What is an annuity?

In exchange for a single lump sum investment, an insurer makes guaranteed regular income payments to an investor that contain both interest and a return of principal. Annuity payments can continue for the lifetime(s) of one or two people, or for a chosen period of time.

Annuities can be ideal for investors who:
  • Want the highest guaranteed income amount possible from their investment
  • Wish to help cover essential expenses in retirement
  • Are concerned about outliving their savings
  • Wish to minimize tax on their investment income
  • Value security and peace of mind while reducing the need for ongoing investment decisions
  • Want to subsidize early retirement income
  • Need income until pension and government benefits become available
  • Wish to fund a child's ongoing educational costs
