Unavoidable events happen. The Annuity Trust provides you with the ability to use a loan to assist you with meeting those financial needs, but don’t let a loan, for a short-term need, significantly reduce your retirement savings you work so hard to build. These examples show Jeff’s Annuity account balance after 20 years if he borrows $50,000 and pays back the loan or does not pay back the loan.

PAYING BACK THE LOAN INCREASES JEFF’S ANNUITY BALANCE BY: $158,455 LOAN NOT PAID BACK $165,510 LOAN PAID BACK $323,965

• Jeff may owe federal income taxes • Jeff may be subject to an additional 10% • Restores account balance early withdrawal tax • Interest paid on the loan goes into • Jeff is not eligible for a second loan Jeff’s Annuity account unless he pays off the defaulted loan • After the loan is paid off, Jeff • Interest continues to accrue is eligible to take another loan if needed until the loan is paid in full • Jeff also elected to pay back his loan through automatic debit from his bank account!

This informational is for educational purposes only. This material is not intended as advice or recommendation about investing or managing your retirement savings. Assumptions used in the examples: $100,000 starting Annuity account balance; loan amount of $50,000; the loan is paid back over 5 years; loan interest is repaid at a 4% annual interest rate; the Annuity account grows at a 6% annual interest rate; the accounts grow for 20 years; and no additional contributions are made to the Annuity account.
