2 1 Prudent investors recognize the VALUABLE BENEFITS of having a fixed annuity in their retirement portfolio.

3 Why select a fixed annuity to reach your financial goals? GUARANTEED SAFETY OF PRINCIPAL Your premium and earnings are never at risk. Unlike traditional equity investments, your annuity account value can never be less than your principal investment.* GUARANTEED INTEREST RATE OPTIONS You have initial guaranteed interest period choices of 1, 3 or 5 years. OPTIONAL FIRST-YEAR RATE ENHANCEMENT A first-year interest rate enhancement option allows you to jump-start your savings. GUARANTEED CONSISTENT GROWTH Your interest rate cannot fall below a guaranteed minimum. TAX-DEFERRED EARNINGS GROWTH This means you don t pay taxes on your earnings until you take them out. Your assets grow faster in a deferred annuity than in a taxable account, because earnings aren t taxed until they are withdrawn. GUARANTEED LIFETIME INCOME OPTION When you choose the lifetime income option, you can rest assured that you will never outlive your income. An annuity is an ideal way to augment Social Security and other savings to maintain an optimum financial lifestyle during retirement. You can choose to provide income throughout the life of a loved one as well. GUARANTEED DEATH BENEFIT At the annuitant s death, the full account balance may be withdrawn without penalty or an early withdrawal charge.
