"Fairway Financial offers insurance products and services. We do not provide investment, tax or legal advice. Life insurance typically requires medical and often financial underwriting to qualify. Death benefits are tax free to a properly named beneficiary. Life insurance and annuities involve fees and charges including possible surrender penalties. LTC riders on insurance products are not a replacement for long term care insurance. Optional riders often require an additional annual fee. Annuity withdrawals are taxed as ordinary income and may incur an additional 10% IRS penalty before age 59-1/2. Insurance product guarantees are backed by the financial strength and claims-paying ability of the issuing company."
