Fixed Deferred Annuities

Fixed Deferred Annuity vs. Variable Deferred Annuities

All annuities other than immediate annuities have a characteristic known as deferral. The purpose of deferral is twofold. First, it refers to money being left in a savings-growth stage over a period of time, also referred to as the accumulation stage. Second, deferral refers to the tax characteristics of deferral allowing money to grow tax-free until it is withdrawn for income. Thus, an immediate annuity is neither deferred for savings-growth nor tax deferral and is therefore not considered a deferred annuity.

So, what is the distinction between variable deferred annuity and fixed deferred annuity? It is very simple. Fixed is when the insurance institution assumes the risk for your principal and accumulation while variable is when you assume the risk for the underlying investments, principal and accumulation.

Fixed Deferred Annuity Characteristics

  • Deferred fixed annuities originated in the U.S. approximately 100 years ago
  • They can be acquired in periodic, systematic or lump sum payments
  • Deferral in fixed annuities allows the value of the annuity to increase
  • After deferral period, fixed annuity can produce more income
  • Deferred fixed annuities have the added advantage of tax deferral
  • They can be annuitized providing a lifetime of income
  • Deferred fixed annuities are mostly opposite of immediate annuities since immediate annuities begin income soon after they are purchased in a lump sum
  • Deferred fixed annuities are typically invested in high quality A – AAA government and investment-grade bonds with to the client
  • Fixed index deferred annuities are never invested into a market index; they are only using the index as a gauge to credit interest to the client
  • CD deferred fixed annuity refers to a type of annuity that has a multi-year interest **guarantee. Only bank-issued CDs are FDIC insured
  • Deferred fixed annuities are creditor-protected in most states
  • Deferred fixed annuities are first **guaranteed by the claims paying ability of the insurer and then each state has a State Insurance Guarantee Association (SIGA) with varying coverage limits

    Fixed Deferred Annuity Summary

    All deferred fixed annuities  enjoy tax deferral with no income tax requirement until withdrawal. This is a definite advantage over many investments like CDs, mutual fund^s and securities oriented investments when considering a long term retirement plan. A long term fixed annuity investment may outperform CDs, bonds and treasuries. Reinvesting money that would otherwise be paid out in tax over an extended period of years is always an advantage. In addition, deferred fixed annuities have several benefits that can be important for retirement planning.

     Choose a *Fiduciary Advisor who gives you Full Disclosure of Cost & Selection.
     
    Material Fact 1:
      About 90% of advisors ARE NOT REQUIRED by law to do what is best for their clients!
     
    Material Fact 2:
     Fiduciary Advisors ARE REQUIRED by law to do what's best for their clients! 
     
      Hence, clients of a fiduciary can know that their advisor chose the highest legal standard required by law to work strictly for their highest good.
     
     We estimate Fiduciaries are less than 10% of total U.S. financial service providers. Fiduciaries are held to the highest client legal standard of financial planning and investment advice.
     
     The other 90% are sales oriented advisors, brokers, bank reps, registered reps. & insurance agents, selling products on a much lower suitability legal standard, not necessarily what's best for their client!
     
       Fiduciaries also must disclose conflicts of interest that could potentially bias their advice, such as; selling products that pay them higher commissions having higher fees or costs, and their lack of investment product access limiting their client's opportunities, to name a few.
