  • Global Atlantic Featured in Barron’s 100 Best Annuities Guide in Four Categories

    August 23, 2024 by Global Atlantic Financial Group

    HARTFORD, Conn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Global Atlantic Financial Group (“Global Atlantic”), a leading insurance company meeting the retirement and life insurance needs of individuals and institutions, announced its inclusion in Barron’s annual guide to the 100 Best Annuities, marking the firm’s third consecutive appearance on this list. Annuities issued by Global Atlantic subsidiary Forethought Life Insurance Company were recognized in the following categories: Deferred-Income Annuities; Fixed-Indexed Annuity Income Guarantees; Registered Index-Linked Annuities (RILA); and Fixed-Indexed Annuities.

    “We are honored to be included in Barron’s annual guide to the top annuities for the third straight year. This recognition reflects our commitment to providing innovative and effective retirement solutions that make a difference in people’s lives,” said Rob Arena, Co-President of Global Atlantic. “It is also a testament to our firm’s goal of helping provide growth and income-oriented products for Americans around the country.”

    The annuities named provide varying consumer value relative to an individual’s personal goals and demonstrate the firm’s strength in retirement options. They range from providing guaranteed income for life to maximizing an individual’s accumulation potential.

    • ForeCertain Income Annuity
    • ForeIncome II Fixed Index Annuity
    • ForeAccumulation II Advisory Fixed Index Annuity
    • ForeStructured Growth Registered Index-Linked Annuity

    “Our diverse products, highlighted by Barron’s this year, show our dedication to meeting different retirement needs — from helping individuals grow their wealth to providing a reliable lifetime income in retirement,” said Jason Bickler, Global Atlantic’s Chief Distribution Officer.

    Annuities Included on Barron’s Annual Guide
    ForeCertain Income Annuity provides a predictable, guaranteed income for a period of time or for life with no market risk. The firm’s ForeIncome II Fixed Index Annuity is for clients seeking guaranteed income now-or later- with more protection, steady growth potential, and zero risk from market losses. The ForeAccumulation II Advisory Fixed Index Annuity allows for steady growth potential with zero risk from market losses. Lastly, the ForeStructured Growth Registered Index-Linked Annuity may be for clients to consider who are seeking a product that provides an element of risk protection with greater upside potential than what is currently provided through traditional fixed income options. As it pertains to all of these annuities, each individual’s situation is unique to their goals and circumstances. Individuals are encouraged to work with their financial professional to find solutions that work best for their retirement needs.

    Barron’s Methodology: To help frame the various annuity categories, how they work, and the best offers these days, Barron’s tapped Cannex, an independent research firm specializing in retirement products, as well as company data to compile a list of 100 competitive contracts based on common investor objectives and a set of assumptions, such as an investor’s age and investment size. Because many annuities are designed to last for the long term, only contracts from companies with an AM Best financial-strength rating of A- or above were considered. Each investor’s situation is unique to their goals and circumstances. Each purchaser’s best interests should be considered prior to the purchase of any annuity.

As with all matters of a tax or legal nature, you should consult a tax or legal counsel for advice.

    Taxable distributions (including certain deemed distributions) are subject to ordinary income taxes, and if made prior to age 59½, may also be subject to a 10% federal income tax penalty.

Payments from IRAs are taxable in accordance with the normal rules surrounding taxation of payments from an IRA. Early surrender charges may also apply. Withdrawals will reduce the death benefit and any optional guaranteed amounts in an amount more than the actual withdrawal.

    If you are investing in a registered index-linked annuity through a tax-advantaged retirement plan such as an IRA, you will receive no additional tax advantage from a (RILA). Under these circumstances, you should only consider buying a (RILA) if it makes sense because of the annuity’s other features.

    Products, features, and marketing materials are subject to state and firm availability and variations. Read the Contract for complete details.
