529 College Savings Account

A 529 College Savings Account is a tax advantaged way to save for higher education. Investments accumulate on a tax free basis and can be withdrawn without tax penalty to pay for higher education. The parent or custodian maintains control of the account. Unlike traditional custodian accounts (UGMA/UTMA), the minor does not obtain rights to the assets of a 529 college savings account once they reach their age of majority. 529 plans do not provide a guaranteed rate of return. The risk with a 529 Plan is that the investments may not perform well enough to cover the rising cost of college. Always consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the underlying investment carefully before investing.

Annuities

Tax Deferral: Who Benefits Most…. You or the IRS?

A variable annuity is a long-term investment vehicle designed to accumulate money on a tax-deferred basis for retirement purposes. It allows you to allocate your investment among a number of investment options for diversification opportunities. It can perform as a supplemental personal retirement account that brings together a combination of managed investments and insurance while providing for tax deferred growth potential until withdrawn. Annuity contracts can also offer unique features such as a degree of principal protection through income options, enhanced death benefit and estate enhancement benefits that can be customized to meet your needs. An annuity can also provide the opportunity for lifetime income upon annuitization.

Early withdrawal of surrenders may be subject to surrender charges. Distributions and withdrawals may also be subject to ordinary income tax and, if taken prior to age 59 1/2, a 10 percent federal tax penalty may apply. You should consult your personal tax adviser on all tax matters. Withdrawals may reduce the death benefit; cash surrender value and any living benefit amount. Any guarantees are based upon the claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company. Guarantees do not apply to the investment performance or account value of the underlying investment options; investment values will fluctuate with changes in market conditions.

Variable annuities are sold only by prospectuses, which contain more complete information including fees, surrender charges and other costs that may apply. Investors should consider that investment objectives, strategies, risk factors, charges and expenses of the underlying investment options carefully before investing. The fund prospectus will contain this and other information about the underlying investment option. Call me to obtain current prospectuses. Please read the product and fund prospectuses carefully before you invest or send money.
