer a way to grow savings based on a fixed interest rate or on the performance of an index.
Fixed annuities
-
Fixed interest rate
-
Guaranteed minimum interest rate
Indexed annuities
-
Based on the performance of an index such as the S&P® 500
-
No direct participation in stock or equity investments
-
Downside protection through minimum guarantees to ensure that your cash value will not decline due to decreases in the index
-
Offers greater earnings potential than a fixed annuity, but in years when the index is down, no interest will be credited
