ANNUITIES

Single Premium Income Annuity (SPIA)

A SPIA is a contract with an insurance company where you give them a lump sum of money, and the insurance company pays you a set amount every month for the rest of your life. This ensures you’ll never run out of money, and can be a useful part of a retirement plan for just about everyone.

Deferred Income Annuity (DIA)

A deferred income annuity sometimes referred to as a longevity annuity is a contract between you and an insurance company. You give up a lump-sum payment to the insurance company in exchange for a guaranteed lifetime income that begins sometime at a future date, up to 40 years later in some cases.

Fixed Annuity

A Fixed Annuity is one that is based on safe, no risk investments. Therefore, the insurance company can declare a set or “fixed” interest rate and guarantee that rate for a specified period of time. The specified period may be for one year at a time or for a certain number of years, such as 5 years, 7 years or 10 years.

Fixed-Indexed Annuity (FIA)

A Fixed-Indexed Annuity is a type of fixed annuity. What makes this type of fixed annuity different is how the gains are credited. Instead of crediting a company-declared interest rate of say 2, 3 or 4 percent, the gains are linked or indexed directly to the performance of a stock market index, such as the Standard & Poor’s 500. Like other fixed annuities, there is a 100% guarantee of principal.

Variable Annuity (VA)

A variable annuity is a type of annuity contract that allows for the accumulation of capital on a tax-deferred basis. As opposed to a fixed annuity that offers a guaranteed interest rate and a minimum payment at annuitization, variable annuities offer investors the opportunity to generate higher rates of returns by investing in equity and bond subaccounts. If a variable annuity is annuitized for income, the income payments can vary based on the performance of the subaccounts.
