Annuities are insurance products designed to help turn savings into dependable income, offering stability and confidence as you approach or move through retirement. At The Way Agency, based in Kentucky, we help individuals and families understand and use annuities as part of a thoughtful retirement income and insurance strategy.

‍

Why Annuities Matter in a Retirement Income Strategy

‍

An annuity is a contract issued by an insurance company that can provide guaranteed income, protection from market volatility, and tax-deferred growth. For many people, annuities help bridge the gap between retirement savings and reliable income, supporting long-term financial confidence without relying solely on market performance.

‍

When structured appropriately, annuities can complement Social Security, pensions, and other retirement income sources, helping reduce uncertainty and improve predictability later in life.

‍

Key Benefits of Annuities

‍

Annuities offer several advantages when used appropriately:

• Guaranteed Income Options:
  Certain annuities offer income you cannot outlive, helping create consistency and predictability in retirement.
• Protection From Market Losses: Some annuity types help protect principal from market downturns while still allowing growth opportunities.
• Tax-Deferred Growth: Interest earned within an annuity grows tax-deferred, which may support more efficient long-term accumulation.
• Flexible Income Timing: Income can begin immediately or be deferred to a future date, depending on your retirement timeline.
• Beneficiary Considerations: Many annuities allow remaining value to pass to beneficiaries, helping preserve assets for loved ones.
