What is a fixed annuity?

With a fixed annuity, you deposit a sum of money (the premium) and earn a guaranteed interest rate. The interest you earn continues to grow tax-deferred2 until you withdraw funds or convert the annuity to a series of income payments over a set period of time or over your lifetime. An annuity could be a valuable addition to your retirement plan.

Longterm security

With people living longer, and questions about the long-term health of Social Security, you will need to rely more and more on your own savings to provide adequate income during your retirement.

An Everence annuity is one way you can build a financial foundation for your future income. Combining guaranteed lifetime income with guaranteed lifetime Social Security benefits can generate secure revenue to help you cover everyday living expenses, leaving your other savings available for travel, recreation and other unexpected expenses.

Annuities put Ursula's dream in reach

Retirees often gain the time to pursue long-delayed interests, but financial constraints can hinder their dreams. Ursula Hess, a retiree, wanted to take classes at Anabaptist Mennonite Biblical Seminary but found it wasn't feasible within her retirement budget.

With the guidance of an Everence financial consultant, Ursula set up an annuity to provide extra income. Now enrolled in seminary, Ursula not only benefits from the annuity’s financial support but also appreciates its alignment with her values, as part of her premium supports community development and church loans.
