This weekend I visited my family back in Cincinnati and got to meet my Dadâs new iPad for the first time. I donât have enough money for this fancy technology so Iâve never really used an iPad before.
Deferred Annuities. A deferred annuity grows tax deferred until the contract is annuitized (put into a payment stream) or surrendered (paid out as a lump sum). This type of annuity is a vehicle for accumulating savings for a future goal, such as retirement, and eventually distributing the value.
A deferred annuity which grows by interest rate earnings alone is called a fixed deferred annuity (FA). A deferred annuity that permits allocations to stock or bond funds and for which the account value is not guaranteed to stay above the initial amount invested is called a variable annuity (VA).
