3 benefits of guaranteed income for clients

Financial
Research finds that retirees who hold a larger portion of their wealth in guaranteed income actually spend more than retirees who hold equal wealth in investments.¹
Emotional
The security of a protected paycheck reduces or lessens the stress of market ups and downs from your clients’ lives, so they feel more comfortable spending money on their lifestyle.
Budgetary
As clients age, automating a budget with guaranteed income can help them reduce the risk of financial mistakes due to the risk of congitive impairments.

Build more confidence with a guaranteed income solution

Guaranteed income solutions, like annuities, can help clients feel more confident in the long-term viability of their retirement plan. See how leveraging an annuity can protect retirement income and secure funding for inflexible retirement expenses.

Meet Tom and Lucy

Tom and Lucy are 65 year-old pre-retirees who don't want to run out of money in retirement. They want to ensure their essential expenses are covered so they can live out their lifestyle goals in retirement.

Typical sources of retirement income

Tom and Lucy are relying on typical income sources, like Social Security, a pension plan, and personal savings to support their retirement needs. But only the Social Security and pension plan will provide guaranteed income they can rely on to cover inflexible expenses.

Leveraging an annuity to instill more confidence

By using some of their personal savings to add an annuity with a guaranteed income benefit to their retirement plan, Tom and Lucy can increase the portion of their retirement income that is guaranteed. More guaranteed income can help protect their plan against unexpected risks and increase the likelihood that their money will last a lifetime.
