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 would better be defined as a category of annuities rather than a type of annuity. All annuities can be categorized as either deferred or immediate. When income payments are scheduled to begin is the determining factor as to which category an annuity belongs. There are many different types of annuities that fall underneath the broader deferred annuity category. A deferred annuity has two phases: the accumulation phase, where you let your money grow for a period of time, and the payout phase.
