Retirement Income Strategies Built for Military Families
Military service provides a strong foundation — but most veterans need more than a military pension or TSP to fund a full retirement. PAG Advisory Group helps bridge that gap with guaranteed income strategies.
PAG Advisory Group is based in Columbia, South Carolina — near Fort Jackson — and serves veterans and military families throughout South Carolina. William A. Garland Jr. understands the unique financial landscape of military retirement, including the Blended Retirement System (BRS), Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) rollovers, VA benefits, and the importance of protecting money earned through years of service.
William will design a strategy that complements your military pension, maximizes your TSP, and creates additional guaranteed income — so your retirement is as secure as your service deserved.

How Annuities Benefit South Carolina Veterans
Supplement Military Pension Income
Even with a military pension, many veterans face income gaps in retirement. A fixed or income annuity can fill that gap with a guaranteed monthly payment — no market risk, no uncertainty.
TSP Rollover Strategies
Rolling your Thrift Savings Plan into a fixed indexed annuity can protect your savings from market losses, provide higher growth potential, and offer more flexible death benefit options than the TSP alone.
Blended Retirement System Planning
If you opted into the Blended Retirement System (BRS), we help you maximize your government match, TSP allocation, and supplemental retirement income using annuities.
Transition Assistance
Transitioning from active duty? An annuity can provide a predictable income bridge while you establish your civilian career and financial plan — no market volatility risk.
Survivor Benefit Planning
Protect your spouse with annuity options that include joint lifetime income or return-of-premium death benefits — ensuring your family is financially secure if something happens to you.
Tax-Efficient Retirement Income
Annuities grow tax-deferred, helping veterans reduce their taxable income in retirement and keep more of their military pension and Social Security benefits.

Frequently Asked Questions — Annuities for Veterans
Can veterans use annuities to supplement a military pension?
Yes. Many South Carolina veterans use fixed or indexed annuities to supplement their military pension with additional guaranteed income. This provides extra financial security without exposing savings to stock market risk.
Can I roll over my TSP into an annuity?
Yes. Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) funds can be rolled over into a fixed or fixed indexed annuity after separation from service. This can provide higher guaranteed income, more flexibility, and better death benefit options than the TSP’s built-in annuity program. William Garland will guide you through a tax-free rollover process.
Are annuities a good option for transitioning service members?
Annuities can be an excellent financial tool for transitioning service members who want to ensure stability during the adjustment from military to civilian life. A fixed annuity provides safe, predictable returns while you establish your post-service financial plan.
Does PAG Advisory Group work with Fort Jackson families?
Yes. PAG Advisory Group is based in Columbia, South Carolina — just minutes from Fort Jackson — and has extensive experience serving active duty military, veterans, and their families throughout South Carolina.
Do annuities protect against market loss?
Yes. Fixed and fixed indexed annuities offer full principal protection. Your savings can never decrease due to stock market performance, making them ideal for veterans who cannot afford to lose the money they worked hard to earn and save.
