Being close to or in retirement may not be the time to take risks with your retirement savings, but that doesn't mean you have to sacrifice accumulation for safety.

Key features
  • Tax-deferred growth based on eight different crediting accounts
  • Safety of principal
  • Income you can't outlive

The Foundations Annuity, a fixed index annuity issued by Security Benefit Life Insurance Company, can help increase your retirement savings without investing in the stock market. You can receive interest credits based on a portion of the increase of a financial market index, but are guaranteed never to lose money due to market loss.
