Life insurance provides protection for your loved ones if you pass away before your financial obligations are met, while annuities protect against outliving your assets. An annuity is a long-term investment, and through annuitization, your contributions are converted into recurring payments that can last the full duration of your life.
Whether you have immediate or longer-term needs, you can pick the type of annuity for your situation:
- Immediate: This annuity is purchased with a lump-sum, and guaranteed income starts nearly immediately. Your investment converts into an assured stream of income that is immutable once payments begin.
- Fixed: With this annuity, the principal investment and earnings are both guaranteed and fixed payments are made for the term of the contract.
- Fixed Indexed: This annuity produces returns on contributions based on a particular equity-based index, such as the S&P 500.
