June is Annuity Awareness Month — and a great time to revisit the power of compounding.

Think it's too late for compounding to make a difference? Think again.

Compounding means your money earns returns not just on your original investment, but also on the growth you've already accumulated. Even if you're in your 50s or 60s, time can still work in your favor.

Many people at this stage can contribute more consistently than earlier in their careers. A shorter time horizon can still support meaningful progress when contributions stay steady and earnings are reinvested.

Compounding helps build wealth over time. Certain annuities may help support asset preservation and retirement income goals. Let's talk about how these fit into your retirement strategy.

*Investments are subject to market risk including possible loss of principal.
