Fixed income annuities through
Vanguard Annuity Access
1
Dependable income for life? It's not
too good to be true. Not when you
have an income annuityan annuity
designed to provide regular, reliable,
guaranteed payments.
With an income annuity, you make a
onetime investment in exchange for
predictable income payments that
can continue as long as you live.*
All you have to do is decide when
you want the payments to start and
how long you want them to last.
You can start payments:
As early as 30 days from the
time you purchase the annuity.
As late as your 85th birthday.
On any other date between 30
days of purchase and when you
turn 85.
And your payments can last for:
Your lifetime.
Your lifetime and that of your
spouse or partner.
A specific number of years
you choose.

Key considerations
An income annuity might be
appropriate if you:
Want regular income you
can't outlive.
Need more income than you
expect to receive or may be
currently receiving in retirement.
Have other money available for
investing, or for emergencies or
unanticipated purchases.
Want funds on hand to help pay
expenses, such as everyday bills
or insurance premiums.
But weigh your decision
more carefully if you:
Feel confident in your ability to
manage your savings and create
a successful withdrawal strategy
on your own.
Would prefer to retain control of
your assets.
May not have enough other
savings left to cover financial
emergencies.
With fewer employers offering
pensions, more investors count on
their personal savings to support
them throughout retirement. An
income annuity can help ensure
your savings meet that challenge.
An income annuity can also
complement other income
sources, such as Social Security,
or a traditional pension, if you're
fortunate enough to receive one.
In exchange for your premium
payment, an insurance company
will guarantee income payments for
life, or for the period of time you
choosea provision that can make
it easier for you to plan for your
retirement-spending needs and help
reduce the risk that you'll outlive
your assets.

lifelong contract using nonqualified funds with an estimated deposit date of May 12, 2018. The date of birth for
both is April 1, 1953, and all quotes are as of April 12, 2018.

With an income annuity, you
have the flexibility to buy the
level of income that meets your
needs. The longer you wait for
income payments to start, the
less you'll need to invest.
However, in the interim you'll have
to rely on personal savings to
meet your spending needs until
you begin to receive payments from
the income annuity.
The amount you'll need to invest
is based on your age at purchase,
current interest rates, the date you
plan to start your payments, and the
annuity features you elect to add.

See how to guarantee $1,000 in monthly income
The chart below shows the initial investment you need at age 65 to start
generating $1,000 in monthly income at various ages. Choose the age
at which you want payments to begin to see your approximate initial
investment. Being flexible about the start time for your payments may allow
you to invest a smaller amount to get the guaranteed income you want.

Other factors can influence the level
of income you receive from your
annuity, so before you sign on the
dotted line, make sure you:
Consider your life expectancy at
the time of purchase (and that of
your spouse too, if you're thinking
of a joint life annuity). If you feel
there's a good chance you'll live
beyond the average expectancy,
you'll want to be mindful of the
income needed to live comfortably
for that time.
Factor in the income payment
options you may want to include.
For example, some investors
choose to have their income
payments increase with inflation
or be guaranteed for a minimum
period of time.
Invest only a portion of your
savings. You'll need to have
additional funds on hand for
emergencies and other expenses.
Compare the financial strength
of insurance companies. While
all providers available through the
Income Solutions platform are
well known, it's always wise to
check the ratings of those you're
interested in.
Remember that all or a portion
of your payments are taxable.
Consult a tax advisor about your
individual situation.
What else may affect
your annuity decisions
The underwriting risks, financial obligations, and support functions associated with the products are the
responsibility of the issuing insurance company. The issuing insurance company is responsible for its own
financial condition and contractual obligations.

If you're confident that an income
annuity could be the path toward a
more comfortable retirement, then
it's time to size up your choices.
Vanguard Annuity Access makes
that easy by giving you customized,
highly competitive payment quotes
on a real-time basis through the
Income Solutions platform.
There's never a charge for
requesting a quote, and you're under
no obligation once you receive one.
If you purchase an annuity, you'll
pay a onetime transaction fee of
2% that's based on your annuity
purchase amount. The price you're
quoted includes this onetime fee. It
also reflects costs from the issuing
insurance company.
You don't have to do it alone
Remember that throughout all
phases of the decision-making
process, you can call on licensed
Vanguard specialists to give you
unbiased answers and help you
make sensible choices. If you want,
they'll also run quotes and even lend
a hand with completing the forms.
Once you purchase your annuity,
you'll receive service directly from
the insurance company you select
to provide your annuity income.
