About Providence Annuities

Together the senior partners of Providence Annuities bring over 125 years of experience. Providence Annuities was created to address the risk concerns that many Americans have. We exist to give people alternatives that help to manage their risk and can help to protect their hard-earned money.

We work with individuals who value professional representation and a local presence. Some people who work with us inquire with national firms and end up working over a toll-free number and get a new operator every time they call. Our experience shows us that this strategy does not always work best when needing customer service and accountability.

We hope that you will take the opportunity to give us a call or stop by our office. See how our years of experience and local service, with high levels of accountability, may help you enjoy smoother sailing in your pre-retirement and retirement years.

How We are Different

Will Rodgers was once quoted as saying, “I am not so much concerned about the return on my money, as I am the return of my money.” This division of Providence Partners was designed specifically to help preserve people’s hard-earned money. Many of our clients and customers have experienced big losses historically. We work hard to address their concerns with regard to investment risk.

We work with people to show them how we can minimize their risk of losing their money and minimize the sleepless nights they have knowing their money is protected. Our goal is to give smart money alternatives that offer more return than traditional products like CD’s and money market accounts.

We only work with investment-grade rated insurance carriers to help make sure your money is protected from fluctuations and from the risk of a weak company that may not be strong financially. We shop the market for you to bring you a competitive rate from an insurance company with at least an A- rating, or higher by A. M. Best Company. A. M. Best Company rates the overall financial condition of a company using a scale of A++ (superior to F in liquidation). We will show you alternatives that may fit your objectives and we will educate you about the process. If you decide you would like to move forward, we will help you make an educated choice and make sure the process goes smoothly.

If you ever have questions, you are welcome to call anyone on our team or stop by our local office to visit with a caring professional who genuinely cares about your financial well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an annuity?
Annuities are a contract issued by an insurance company. They can earn and pay interest. This interest can be paid over a predetermined period, or it can be deferred until a later time. If you defer your interest income, the taxes are deferred until the interest is paid out.
Are annuities FDIC insured?
No, they are backed by the claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company.
Annuities are guaranteed by an insurance company, but do they have any guaranty by a government body?
Yes, all annuities issued in Alabama are covered up to $250,000 maximum by the Alabama Life and Disability Insurance Guaranty Association if your insurance company became insolvent
Are annuities a safe place for my money?
Annuities from a trusted source are a very low-risk investment.. The annuities at ProvidenceAnnuities.com all offer a guarantee of the return of your contribution.
Can I put IRA money in an annuity?
Yes, even though IRA proceeds grow tax deferred, and annuity interest grows tax deferred, some people choose to put an IRA in an annuity to get a guaranteed interest rate or a guarantee on their principle.
Is there a limit to what I can contribute to an annuity?
No, there is no limit on what you can put in an annuity. Some carriers have a limit to how much they will allow. When this happens, most people diversify by making contributions with more than one company.
Do I have to take my money in a lump sum, or can I take it out monthly or annually?
You do not have to take your money out in a lump sum. You may take it out when needed. You may take it out monthly, quarterly, annually, or only as needed. You may leave it all to a beneficiary.
Do I have required minimum distributions (RMD’s) from an annuity?
If you have invested IRA money in an annuity, it will have the same RMD requirements as an IRA. If you contribute non-qualified money–meaning non-IRA money—there are no required minimum distributions.
Is my money committed if I contribute to an annuity?
If you make a withdrawal prior to age 59 ½, you may be subject to a 10% IRS penalty, and any gains will be taxable in the tax year distributed.

Annuities are long-term investment products that may offer lifetime options for guaranteed income (available for an additional charge), and death benefit protection. To determine if an annuity is right for you, consider that there are costs associated such as surrender fees, mortality and expenses and administrative fees. 

All guarantees, including those for optional features, are subject to the claims-paying ability of the issuer. Limitations and conditions apply.
