The annuity, in essence, is insurance against "living too long." In contrast, traditional life insurance guards against "dying too soon." Here is a summary of how annuities function.

One negative aspect of an annuity is that you cannot get to your money during the growth period without incurring taxes and penalties. The tax code imposes a 10% premature withdrawal penalty on money taken out of a tax-deferred annuity before age 59-1/2, and insurers impose penalties on withdrawals made before the term of the annuity is up. The insurers' penalties are termed "surrender charges," and they usually apply for the first seven years of the annuity contract.

Most fixed annuities are sold as back-end loaded contracts, meaning no fees are assessed at the time of this product's purchase. The insurer makes its money ? on the "spread" between the interest it earns on invested premiums and the amount that it credits to an annuity. During the accumulation period, interest credited or earned on an annuity is not currently taxable to the contract holder.

A fixed interest rate is set at the time of purchase for 30% (33% in WA) of the account value. This fixed interest rate is calculated and credited daily.

Life insurance pays your beneficiaries a substantial cash benefit should you die during the term of the policy -- essentially protecting them against the risk that you might die prematurely, placing them in financial jeopardy. Benefits from life insurance policies are designed to replace "lost" income; they usually provide significantly more than you've paid into the policy. Annuities are completely different -- they are designed to provide you with income during retirement.
