Variable Annuities– Investment firms offer a wide variety of variable annuities and investors should be aware that they are not all the same. Investors should make certain that they understand the risks associated with the particular variable annuity they are considering.

The Securities and Exchange Commission offers this advice about variable annuities:

“Remember:  Variable annuities are designed to be long-term investments, to meet retirement and other long-range goals. Variable annuities are not suitable for meeting short-term goals because substantial taxes and insurance company charges may apply if you withdraw your money early. Variable annuities also involve investment risks, just as mutual funds do.”
