  • Immediate annuities
    If you’re nearing or in retirement, an immediate annuity provides an income stream. Depending on your needs, it may be good for filling a gap during a certain period of time or adding to your lifetime income.
     
  • Fixed annuities
    If reliability is important to you, then enhancing your retirement savings with a guaranteed, stream of lifetime income from a fixed annuity may be a good choice for those thinking ahead.
     
  • Variable annuities
    Another good option may be to accumulate tax-deferred savings at variable rates with a variable annuity. This can be a good option when starting your retirement savings early.

Annuities are issued by The Guardian Insurance & Annuity Company, Inc. (GIAC), a Delaware corporation. Individual variable annuities are distributed by Park Avenue Securities LLC (PAS).

There is no additional tax deferral benefit for annuity contracts purchased in an IRA or other tax-qualified plan, since these are already afforded tax-deferred status. Thus, an annuity should only be purchased in an IRA or qualified plan if you value some of the other features of the annuity and are willing to incur any additional costs associated with the annuity to receive such benefits.

Variable annuities are long-term investment vehicles that involve certain risks, including possible loss of the principal amount invested. The investment return and principal value may fluctuate so that the investment, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Withdrawals of taxable amounts will be subject to ordinary income tax and possible mandatory federal income tax withholding. If taken prior to age 59½, a 10% IRS penalty may also apply. Withdrawals affect the variable annuity’s death benefit, cash surrender value and any living benefit and may also be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge.
