Payout annuities will appeal to you if you’re seeking guaranteed income for one life, two lives, or for a specific period of time with protection from market risk.

If you’re nearing or in retirement, it’s key to ensure that essential living expenses like groceries, housing costs, and medications are always covered for the remainder of your life. A payout annuity helps cover these essential expenses and protects you from the risk of outliving your money. Once you’ve covered the essentials, you’ll have a better idea of how best to generate lifestyle income in retirement.

Benefits of payout annuities

  •  

    Provide the highest level of guaranteed lifetime income available when compared to other income generating products. Furthermore, there’s no active investment management needed and your income is covered by Assuris protection.

  •  

    Tax efficient income that may qualify for tax credits and pension income splitting.

  •  

    Many options to customize, such as a guaranteed period that can provide a death benefit to a beneficiary and income indexing that can offset the effect of inflation.
