Immediate Annuities

An immediate annuity is a contract in which the insurance company guarantees to provide a series of substantially equal payments over a period of time in exchange for a single premium paid at issue.

Purchasing an immediate annuity requires a one time premium payment. Retirees often purchase a single premium immediate annuity with funds received from 401(k) plans, IRAs, saving accounts, the cash value or death proceeds from life insurance or the proceeds from the sale of a home. The company issuing the immediate annuity guarantees payments directly to you monthly, quarterly, annually or semi-annually for life or for a guaranteed period of time.

Payments from an immediate annuity can be scheduled to supplement your regular social security or pension plans.
