Annuities


Annuities allow for individuals to build wealth, manage taxes, accumulate assets and plan for income distribution during retirement. An annuity contract has two phases: an accumulation phase and a payout phase. During the accumulation phase, the contract owner makes a payment or payments into the contract in exchange for either a fixed or variable return that is not subject to income taxes until withdrawal, permitting the tax deferred growth of your investment. During the payout phase, the accumulated value of the annuity contract can be converted into an income stream that can last for a set period of time or for as long as one lives. Woodbury has the opportunity to work with many annuity companies. The different types of annuities:

Variable Annuities The combination of tax-deferred growth potential and guaranteed death benefit protection makes variable annuities a powerful alternative for achieving long-term retirement goals.

Fixed Annuities Fixed annuities offer predictable growth and flexible features that make planning for future retirement goals easier.

Immediate Annuities When you are ready to start taking retirement income, you can choose from a variety of annuity payout options available through immediate annuities..
