Stocks and Bonds

When you invest in individual stocks, you become a part owner of the business, with all the ups and downs. You can vote at shareholder meetings and receive profits allocated to owners. You may get very high returns, but you may also lose money.

Bonds, on the other hand, are an agreement to loan money to a company or government in return for regular payments. While stocks fluctuate, bonds are often less risky. But with either, you’re counting on that one entity, and that can be risky.

 

Annuities

Annuities are contracts with an insurance company that can help protect you against the risk of outliving your assets. Annuities provide future income in return for your contributions, and are offered with options based on investment style and payout options. Those options include Fixed Annuities, Variable Annuities, Indexed Annuities and Single Premium Annuities.

 

IRA

Understanding which Individual Retirement Account (IRA) is best for you is an important first step to saving for retirement while recognizing great tax benefits. An IRA allows you to save for retirement with tax-free growth or on a tax deferred basis.

 

Managed Accounts

Managed account portfolios come in many different structures, and are customized to meet the specific investment objectives with direct access to investment managers. Some portfolios focus on tax managed investing and others on growth investing with less regard for tax consequences. Some portfolios are more focused on generating income and others on growth.

 

Mutual Fund

Mutual funds are a good option for members who want to diversify and rely on professional money management to seek their savings goals. With mutual funds investors pool their money into a managed portfolio of securities, allowing access to professional fund managers. These mutual fund managers decide the best time to buy and sell providing you the expertise of investment specialists. Funds vary from aggressive to conservation, covering the full threshold in between.
