Portfolio Optimization: One Step Diversification For Your Variable Annuity

Consider a Pacific Life Variable Annuity

A variable annuity is a long-term contract between you and an insurance company that helps you grow, protect, and manage retirement savings in a tax-advantaged way.

 

A Variable Annuity Can Help You:

  • Grow retirement savings faster through the power of tax deferral.

  • Manage your investment strategy by transferring among a diverse selection of investment options free of tax consequences.

  • Convert your assets to guaranteed, lifetime retirement income.

  • Leave a financial legacy through a guaranteed death benefit.

 

Our variable annuities also offer features such as asset allocation and optional principal protection. Optional benefits are available for an additional cost.

Guarantees, including optional benefits, are subject to the issuing company’s claims-paying ability and financial strength and do not protect the value of the variable investment options, which are subject to market risk. The value of the variable investment options will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Annuity withdrawals and other distributions of taxable amounts, including death benefit payouts, will be subject to ordinary income tax. For nonqualified contracts, an additional 3.8% federal tax may apply on net investment income. If withdrawals and other distributions are taken prior to age 59½, an additional 10% federal tax may apply. A withdrawal charge also may apply. Withdrawals will reduce the contract value and the value of the death benefits, and also may reduce the value of any optional benefits. Under current law, a nonqualified annuity that is owned by an individual is generally entitled to tax deferral.

Investors should carefully consider a variable annuity's risks, charges, limitations, and expenses, as well as the risks, charges, expenses, and investment goals of the underlying investment options. This and other information about Pacific Life are provided in the product and underlying fund prospectuses. These prospectuses should be read carefully before investing.

Under current law, a nonqualified annuity that is owned by an individual is generally entitled to tax deferral. IRAs and qualified plans—such as 401(k)s and 403(b)s—are already tax deferred. Therefore, a deferred annuity should be used only to fund an IRA or qualified plan to benefit from the annuity’s features other than tax deferral. These include lifetime income, death benefit options, and the ability to transfer among investment options without sales or withdrawal charges.
