Annuities are more simple than you may think. An annuity is a form of investment entitling the investor to annual withdrawals. Typically, this is a fixed sum of money paid to someone each year, usually for the rest of their life.
An annuity the safest investment you can make, typically giving returns of 3% – 8% per year. You form an annuity by transfering money to a life insurance company that specializes in annuities, and they invest your money into mutual funds. They guarantee minimal returns and have built in safeguards, so even if the market crashes, you are well protected. Also, at the end of the annuity term, they begin to send you your payments.
