0 POINTSContact Meview profileHead LibrarianInsuranceLibrary.com, South DakotaThe single premium immediate annuity is the policy from which every other annuity begins. This policy pays a lifetime steam of income in exchange for a lump sum of money. The first alteration was the deferred annuity where the payments did not start within a year but were deferred until later; these usually allow you to contribute more to the annuity. Then there is the issue of where the money in the annuity is invested. Some are in company funds, some are in separate accounts and some are “hand’s-on” investments where the annuitant directs the investments. There are variations of these basic plans that appeal to some people and meet specific needs.Answered on August 21, 2014+01+1 this answer 0flag this answerview more answers by Head Librarian

One you plunk down your cash, and it immediately begins paying out your monthly payments, These are called "immediate annuities". The other type takes your cash, and holds it, or "defers" the payments for a number of years before paying those monthly payouts. These are called "deferred annuities". There are several different types of these, but again very simply, there are "fixed annuities", that pay a set interest rate, there are "indexed annuities", that pay interest rates that are based on the movements of a market, like the S&P 500, or the Dow Jones. There are also "variable annuities", that pay according to how well the investments within the annuity did (or didn't) do. That is a basic look at the types of annuities, I hope that helped. Please feel free to drop me a line if you'd like more details, ok? Thanks for asking!Answered on August 22, 2014flag this answer
