Investing in an annuity offers several benefits and flexibility based on your money goals. Some benefits include the flexibility of getting tax-deferred growth, which allows your investments to grow without immediate tax implications, or non-tax deferred growth if you'd rather your earnings be taxed annually.

Annuities can also provide guaranteed income in retirement, helping with financial stability. Additionally, they may offer options for protection against market volatility and death benefits for beneficiaries, depending on the product chosen.

A fixed indexed annuity offers some growth potential linked to a market index, while a variable annuity's returns are directly tied to market performance and carry more risk.

The safest type of annuity is typically a fixed annuity. Fixed annuities provide guaranteed returns protecting your principal from market fluctuations. It is important to understand the issuing insurance company's rating and individual circumstances when evaluating safety.

While annuities don't have federal government insurance, there are state guaranty associations in all 50 states. State guaranty associations provide protection up to certain limits in case the issuing insurance company fails. This coverage varies by state, so it's important to understand the specific protections available where you live.

Gainbridge® annuities have a minimum deposit of $1,000 for all products.

A Market Value Adjustment (MVA) is a positive or negative adjustment applied to the amount of your withdrawals exceeding your Free Withdrawal Amount. It's based on interest rate changes from when you bought the annuity to when you withdraw.
