LINCOLN ANNUITIES®
Growing your retirement savings is only one part of planning for your future. Have you thought about how you'll turn your "nest egg" into a monthly retirement income? Annuities are long-term savings vehicles designed to do just that: grow and protect your money leading up to retirement, then turn that money into an income stream you can't outlive. Annuities can either be Immediate (payout begins at purchase) or Deferred (payout begins at a later date).
Consider purchasing an Annuity to help you prepare for retirement. Explore the options we can offer you:
Fixed annuities - For a predictable return
- Provides a monthly payout based on a fixed interest rate
- Can specify payouts for a fixed period of time or for life (annuitization)
- Earnings are not taxed until paid out (tax-deferred)
- Best for investors with low risk tolerance who seek wealth preservation or an addition/alternative to other fixed income vehicles (Bonds, CD's, etc.)
