An annuity is a simple retirement income option that provides guaranteed income with no market exposure.
How does it work?
In exchange for a single lump sum investment an insurance company will pay you income for the rest of your life or a chosen period of time. This income payment will include the return of principal investment as well as interest.
There are three types of annuities:
Single Life Annuity
This type of annuity provides guaranteed income for a lifetime of one individual regardless of market conditions or interest rate fluctuations.
Joint Life Annuity
This type of annuity, also referred to as Last Survivor Annuity, provides guaranteed income for the lives of two people regardless of market conditions or interest rate fluctuations. When the first person dies the income is paid to the surviving individual.
Annuity Certain
This annuity provides guaranteed income for a predetermined period of time or until you reach a certain age.
