Annuities - The Insurance Pros

About Annuities

An annuity is a financial product that provides guaranteed income for a specified period, often for the lifetime of the annuitant (the person who purchases the annuity). 


It’s typically used as a way to provide steady income during retirement, though annuities can also be used for other purposes, such as saving for a future goal or ensuring that loved ones are financially secure.


Annuities can be a useful tool to mitigate the risk of outliving your savings, as they turn a lump sum of money into a predictable income stream.

Types of Annuities

Fixed Annuity

Immediate Annuity

Variable Annuity

  • With a fixed annuity, the insurance company guarantees a fixed interest rate on the money you invest, and you will receive a guaranteed income stream that is also fixed for a specified period or for life.
  • This is a low-risk option, ideal for those who want predictability in their retirement income. emergencies, and lost baggage. Our policies offer worldwide coverage and 24/7 assistance.

Variable Annuity

Immediate Annuity

Variable Annuity

  • A variable annuity allows you to invest your premium in a variety of mutual funds or other investment options, meaning your income is tied to the performance of the investments.
  • The income you receive will fluctuate based on the performance of the underlying investments, so your payouts can increase if the investments perform well, but they can also decrease if the market performs poorly.

Immediate Annuity

Immediate Annuity

Immediate Annuity

  • An immediate annuity begins paying income immediately after a lump sum is paid to the insurance company. Typically, immediate annuities are used when you have a large sum of money, such as a lump-sum retirement payout or savings, and want a guaranteed income stream that starts right away.

Deferred Annuity

Long Term Care Annuity

Immediate Annuity

  • A deferred annuity begins paying income at a later date, after a deferral period (which can last several years or even decades). During the deferral period, your premium grows at a guaranteed or variable rate.
  • This type of annuity is often used for retirement planning, where you want to accumulate savings over time and then start receiving payments once you retire.

Indexed Annuity

Long Term Care Annuity

Long Term Care Annuity

  • Indexed annuities are a hybrid between fixed and variable annuities. The return on your investment is tied to the performance of a specific stock market index, such as the S&P 500. 
  • The return is capped (so you won’t earn more than a certain amount), and there is often a floor (meaning you won’t lose money if the index performs poorly).

Long Term Care Annuity

Long Term Care Annuity

Long Term Care Annuity

  • A long-term care annuity is a specialized type of annuity designed to help cover the costs of long-term care (LTC), such as nursing home care, in-home care, or assisted living services. 
  • It is often referred to as a LTC hybrid annuity because it combines the features of a traditional annuity with long-term care coverage.
