Our Immediate Annuity Services

Explore income-focused annuity guidance designed to turn retirement assets into dependable, structured cash flow.

Immediate Annuities

Convert a lump sum into a guaranteed income stream that typically begins within 30 days, helping replace a paycheck with predictable monthly retirement income.

Fixed Annuities

Use conservative fixed annuity options for principal protection and guaranteed interest when safety and predictability matter in your broader retirement income strategy.

Fixed Indexed Annuities

Consider indexed annuity solutions that offer principal protection with growth tied to market indexes, often paired with guaranteed income riders for retirement planning.

Deferred Annuities

Plan ahead with deferred annuities that build tax-deferred value now and activate income later, supporting a staged transition into retirement.

Variable Annuities

Review variable annuity options for clients comfortable with market risk who want tax-deferred growth and potential future income features.

Retirement Planning

Coordinate annuity decisions with broader retirement and financial planning so income, taxes, risk tolerance, and long-term goals work together.

Guaranteed Income Focus

Reliable Income From Retirement Assets

An immediate annuity can help transform a rollover, inheritance, pension buyout, or retirement distribution into a steady income stream you can count on. Brokerage Consulting helps clients evaluate payout options, timing, and contract features so their lump sum supports day-to-day retirement needs with less uncertainty and no ongoing investment management burden.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can annuities provide a lifetime income?

Yes. Certain annuities, including immediate annuities, can be structured to provide income for life. In exchange for a lump-sum premium, the insurance company agrees to make scheduled payments based on the contract terms. Options may include single-life or joint-life payouts, which can help cover essential retirement expenses with predictable monthly income.
