Women, money & relationships
Significant research has been conducted on women and their finances. We expanded on this by researching women and their money through the lens of their relationship status. This research focuses on how women manage their finances and, more specifically, how changes in women's relationships throughout their lives has a substantial impact on their relationship with money. It also provides insights on how working with a financial professional may ultimately lead to healthier financial behaviors and outcomes.
Taking the reins
While women are more likely than ever to be managing their own financial lives, they face a unique set of challenges. But by getting engaged and educated, they can build confidence and competence—and ultimately create stronger, more secure futures.

Important information

With regard to variable annuities, clients should carefully consider their investment objectives and the charges, risks and expenses, as stipulated in the prospectus, before investing. For a prospectus containing this and other information, a financial professional can call the Sales Desk at (888) 517-9900. Please have clients read it carefully before investing or sending money.
A variable annuity is a long-term financial product designed for retirement purposes. In essence, annuities are contractual agreements in which payment(s) are made to an insurance company, which agrees to pay out an income or a lump-sum amount at a later date. There are fees and charges associated with a variable annuity contract, which include, but are not limited to, operations charges, sales and withdrawal charges, administrative fees and additional charges for optional benefits. Withdrawals are subject to ordinary income tax treatment and, if taken prior to age 59½, may be subject to an additional 10% federal income tax penalty. Variable annuities are subject to investment risks, including the possible loss of principal invested.
Guarantees are based on the claims-paying ability of the issuing life insurance company.
If clients are purchasing an annuity contract to fund an IRA or employer-sponsored retirement plan, they should understand that such annuities do not provide tax deferral benefits beyond those already provided by the Internal Revenue Code.
