Start with the real question
What do you need your savings to do?
There is no single “best” retirement product. The right direction depends on the job you need your money to perform.
Protect what you have built

Keep room for growth
Explore options that may credit interest without directly investing your principal in the stock market.

What should I review before considering an annuity?
Review surrender charges, fees, withdrawal provisions, crediting terms, guarantees, tax considerations, and the financial strength of the issuing insurer.
