As retirement nears, a traditional strategy for many people has been to move from growth-seeking products to more conservative, fixed-income products such as bonds. However, bonds may not provide the value you expect when you cash in.

That's why we suggest considering a safer alternative such as annuities. Annuities are often preferred because they: 

- Are a guaranteed stream of income for the remainder of your life.
- Can protect you from market downturns.
- Are tax-deferred. 
- Offer death benefit options during the accumulation phase.

Download our guide now to learn whether annuities might be appropriate for your retirement income strategy. In it, you'll see a detailed hypothetical example of a person who relies on bonds for retirement income compared to someone who relies on annuities.
