The Principal® Pivot Series Variable Annuity offers your clients another tax-deferred savings option. They’ll benefit from compounding interest on both their premium(s) and any interest earned. And there are no IRS contribution limits for nonqualified assets—so they don’t have to restrict their retirement savings goals.
How your clients' investment could benefit from tax deferral:
This chart shows a $100,000 investment with and without tax deferral.
Initial investment
Each investment started with a $100,000 investment compounding 10% per year for 20 years.
Value of taxable investment
The value of the investment that isn't tax-deferred only grows to $232,998 at the end of 20 years because taxes were paid on earnings annually at a tax rate of 28%.
Value of tax-deferred investment
After tax
The value of the tax-deferred investment grows to $320,714 at the end of 20 years. Since taxes aren't paid on any potential earnings, the money compounds faster than if it was taxed. Even after taxes, the accumulated value would be $258,914.

A client could also elect to take partial distributions from their annuity rather than a lump sum distribution. This allows the remaining accumulated value to continue to grow tax deferred, and the client doesn’t have to pay taxes all at once. This approach gives you flexibility in managing your client’s taxes.
