What’s an Annuity Anyway?
Think of it as your personal pension plan. You contribute a portion of your savings to an insurance company, and in return, they provide a reliable, guaranteed paycheck for life.
How Annuities Work
Every annuity follows the same foundation—even though the details vary by product. Trace the journey from your initial contribution to the moment you receive dependable income.
Pay a lump sum or make scheduled contributions. The insurer issues the contract and locks in your guarantees.
Your balance accumulates according to the annuity type—fixed interest, market-linked credits, or investment subaccounts.
Choose when to start payments. Income can begin immediately or in the future, and last for a set period or lifetime.
