Because the market does not provide security, you may want your financial strategies to include some guaranteed* income products. For example, annuities, which, in some cases, can be like insurance products with guarantees,* and may provide a source of supplemental income throughout your retirement.
Twenty-first century asset protection calls for more than just strategic asset allocation. Including products like annuities in your retirement income strategy may help protect* your money from declines due to market losses.
Diversifying your retirement assets among a variety of vehicles — both through insurance products and investments, depending on what is appropriate for your situation — may offer you the chance of meeting your retirement income goals throughout your lifespan.
* Guarantees are backed by the financial strength and claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company.
Note: The use of diversification/asset allocation as part of your investment strategy neither assures nor guarantees better performance and cannot protect against loss in declining markets.
