In this episode, The Annuity Man discussed:

  • The four lifetime income products

  • How annuities are priced

  • The simplicity of SPIA

  • Getting the highest guarantee

Key Takeaways:

  • There are four lifetime income products: Single Premium Immediate Annuities, Deferred Income Annuities, Qualified Longevity Annuity Contracts, and Income Riders that can be attached to Variable Annuities and Indexed Annuities.

  • Annuities are priced primarily on your life expectancy at the time you start the payment. Interest rates play a secondary role.

  • Deferred Income Annuities are in essence just a Single Premium Immediate Annuity that is deferred past a year. A SPIA has no moving parts, no market attachments, and no annual fees. It is a straight transfer of risk.

  • The highest possible payments you can have from an annuity are from a life-only annuity. This is the annuity for people who don’t want to give to any beneficiaries. Companies often issue these without the option to change the start date, but you can change the start date if the contract has a cash refund or period certain attached to it.

"That income for life transfer risk strategy with annuities, typically four primary types SPIAS, DIAS, QLACs, and Income Riders. We can structure it so that you have the ability to pivot and change that income start date." —  Stan The Annuity Man.
