SINGLE PREMIUM IMMEDIATE ANNUITIES
What a Single Premium Immediate Annuity May Help Solve
A single premium immediate annuity is usually considered when someone wants to turn part of their savings into a predictable income stream. That income may be used to help cover essential expenses, supplement Social Security, reduce concern about market volatility, or create a more dependable retirement income floor. The key point is that the annuity should solve a specific income need. It should not be purchased simply because the income quote looks attractive. Before committing money to a single premium immediate annuity, it is important to understand what income need it is intended to support, how much liquidity should remain outside the annuity, and how the decision fits with the rest of the retirement plan.
At National Benefits Consultants, we help clients look at the purpose of the money first. The goal is not just to compare income quotes, but to determine whether the annuity fits the client’s broader retirement income picture.
