    Predictable income that lasts as long as you live

    MetLife Fixed Income Annuities, like all annuities, are insurance products and are not insured by the FDIC, the NCUSIF or any other government agency, nor are they guaranteed by, or the obligation of, the financial institution that sells them. All MetLife Fixed Income Annuity product guarantees are made solely by the issuing insurance company and are subject to the issuing insurance companys claims-paying ability and financial strength.

    Like most annuity contracts, MetLife Fixed Income Annuities have limitations, exclusions, termination provisions and terms for keeping them in force. All contract guarantees and annuity payout rates are backed by the claims-paying ability and financial strength of the issuing insurance company. They are not backed by the broker/dealer from which this annuity is purchased, by the insurance agency from which this annuity is purchased or any affiliates of those entities and none makes any representations or guarantees regarding the claims-paying ability and financial strength of the issuing insurance company. Similarly, the issuing insurance company does not back the financial strength of the broker/dealer or any of its affiliates. Please contact your financial professional for complete details.

    What is an income annuity?

    An income annuity is a contract between you and MetLife. You allocate a portion of your retirement assets in one single payment and MetLife provides you, or you and another person with stable, predictable income.

    You can use this income to help pay for some of your day-to-day living expenses or supplement other income sources. Plus, you have the flexibility to choose from options that are right for you, based on your needs and circumstances.

    A MetLife Income Annuity can provide you with guaranteed income that is typically higher than income payments from other products, such as bonds, CDs or money markets, based on todays volatility and low interest rates.5 This makes an income annuity an important piece of your overall retirement strategy.

    With an income annuity, you can:

    Continue to receive income each year, even if youve been paid back more than your initial investment.

    Turn a portion of your assets into stable lifetime income you can count on to help cover some of your transportation, grocery, housing and health care costs.

    Experience more certainty in retirement because you get income without market risk. Your income amount will never vary due to market fluctuations.

    When combined with other investments, income annuities can help you live more comfortably throughout

    retirement. Thats because an income annuity provides a certain stability other investments dont.

Please note, there are income payout options that may return any remaining principal to a beneficiary if you should pass away unexpectedly. You must elect your payout option at the time of purchase and it cannot be changed once enacted. CDs are generally FDIC insured up to $250,000. Ask your financial professional for more details.
