Key Benefits of Western National Fixed Annuities

Safety of Principal
You can enjoy peace of mind knowing a Western National fixed annuity offers protection against a volatile market.

Tax-Deferred Growth
Tax deferral is a key feature that can help your savings accumulate faster than it would in a comparable taxable account.

Guaranteed Interest Rates
When you purchase a Western National fixed annuity, your payments (premiums) are guaranteed to earn an initial interest rate for a certain period of time.

Easy Access to Your Money*
It is difficult to predict the future. You may have an emergency during the annuity accumulation phase (the time when you contribute money to the annuity). That’s why we offer penalty-free withdrawal options—in case you need to access your money.

All guarantees are subject to the claims-paying ability of American General Life Insurance Company. Annuities have limitations.

* Withdrawals of taxable amounts are taxed as ordinary income and, if taken prior to age 59½, your withdrawal may be subject to a 10% federal early withdrawal penalty. Contractual withdrawal charge fees (surrender charges) may also apply.

Tax-qualified contracts such as IRAs, 401(k)s, etc., are tax deferred regardless of whether or not they are funded with an annuity. If you are considering funding a tax-qualified retirement plan with an annuity, you should know that an annuity does not provide any additional tax-deferred treatment of earnings beyond the treatment by the tax-qualified retirement plan itself. However, annuities do provide other features and benefits such as income options.
