Annuities

man smiling while looking at types of annuitiesAnnuities are a type of insurance product that can guarantee a return or a fixed set of periodic payments that may become due. Once an annuity starts disbursing money, you can rest assured that you will continue to receive payments for a set period of time, which could be as long as the rest of your life.

Types Of Annuities

It is important that you select the right type of annuity for you and your situation, which means learning more about the various types of annuities.

Deferred And Immediate Annuities

The first and most important choice that you will have to make is between a deferred or immediate annuity product. A deferred annuity is primarily designed to accumulate value before you elect to start periodic payments. There are several options you can choose from when purchasing a deferred annuity. First, you must pick the basis on which the funds in the annuity grow: fixed, indexed, or variable. Second, you must decide how you want to put money in: a single payment, a fixed set of payments or flexible payments. When you are ready to receive payments you convert the amount you have accumulated into an immediate annuity.

An immediate annuity is exactly what it sounds like. You pay the insurance company a premium and it gives you an income stream in return. Immediate annuities can be purchased directly from insurers or they can be purchased by converting a deferred annuity.

Fixed And Variable Annuities

Perhaps the most common terms you will come across when researching annuities are fixed and variable. A fixed annuity is guaranteed to maintain your investment. You will always maintain at least the amount of money that you yourself have put in, even in times of severe economic downturn. A variable annuity is usually linked to some market index. It can can help you to achieve higher returns, but at the cost of potentially losing some of your investment in the event that the market turns bearish.

Single Premium And Flexible Premium Annuities

A single premium annuity, as its name implies, is funded by a single payment. After you make this first lump sum, you are not permitted to add any more to the annuity. In contrast, a flexible premium annuity will allow you to continue to contribute to the annuity anytime that you like. Flexible premiums are often the more favored option for those who are starting an annuity early in their working careers.

Lifetime And Fixed Period Annuities

Annuities can also be selected based on the time over which you would like to receive disbursements. A lifetime annuity will continue to pay out as long as you live, while a fixed period annuity will disburse for a set period of time such as five or ten years.

There is also a term certain annuity that guarantees a certain period of payments and continues if you are still alive.
