Fixed
Annuities - Deferred investments which pay stated
rate of return for a stated period and provides the
added security of a stated minimum interest rate. These
annuities are best for helping you to meet your long
term goals. A fixed annuity may allow you to achieve
potentially higher returns because taxes are generally
deferred, a feature that allows you to benefit from
the effects of compounding in three ways: You earn a
return on your investment; on your earnings; and on
the money you would otherwise have paid in taxes. Get

Variable
Annuities - are deferred investments that have the
same tax benefits of deferred fixed annuities, but their
rate of return varies according to the returns of investment
sub-accounts. You select the sub-accounts you want to
invest in and decide how much risk you want to take.
By allocating portions of your investment to different
asset classes, it is possible to achieve a balance between
risk and potential reward that is suitable for your
particular circumstances. Take control of your investments
by requesting a quote on a variable annuity.
CD
Type Annuities - Annuity products where the number
of years the interest rate is guaranteed is the same
as the number of years the surrender charge exists.
For example; annuities products that have a 5 year guaranteed
interest rate and a five year surrender charge would
be considered CD Type Annuities.
Fixed
Deferred Annuities - Offer a guaranteed interest
rate for a set period of time. Your earnings grow tax
deferred until you begin to withdraw your income. Because
your principal and interest rate are guaranteed by the
issuing company, it is important to consider a strong,
stable company that will be there tomorrow. The company
generally resets the interest rate periodically, but
guarantees the rate will never fall below a minimum
rate stated in your contract.
Variable
Deferred Annuities - Offer investment choice and
flexibility. Variable annuities offer a range of stock
and bond investment choices that can provide higher
returns than a fixed rate account, but the returns are
not guaranteed. Many variable annuities also offer a
fixed rate account. All of your earnings grow tax deferred
until you begin to withdraw them.
Bond
Indexed Annuities - Provides the choice of different
"Bond Strategies" or "Bond Portfolios"
each with it's own investment objective. These portfolio's
or strategies are modeled after the portfolios of some
well known bond indexes. Bond indexes that companies
are currently modeling their portfolios after include
Merrill Lynch Convertible Bond Index Total Return, Lehman
Brothers High Yield Bond Index, Lehman Brothers Government/Corporate
Bond Index etc.
