For 401(k), IRA & Old Annuity Holders

Tired of your 401(k) riding the market rollercoaster?

Every time the market drops, your retirement balance drops with it. You can move some โ€” or all โ€” of it into a contract that can't lose money and locks in 5.75% guaranteed for 5 years. The IRS lets you do it tax-free. Most people never get told this option exists.

โฑ๏ธ Rates change weekly โ€” today's 5.75% may not be there next month.

5.75%

Guaranteed for 5 years. Zero market risk.

A-rated insurance carrier, multi-year guaranteed annuity (MYGA). Compare to the 1โ€“2% sitting in most legacy contracts and the wild swings of an S&P-indexed 401(k).

If any of this sounds like youโ€ฆ

โ€ฆwe should talk. Most people in these situations are losing money every month and don't realize they have a way out.

๐Ÿ˜ฌ "I lost sleep the last time the market dropped."

If you're within 10 years of retirement, a single bad year can wipe out a decade of growth. There's no time to recover.

๐Ÿ˜ด "My old annuity has been paying me 2% for years."

Today's top contracts pay 5.75% guaranteed. Every year you stay in a stale contract is real income walking out the door.

๐Ÿงพ "I want to move it but I'm scared of the tax hit."

A 1035 exchange (annuity to annuity) or direct rollover (401k/IRA to annuity) is 100% tax-free. The IRS literally wrote a rule for this.

  • Life insurance โ†’ Annuity
  • Life insurance โ†’ Life insurance
  • Life insurance โ†’ Long-term care (hybrid)

  • Roth/Traditional IRA swaps use different rollover rules
  • Can't pull cash "out" during a 1035 without triggering boot (taxable)

FAQ

Will I owe any tax on a 1035 exchange?+
No โ€” that's the whole point. Section 1035 of the IRS code specifically permits a tax-free transfer between qualifying contracts. You don't take constructive receipt of funds, so gains stay deferred.
Are there surrender charges?+
Depends on your current contract. If you're past the surrender period, no. If you're inside it, we'll calculate whether the new rate beats the charge (often it does within 18โ€“24 months).
What about my 401(k) or IRA?+
A 401(k) or IRA can be directly rolled into a qualified annuity without triggering tax. Different section of the code, same practical outcome. Common at retirement to convert a lump sum into guaranteed lifetime income.
How long does it take?+
Typically 2โ€“6 weeks depending on your existing carrier's processing speed. Funds transfer carrier-to-carrier โ€” you never touch them.
