What are fixed annuities?
An annuity, similar to life insurance, is an agreement between a person and a financial organization. The owner of the annuity pays a premium that will, at a predetermined date, be returned back to the individual with the additional value of the investment. In addition, a fixed annuity comes with an interest rate that is “fixed” (for a certain period of time) when the investment is agreed upon. This gives the owner an option that is safe and predictable.
Advantages of fixed annuities
Included below are some of the great benefits of fixed annuities:
- Predictability – As an investor, you’re guaranteed* to get back what you have invested.
- Tax deferral – Fixed annuities are tax-deferred, which means this money will not be taxed until you withdraw your investment.
- Shelter from creditors – In most cases, creditors cannot touch annuity investments. Annuities are safe from probate** proceedings.
