In-plan guarantees may be a solution for your plan

In-plan guarantees are investment options that can help employers and employees by supporting better experiences and greater retirement certainty, all within an employer sponsored retirement plan. We know that one size doesn’t fit all, and that’s why we offer two types of protection: principal protection and guaranteed lifetime income.

Principal protection
