What Is an Annuity?
An annuity is a contract with an insurance company designed to help you grow savings and/or create retirement income. Depending on the type, annuities can offer principal protection, guaranteed interest features, and income options you can’t outlive. The best fit depends on your timeline, risk tolerance, and whether you want growth, income, or both.
