What is an Annuity

Annuities have been around for a long time, but for most investors, they do not know what an annuity is.

So, let’s start with the basics. An annuity is a contract between you and an insurance company that usually covers principal protection, lifetime income or legacy planning. There are three types of basic annuities. A fixed, a variable and an indexed annuity.

It pays out a fixed stream of payments to you either immediately or in the future and is most often used as an income stream for retirees. You can buy an annuity by either making a single payment or a series of payments. Before deciding if an annuity makes sense for you, there is a lot more information about annuities to consider and learn about.
