What Is an Annuity and Why It Matters for Retirement

Annuities are financial products designed to help you accumulate savings and convert those savings into a stable income stream. They can play a vital role in retirement planning, especially for people who want predictable payments that continue even after other income sources—such as employment—end.

Many individuals choose annuities as a way to:

  • Supplement Social Security.
  • Create predictable monthly income.
  • Protect retirement assets from market volatility.
  • Extend income throughout life or a set number of years.
  • Provide a steady financial foundation for retirement years.

Because no two retirement plans are identical, we take time to understand your goals, lifestyle needs, and long-term expectations before recommending the most appropriate annuity type.

Independent Broker Advantage: More Options, Better Choice

As an independent broker, Schultz & Schultz Insurance is not restricted to one company’s products. This allows us to compare multiple reputable providers and identify annuity options that align with your specific priorities. Our guidance centers on clarity and value—not pushing a single product.

This independent approach means you receive:

  • Multiple annuity options, not one-size-fits-all.
  • Clear explanations of benefits and drawbacks.
  • Honest recommendations based on your goals.
  • Strategies that protect your long-term financial health.
  • Support from a knowledgeable professional with real experience.

Our commitment is to help you make informed decisions that benefit your retirement, not ours.

Fixed Annuities: Stability and Predictable Growth

For individuals looking for dependable, guaranteed returns, fixed annuities offer a straightforward and reliable path. These annuities provide a set interest rate for a specified period, making them appealing for conservative savers and those who want guaranteed income during retirement.

Benefits typically include:

  • Predictable growth.
  • Fixed payouts.
  • Low risk.
  • Tax-deferred accumulation.

Fixed annuities can be ideal for clients who prefer safety, consistency, and long-term reliability.

Indexed Annuities: Growth Potential With Protection

For those seeking a balance between growth and protection, indexed annuities offer the potential for higher returns while still providing downside safeguards. These annuities track the performance of a market index, such as the S&P 500, but include features that prevent loss during market downturns.

They are designed to appeal to individuals who want:

Opportunities for higher earnings.

Lifetime Income Options: Peace of Mind for the Long Haul

One of the greatest advantages of annuities is the ability to generate lifetime income, ensuring you never outlive your retirement savings. Lifetime annuity options can provide consistent payments for as long as you live, regardless of market performance or economic fluctuations.

This provides a powerful sense of security, especially for those who:

  • Worry about outliving their retirement funds.
  • Want predictable monthly income.
  • Do not have pensions.
  • Prefer guaranteed financial stability for the future.

We help you evaluate whether lifetime income benefits align with your personal needs and financial situation.
