Rethinking Annuities: A Fresh Perspective
Exploring Annuities for Retirement Income
As more people seek diverse sources of retirement income, annuities are gaining attention. An annuity represents a contract between an individual and a financial services or life insurance company. In this arrangement, the individual invests a sum of money, and in return, the company provides periodic payments as outlined in the contract.
One key benefit of annuities is their tax-deferral feature, meaning federal income taxes on earnings are postponed until withdrawal. Additionally, most annuities allow for extra contributions at any time. If you're considering purchasing an annuity, the Insurance Marketplace Standards Association (IMSA) recommends evaluating a few essential questions:
1. Is This Annuity Right for Me?
It's crucial to clearly understand the product you're purchasing. Assess whether it aligns with your age, financial needs, objectives, and risk tolerance.2. Will I Need Access to These Funds Soon?
Annuities are designed for long-term investment. If you withdraw funds early, you may face fees or penalties.3. What Are the Implications of Switching Annuities?
If you're considering exchanging one annuity for another, compare them carefully. Are the benefits equivalent? Will you incur a surrender charge or start a new surrender period?When selecting an insurance company, ensure their credibility. A reliable way to verify this is by looking for the IMSA logo, which indicates adherence to IMSA’s rigorous Principles and Code of Ethical Market Conduct following an independent review.
