RETIREMENT PLANNING 101
Annuities
An annuity allows an owner to contribute money (premiums) to an insurance company that may earn interest and expands on a tax-deferred basis with the agreement that the insurance company will then render a series of payments back to the customer at standard intervals.
People usually purchase annuities to provide or supplement retirement income they will receive from Social Security, pension benefits, investments and other sources. You can alter your annuity into a stream of income that can then be paid over a fixed period or for your lifetime. You can receive withdrawals of varying amounts when you need the income.
Types of Annuities
There are two different types of annuities:
IMMEDIATE:
Provides income payments that normally begin within a year after the premium is paid.
DEFERRED:
Yields income payments that begin later, often after many years. Deferred annuities are fashioned for long-term savings purposes.
-
Accessible to purchase using a single lump sum, or with flexible premiums over time.
-
When it comes time to take funds from your deferred annuity, you will have many options available to meet your needs.
-
Guarantees are based on the claims-paying ability of the issuing company.
