Annuities

What is an annuity?

Annuities are tax-deferred investments that allow you to earn a post-retirement income — which means you can earn money even after you're off the clock.

Learn about the four types of annuities.

1. Single premium immediate annuity
This can be a great way to create a guaranteed "paycheck." It could provide predictable, guaranteed immediate income for life or a set period of time while limiting downside market risk

2. Fixed annuity
A low-risk option that guarantees a fixed interest rate over a specific time period and offers low investment minimums

3. Variable annuity
A higher-risk option that provides the potential for a greater opportunity for growth based on your investment's marketplace performance

4. Index and equity-linked annuity
Offers some protection from downside risk and has the potential for more earnings as the stock market rises

2. Begin contributing
Unlike traditional retirement accounts such as 401(k)s and IRAs, most annuities don't have an annual contribution limit so you can contribute as much as you want
