What is an Annuity?Annuities are essentially insurance contracts. You pay a set amount of money today, or over time, in exchange for a lump-sum payment or stream of income in the future.
How an Annuity Works Annuities are designed to provide a steady stream of income that you CANNOT outlive for people during their retirement years and to alleviate the fears of outliving their assets. The 3 main components for an Annuity

The payout you received from fixed-index annuities is tied to a market index — such as the S&P 500 or Nasdaq. Fixed-index annuities also protect you against losing any of your principal if the index declines. This makes a fixed-index annuity safer than investing directly into an index fund. To pay for this protection, fixed-index annuities set limits on both your gains and your losses. An Immediate Annuity i An insurance policy which, in exchange for a sum of money, guarantees that the issuer will make a series of payments. These payments may be either level or increasing periodic payments for a fixed term of years or until the ending of a life or two lives, or even whichever is longer. A Deferred Annuity A contract that is chiefly a vehicle for accumulating savings with a view to eventually distribute them either in the manner of an immediate annuity or as a lump-sum payment. Single premium immediate annuity (SPIA) A SPIA allows you to make a single lump-sum payment and begin collecting a steady income stream in less than 12 months. It’s also called an immediate annuity or income annuity. They account for only about 10% of annuities sold each year and are preferred by people close to retirement age. Flexible premium annuity A flexible premium annuity is one that you purchase through a series of premium payments. They can only be deferred annuities — allowing you to make payments over a long period of time with the promise of a payout in the future. Some may allow you flexibility to contribute without a schedule or minimum number of routine payments. |
