Tim Hartle is an independent insurance professional licensed to sell annuity and life insurance products. Annuity and insurance products are not deposits, are not FDIC or NCUA insured, are not guaranteed by a bank or financial institution, and are subject to investment risk including possible loss of principal in variable products. Fixed and fixed-indexed annuities guarantee principal and a minimum interest rate, subject to the claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company. Guarantees are not backed by the federal government. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
