Deferred Annuities information for Retirement from MetLife

deferred annuity is a type of accumulation vehicle that allows you to save for later in life.  With a deferred annuity, you have the option to convert your annuity balance to an income stream which can generate income for the rest of your life. Deferred annuities allow your money to grow tax-deferred and are subject to early withdrawal penalties and ordinary income taxes.*

They can be fixed or variable. If you want fixed income payments, consider a fixed annuity. If you’re prepared to receive variable income payment amounts, based on market fluctuation, then a variable annuity may be the right one for you.

Variable annuities are offered by prospectus only, which is available from your registered Representative.

This and other information is available in the prospectus, which you should read carefully before investing. Product availability and features may vary by state. All product guarantees are based on the claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company.

The amounts allocated to the variable investment options of your account balance are subject to market fluctuations so that, when withdrawn or annuitized, they may be worth more or less than their original value.
