The daily performance of the stock market is affected by many factors that can cause dramatic highs and lows.
When investing in the stock market, it can be very exciting to watch your money dramatically increase, but very stressful to watch it quickly be cut in half. If you are looking for a way to grow your money without the dramatic highs and lows of the stock market, consider purchasing a fixed annuity.

You can lose sleep worrying about volatile stock moves with the S&P 500, or you can enjoy the steady growth of a GBU Preferred 8 Annuity, a reliable income generator. It’s your money, you choose.
