An Annuity is a retirement income planning vehicle that protects your assets followed by growth. You may also have income for life on yourself and your spouse if setup properly. Protection of assets, income for life, inflation protection, growth with downside protection from market volatility and legacy planning are a few reasons people get annuities. It's very important to know which of the four types below are best for your situation.
- Fixed- The annuity's value accumulates at a constant rate
- Indexed- The value of your annuity is linked to an index but is protected from market fluctuations
- Immediate- You purchase the annuity for a one-time price and begin receiving payments immediately
- Variable- You invest the annuity in stocks, subject to the normal risks of the market

Like 401(k)s, 403(b)s, and other retirement savings plans, annuities are tax-deferred, meaning you don't have to pay taxes on the growth until you withdraw it. Unlike those plans, there is no limit to the amount of money you can contribute per year. This makes annuities ideal for those with savings or retirement accounts and a desire to grow or receive income off there assets while being protected.
