Annuities are insurance contracts in which the company promises to pay a stream of income, either now or sometime in the future. Annuities can give clients the stability they are looking for during their retirement years. Annuity benefits include protection of principal from market volatility, fixed interest growth, tax deferral, and a predictable guaranteed lifetime stream of income.
FIXED ANNUITIES
Interest is set by the insurance company for a period of time.
FIXED INDEX ANNUITIES
Interest is credited based on the change of an index, such as the S&P 500. Because money is not actually invested in the index, there is never a risk of loss due to market fluctuations.
IMMEDIATE ANNUITIES
With an immediate annuity or SPIA, the insurance company will begin a guaranteed fixed income payment within a year from the contract issue. The client can choose a guaranteed lifetime payment, or typically a payment as short as 5 years, depending on their personal goals.
