Annuity Rollover IRA

An Annuity Rollover IRA is an attractive strategy to continue tax-deferred growth and gain more control and flexibility over your retirement funds when you leave a job.There are two types of rollovers: A DIRECT ROLLOVER-occurs when you transfer your assets from your previous employer-sponsored plan directly into a Rollover IRA. An INDIRECT ROLLOVER -is when your employer-sponsored plan issues a check payable to you and you distribute the money to an IRA within 60 days from the day that you receive the check.

There are many benefits of a Annuity Rollover IRA

  • A guaranteed minimum of income every year of life, even if market losses completely deplete the account.
  • Guaranteed increases, during the accumulation years, in the amount that will be used to calculate income.
  • Potential Growth from market gains, which are locked in annually.
  • Protection of retirement income from market downturns. (In fact , individuals may choose to remain invested in the market longer , and/or more aggressively , than otherwise, due to protection afforded by the guarantees.)
  • Access to principal-with no loss of control.
  • Wealth Transfer-any amount remaining in the account after the retiree dies may be passed to heirs.

Pension Maximization  

When you’re ready to retire and you have a company pension, you’ll likely be asked to make a choice for your income between a Life Only option and a Joint and Survivorship option. 

The first option will pay you more income per month, but those income payments will stop when you die, leaving nothing for your surviving spouse. The second option will continue to pay your spouse if you die first, but you have to take a lower income amount from day one. 

Pension Maximization is a life insurance strategy in which you choose the higher income amount associated with the Life Only option from your employer, while providing enough insurance to continue that income for your spouse if you should die first.
