    The Power of Protected Lifetime Income. Why now more than ever?

    JUNE 4, 2021

    In the age of COVID-19, the concept of protection is more important than ever. As retirement looms, a new set of risks comes into view: sequence-of-returns risk, longevity risk and long-term care risk. To explore today’s financial climate and challenges, Jackson® recently completed a new holistic annuity study that surveyed financial professionals and investors on the issue of preparing for retirement.

    The Jackson Holistic Annuity Study surveyed 289 investors and 214 financial professionals on investing for retirement. The investors were age 40 to 84 who had investable assets of $100,000 to $4 million and were financial decision makers in their households. We asked investors this key question:

    What does retirement income safety and Security mean to you?

    Annuities are long-term, tax-deferred vehicles designed for retirement. Variable annuities involve investment risks and may lose value. Earnings are taxable as ordinary income when distributed. Individuals may be subject to a 10% additional tax for withdrawals before age 59½ unless an exception to the tax is met. There is no guarantee that a variable annuity with an add-on living benefit will provide sufficient supplemental retirement income.

    Before investing, investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the variable annuity and its underlying investment options. The current contract prospectus and underlying fund prospectuses, which are contained in the same document, provide this and other important information. Please contact your representative or the Company to obtain the prospectuses. Please read the prospectuses carefully before investing or sending money.
