SCRIPT

An annuity is a contract between you and an insurance company. You give them a lump sum of money. They promise to give you income back, either for a set period or for the rest of your life.

The appeal is the guarantee. In a world where markets go up and down and nobody knows what their portfolio will be worth in any given year, a guaranteed income stream sounds extremely attractive.

There are four main types. A fixed annuity pays a guaranteed interest rate, similar to a CD. A variable annuity invests your money in market sub-accounts and your balance fluctuates. A fixed indexed annuity links your returns to a market index but protects you from negative years. And a single premium immediate annuity starts paying you income right away in exchange for a lump sum.

Each type has different fees, different flexibility, and different risk profiles. The right type, or whether you need one at all, depends entirely on your situation.
