Annuity
An annuity comes in many forms, but a simple definition is that an annuity is a contract that converts a sum of money into a series of periodic payments for an agreed upon period of time. An annuity can be thought of as a financial vehicle that converts a pool of money into a stream of income. Annuities are most useful in addressing the financial planning needs of people in or approaching retirement. Annuities are unique in the financial world because they can provide protection against the risk or outliving one’s assets (longevity risk) by guaranteeing income payments in perpetuity or any other selected amount of time. Annuities can be viewed as a type of personal pension plan. Social Security is similar to an annuity in that money contributed over the course of one’s working years is converted into a series of periodic payments that provide income during retirement.

Annuities Versus Bonds
Submitted by tom on
This discussion topic was originally posted in the form of a comment.
The general topic is how annuities compare to bonds. It is a natural question since both annuities and bonds provide owners with fixed payments.
We moved the comment here so that it can surface to a larger audience and hopefully generate further discussion and comments.
As noted below, the conceptual basis for this content is based on a great paper written a few years ago by Jason Scott--the Director of Retiree Research at Financial Engines.
