The Problem We Solve

You Saved Your Whole Life.
The Last Thing You Want is to Run Out.

๐Ÿ˜ฐ Without a Guaranteed Income Floor

  • Every market crash triggers panic โ€” do I sell or wait?
  • Withdrawals in a down market permanently impair your portfolio
  • You cut lifestyle spending to make the math work
  • A long life becomes a financial risk, not a blessing
  • Long-term care can wipe out what took 40 years to build
  • Your spouse is left scrambling if you go first

โœ… With the Right Annuity Structure

  • A guaranteed check hits your account every single month โ€” forever
  • Market crashes become irrelevant โ€” your floor income never changes
  • Your portfolio can wait for a recovery while you live your life
  • Living to 95 is a blessing, not a budget problem
  • Hybrid options can fund long-term care and retirement income
  • Joint payouts protect your surviving spouse automatically

The Core Insight

“The only financial product on earth that can contractually guarantee you income no matter how long you live is an annuity. Not a 401(k). Not a CD. Not a stock portfolio. An annuity.”

The 4 Types We Offer

Not All Annuities Are the Same.
Here’s How to Choose.

We work with fixed, fixed-indexed, immediate (SPIA), and deferred income (MYGA/QLAC) annuities โ€” never variable, never market-risk products.

๐Ÿ”’

Fixed Annuity
(MYGA โ€” Multi-Year Guaranteed)

Most Conservative

Like a CD โ€” but better. A fixed annuity locks in a guaranteed interest rate for a set term (typically 3โ€“10 years) with principal protection.

Current Rate Range (2025): 4.5% โ€“ 6.0%+ APY

โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜… 4.8 (245 reviews)

  • CD rollovers seeking higher yields
  • Conservative savers 50โ€“75
  • IRA / TSP / 403(b) funds
  • Short-term safe growth (3โ€“7 years)

๐Ÿ“ˆ

Fixed Indexed Annuity
(FIA โ€” S&P Linked)

Most Popular

Your principal is 100% protected from market losses (floor = 0%), while you participate in market index gains when markets rise.

Market Crash Year: 0% credit (never negative)

โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜… 4.9 (312 reviews)

  • Pre-retirees in the “red zone” (age 55โ€“70)
  • Rolling a 401(k) or IRA into guaranteed growth
  • Pairing with an income rider for lifetime payouts

Immediate Annuity
(SPIA โ€” Income Starts Now)

Fastest Income

Income begins within 30 days. A Single Premium Immediate Annuity (SPIA) is your “personal pension” โ€” covering essential expenses for life.

Example: $200K โ†’ ~$1,100โ€“$1,380/mo for life (age 65)

  • Already retired and need income now
  • Pension replacement for private sector workers
  • Joint payouts to protect a surviving spouse

๐Ÿ•

Deferred Income Annuity
(DIA / QLAC โ€” Longevity Insurance)

Longevity Protection

Fund it now, income begins at a future date you choose (often age 80 or 85). A QLAC can be funded with IRA money and reduces your RMD calculations.

QLAC IRS Limit 2025: $200,000 from IRA ยท Reduces RMDs

  • Protecting against outliving all other assets
  • Reducing RMD burden from large IRAs
  • Ages 60โ€“75 wanting “longevity insurance”

Plain English

How an Annuity Actually Works โ€” in 4 Steps

1

You Fund the Contract

You make a lump sum payment from savings, a CD rollover, an IRA, 401(k), TSP, or after-tax money. IRA strategies โ†’

2

Your Money Grows Tax-Deferred

No taxes on gains until you take income. Fixed rate or index-linked with a 0% floor โ€” you never lose principal to market declines. Tax planning โ†’

3

Income Turns On โ€” Guaranteed for Life

Your guaranteed monthly payment begins โ€” for your lifetime, your spouse’s lifetime, or both. Cannot be reduced, cancelled, or affected by market performance. Pairs with Social Security โ†’

4

Your Beneficiaries Receive Whatever Remains

Most annuities include a death benefit that bypasses probate entirely. Joint options mean your spouse continues receiving income without interruption. Estate planning โ†’

The Federal / State Employee Retiree

You have a pension and TSP, but the TSP isn’t structured to generate income efficiently. An annuity adds a guaranteed income layer.

MYGA Rollover ยท Retired Teacher

Margaret, 68 ยท Annapolis, MD

Margaret’s CD was maturing at 3.8%. Her bank offered 3.9% for renewal. We showed her a 5-year MYGA at 5.6% APY with full principal protection.

Result: $4,680 more per year. Over 5 years: +$23,400 in her pocket.

FIA with Income Rider ยท Federal Employee

David & Carol, 63 & 61 ยท Rockville, MD

David rolled $280,000 from his TSP into an FIA with a lifetime income rider. The 2022 market correction hit zero on their annuity โ€” their guaranteed income base kept growing regardless.

Result: $2,850/month guaranteed for life at 70 โ€” joint payout. The 2022 crash didn’t touch it.

SPIA ยท Recently Retired

Sandra, 67 ยท Vienna, VA

Sandra used $220,000 to purchase a SPIA to fill a $2,400/month gap between her Social Security and her $4,200/month in essential expenses.

Result: $1,390/month guaranteed for life. All essentials covered. Portfolio untouched for growth.

Every Question We Get Asked. Answered Honestly.

What are the best annuities for retirement income?โ–ผ
The best annuity for retirement income depends on your age, goals, and timeline. FIAs with lifetime income riders are most popular for pre-retirees age 55-70. SPIAs are best for those already retired who need income now. MYGAs work well as CD alternatives. QLACs help reduce RMDs. As independent brokers, we compare products from 20+ carriers to find the right fit.
Can I actually lose money with an annuity?โ–ผ
With fixed and fixed-indexed annuities, your principal cannot decrease due to market performance. The floor is zero โ€” in a down year, your account simply doesn’t grow, but it doesn’t shrink. Early withdrawal during the surrender charge period may incur surrender charges. Withdrawals before age 59ยฝ can trigger an IRS 10% penalty plus taxes on gains.
What happens to my annuity when I die?โ–ผ
Most annuities include a death benefit. Your named beneficiary receives either the remaining account value or a guaranteed minimum โ€” bypassing probate entirely. Joint-and-survivor annuities continue income to your spouse automatically. SPIAs with a “period certain” option ensure payments continue to heirs if you die early. Estate planning โ†’
Can I use my IRA, 401(k), or TSP to fund an annuity?โ–ผ
Yes. A direct rollover from an IRA, 401(k), or TSP into an IRA-qualified annuity is a non-taxable event. You can do a partial rollover to create a guaranteed income floor while keeping the rest invested. TSP rollover strategies โ†’ | IRA strategies โ†’
What are current annuity rates?โ–ผ
As of 2025, MYGAs are offering 4.5โ€“6.0% guaranteed from A-rated carriers โ€” significantly above bank CD rates. FIAs offer caps of 9-14% on S&P 500 strategies with zero downside. Immediate annuity payout rates for a 65-year-old range from $550-$690/month per $100,000 deposited. Rates change frequently โ€” call 301-569-2224 for current rates.
