Mutual Funds

Mutual funds are investment vehicles that allow you to diversify your investments and pool your money together with other investors to purchase a collection of stocks, bonds, or other securities.   The consultants at Northwest General Insurance and Financial Services have the expertise and technology resources needed to research and review investment portfolios before making investment decisions.

Note:  Diversification does not guarantee a profit, or protect against a loss in a declining marketing.  It is a method used to help manage investment risk.

Annuities

An annuity is an insurance product (investment contract with an insurer) designed to pay you an income over a period of time, of which payments can be deferred or immediate.  They can help you grow your savings, inheritance, and retirement portfolio. In fact, they often provide you with retirement income that you cannot outlive.

Annuities are complex with an array of product choices, such as fixed, variable or indexed. We recommend you contact one of our experienced agents to discuss possible benefits, risks, and costs.

Note:  Guarantees are backed by the claims-paying ability of the issuing company.

College Funding Plans

College funding plans help families set aside money, usually tax free for future college costs.  These plans include 529 Plans, Custodial Accounts, Coveredell Education Savings accounts and others, all having unique features and advantages. With some plans, anyone can contribute to the plan, up to a certain amount without being taxed. With some plans, withdrawals are federally tax-free and penalty-free as long as they are used for educational purposes or for the named beneficiary.

We recommend you contact us for more information and to discuss possible benefits, risks, and costs, as College funding plans can be complex.
