Annuities

Guaranteed savings tools for income needs later in life

What are annuities?

An annuity is a contract between you and Catholic United Financial. You commit to paying premium payments to your annuity. We commit to provide you a guaranteed minimum interest rate for the life of the contract and a guaranteed source of future income with certain tax advantages (generally at retirement). Growth is guaranteed and your principle is protected from loss. Different types of annuities are available to best fit your situation. Your local Member Advisor can help you select the right annuities for you.

How do I buy an annuity?

Purchasing an annuity involves an application that asks about the funding sources you will use to make your premium payments. Once accepted, we issue a contract that explains your rights as the owner, how the annuity will provide income once it has matured, and what a beneficiary can expect if you should pass away before the balance is paid out.
