Secure Your Retirement with Annuities from Hodges Insurance Agency

At Hodges Insurance Agency in Lynchburg, Virginia, we’ve been helping families and individuals protect what matters most for over 40 years. While many know us for life, health, and Medicare solutions, our annuities offerings provide a powerful way to build and secure retirement income.

What Are Annuities?

An annuity is a contract between you and an insurance company. You make one or more payments (a lump sum or series of contributions), and in return, the company promises to make periodic payments to you—either immediately or at a future date.

Think of an annuity as a personal pension. It shifts longevity risk to the insurance company, helping ensure you don’t outlive your savings.

Why Consider Annuities?

Here are some key benefits that make annuities attractive for retirement planning:

• Guaranteed Lifetime Income: Many annuities offer payments that continue for your entire life, providing peace of mind regardless of market conditions or how long you live.
• Tax-Deferred Growth: Earnings grow tax-deferred until you withdraw them, potentially allowing your money to compound more effectively.
• Protection from Market Volatility: Fixed and fixed-indexed annuities can shield your principal and provide predictable returns.
• Flexibility: Options range from immediate income to deferred growth, with various riders for inflation protection, spousal benefits, or long-term care.
• IRA & 401(k) Rollovers: Annuities work well as part of retirement rollovers, helping transition workplace savings into a reliable income stream.

Types of Annuities We Offer

Hodges Insurance Agency partners with top carriers to provide a range of annuity solutions tailored to your needs:

• Fixed Annuities: Offer a guaranteed interest rate and predictable payments. Ideal for conservative investors seeking stability.
• Variable Annuities: Allow your money to be invested in sub-accounts (similar to mutual funds) for potential growth, with optional guarantees.
• Fixed-Indexed Annuities: Combine principal protection with interest linked to market indexes (like the S&P 500), offering upside potential with downside protection.
• Immediate Annuities: Convert a lump sum into income payments right away—great for those already in or near retirement.
• Deferred Annuities: Build value over time before starting income payments.

Our experienced team will explain the differences and help match the right type to your retirement goals, risk tolerance, and timeline.

Who Can Benefit from Annuities?

Annuities are particularly valuable for:

• Pre-retirees looking to create a reliable income floor alongside Social Security and other savings.
• Retirees concerned about market downturns or longevity risk.
• Individuals rolling over 401(k)s or IRAs who want structured, guaranteed income.
• Those seeking tax-efficient growth strategies.
