Common Questions

Get plain-language context before discussing your individual situation.

What types of annuities are there?
Fixed annuities guarantee a rate. Fixed indexed annuities credit interest from a market index with downside protection. Immediate annuities start paying right away; deferred contracts grow first and pay later.
Are the guarantees from the annuity carrier?
Yes. Every guarantee is backed by the issuing insurance carrier and its contract terms — another reason to compare carrier strength, not just rates.
Can I use my 401(k) or IRA?
Often yes. Your agent can compare rollover options and what they mean for taxes.
Can I still access my money?
Liquidity varies by contract. Review surrender periods and free-withdrawal provisions first.
How are payout rates determined?
The interest-rate environment, your age, and the payout period you choose all factor into the income a contract can guarantee.
