 | | Annuities may be named after a stream of payments, but if their largest use is not for that, and the stream of payments concept is the only thing the article introduction references, then the article does not represent the topic well. | | | The annuity company attempts to do that for their annuitized annuties, but are guaranteed to not be exactly correct due to variability. | | | Also the holder of a deferred fixed annuity is guaranteed to not lose principal at any given time, only be credited with varying levels of interest. |

| | Committee of Annuity Insurers - Catalyst Study |
| | The actual variable annuity payout in each period depends on the number of annuity units that the annuitant is credited with and, over some range of asset returns, on the value of the assets in the variable annuity's underlying portfolio. | | | Annuities are sometimes referred to as "reverse life insurance." With life insurance, the policyholder pays the insurer each year until he or she dies, after which the insurance company pays a lump sum to the insured's beneficiaries. | | | Annuities, at 8.56 percent, accounted for a greater share of premium income during this period, and individual annuities accounted for 80 percent of annuity premiums. |

| | Encyclopedia: Annuity |
| | In finance, an annuity is a series of fixed payments, usually over a fixed number of years; or for the lifetime of a person, in which case it would be called a life-contingent annuity or simply life annuity. | | | Annuities are a compulsory feature of certain savings schemes in some countries, where the government grants tax deductions, provided that savings are paid into a fund which can only (or mainly) be withdrawn as an annuity. | | | An annuity (from Latin annus, a year), is an investment that provides a defined series of payments in the future in exchange for an up-front sum of money. |

| | Annuity |
| | In a variable annuity, income or account value is based on the value of the stocks or bonds backing the annuity assets, so the income and/or account values fluctuate. | | | Variable immediate annuities have a fixed number of income units with the value of those units fluctuating because they are based on the value of the underlying investments. | | | Unlike fixed annuities, the investment risk in variable annuities is borne by the annuity owner; so variable annuities are considered investment securities and would be a risk money place. |

| | Annuity |
| | The simple answer is that money from an annuity that hasn't already been taxed is treated as ordinary income and is reported to the IRS on a 1099 by the insurance company. | | | If, however, the annuity is purchased with cash or if its value builds up in a deferred state over time then every payment has a portion that recovers the cost basis. | | | A variable annuity pays "units" from a mutual fund, selling the shares of the underlying investments when payments are due. |

| | Invest FAQ:Insurance:Annuities |
| | An annuity with a fixed investment type offer a guaranteed return on investment by investing in government bonds and other low-risk securities, whereas a variable investment type means that the return on the annuity investment will depend on performance of the funds (called sub-accounts) where the money is invested. | | | The idea of a fixed annuity is that you give a sum of money to an insurance company, and in exchange they promise to pay you a fixed monthly amount for a certain period of time, either a fixed period or for your lifetime (the concept of 'annuitization'). | | | The insurance portion of the annuity also may provide certain investment guarantees, such as guaranteeing that the full principal (amount originally contributed to the account) will be paid out on the death of the account holder, even if the market value was low at that time. |

| | Annuity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Sometimes annuities are based on investments expected to give a better return, and the risk of these may vary from funds that incorporate some form of protection (for example by purchasing derivatives) through to pure equity funds based on shares alone. | | | In a deferred annuity, the goal is to invest the premium payments in either guaranteed accounts or variable accounts and earn investment returns. | | | Under the US tax code, the benefits from annuity contracts do not always have to be taken in the form of a fixed stream of payments (annuitization), and many of the contracts are bought primarily for the tax benefits rather than to get a fixed stream of income. |

| | For example, the present value of an ordinary annuity of one $10,000 payment at 10% is $9,091 plus another payment of $10,000 equals the $19,091 present value of an annuity due for two payments. | | | Present value of of an ordinary annuity (payments at the end of the periods) with $10,000 payments for two periods at 10% = $17,355. | | | Present value of of an annuity due (payments at the beginning of the periods) with $10,000 payments for two periods at 10% = $19,091. |
