Lifetime Income

Lasting Retirement Income

Navigating Successful Retirement Outcomes

The ongoing shift from defined benefit (DB) pensions plans to defined contribution (DC) plans requires employees to take on more of the responsibility to ensure their savings last throughout retirement, regardless of market conditions. Help your employees make their retirement savings last by offering them a fixed “paycheck” for life with a guaranteed lifetime income option.
