PLAN FOR THE INCOME BEHIND YOUR RETIREMENT

Retirement Is About More Than an Account Balance

For most people, retirement means replacing a paycheck with income from several different places.

Social Security, pensions, retirement accounts, savings, insurance products, and other resources may all play a role.

The important question is not simply how much money you have accumulated. It is how those resources may support your essential expenses, lifestyle, and priorities throughout retirement.

Help Cover Essential Expenses

Start by understanding the income needed for housing, utilities, food, healthcare, transportation, insurance, and other ongoing expenses.

Plan for a Longer

Retirement

Retirement may last many years. We look at how your income sources may work together over time rather than focusing only on today’s balance.

Coordinate With What You Already Have

Social Security, pensions, savings, retirement accounts, existing annuities, and insurance should be considered together—not treated as separate decisions.

RETIREMENT INCOME, EXPLAINED SIMPLY

Your Income Strategy Should Fit Your Retirement—not Just a Product

Retirement income planning involves looking at how different financial resources may help support your expenses and priorities after employment income decreases or stops.


There is no single strategy that is appropriate for everyone.


PFG is an independent life insurance brokerage. We begin by understanding your situation and then review insurance-based options that may be appropriate alongside the retirement resources you already have.


Depending on your needs, those conversations may include annuity or other insurance strategies designed to provide contractual income or other guarantees.

Important to Know

Insurance and annuity products vary by insurer and state. Product features, surrender periods, charges, liquidity provisions, guarantees, and other terms vary by contract.

Guarantees are backed by the claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company. Information provided by PFG is educational and is not individualized investment, tax, or legal advice.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Questions About Retirement Income Protection?

Retirement income decisions can involve a lot of moving pieces. Here are a few common questions people have before scheduling a review.

What is retirement income protection?

Retirement income protection generally refers to strategies designed to help create greater predictability around income needed during retirement. The appropriate approach depends on your existing resources, expenses, goals, timeline, liquidity needs, and other considerations.

Do I have to move all of my retirement money?

No. A retirement income review starts by understanding what you already have. An appropriate strategy may involve only part of your retirement resources—or no new product at all.

What if I already have Social Security or a pension?

Those income sources should be part of the conversation. We look at how Social Security, pensions, savings, retirement accounts, insurance products, and other resources may work together.

Are annuities appropriate for everyone?

No. Annuities have different features, guarantees, restrictions, liquidity provisions, and costs depending on the contract. Whether one may be appropriate depends on your individual situation and priorities.

Are retirement income guarantees really guaranteed?

Certain insurance and annuity contracts may provide contractual guarantees subject to the terms of the policy or contract. Those guarantees are backed by the claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company.

Will I still have access to my money?

Liquidity varies by product. Some contracts may include surrender periods, withdrawal limits, charges, or other restrictions. We review those provisions before you make a decision.

Will I be pressured to buy anything?

No. The purpose of the review is to help you understand your situation and available options. You decide whether any solution makes sense for you.

Do I have to make a decision during the appointment?

No. You can take time to review the information, ask questions, and decide what you are comfortable with.

What happens during the first conversation?

We’ll start by learning about your current retirement resources, expected income, essential expenses, retirement timeline, priorities, and concerns. From there, we can determine whether any insurance-based strategies may be worth reviewing.
