History

Established in 2000.

First introduced in America back in 1759, the annuity concept of collecting a pool of money for future payouts is as old as the concept of insurance — only the annuity was developed to insure payouts while a person is still alive. While the annuity has undergone substantial changes since the 18^th century, in recent years it has morphed so significantly that previous critics have turned into some of its greatest advocates.



Today’s retiree is learning that there is an important place for annuities in today’s retirement planning. However, it is important to choose the correct annuity for your financial situation and ensure that it works in concert with the rest of your portfolio. When utilized correctly, the annuity can be a very effective retirement income vehicle.
