The three fixed index annuity options with or without income riders listed below are our annuity planning recommendations for the reasons listed.

Unfortunately regulatory compliance does not allow us to give specific company or individual annuity recommendations since each state offers differing annuities under the same name.
Please call or email us for a state specific annuity recommendation based on option One, Two or Three below then request state specific company brochures for all the details. Thank You
Immediate Income Inflation Hedging Option One
This annuity strategy involves the best annuity that will allow for immediate income this is a Fixed Index Annuity with an income rider that has the unique ability to create an increasing income to hedge against inflation. Income is **guaranteed for life when the income rider is activated.
Do not confuse this with an Immediate Annuity where you give up control of your principal. With this strategy you remain in majority control of the account value. This strategy gives for life with access to principal if needed and heirs receive the full account value in the event of an untimely death.

This strategy exhibits excellent growth in deferral. This Fixed Index Annuity may or may not be paired with an optional income rider depending upon the company. Some annuities in this category offer a **guaranteed asset growth as a death benefit or even a Long Term Care Benefit.
