A fixed deferred annuity is a contract between you and SBLI which provides tax-deferred growth on your premium payment and interest earnings, as well as other important benefits such as:
- Competitive interest crediting rates
- Access to your funds with penalty free withdrawals
- Access to funds in the case of terminal illness and other critical events
- Several options to fit your income needs if and when you choose to take income from your annuity
- Direct payment to a named beneficiary that avoids probate
An SBLI tax-deferred annuity is ideal if you:
- Prefer a safe, predictable place to put your retirement funds
- Have 'maxed-out' your 401(k) contributions
- Want to save money, tax-deferred
- Want a steady income stream for life at a later date
