Best Annuity List of 2013

Annuity Comparison Tables

By Ivon T Hughes

Are you retiring without a pension?

Baby boomers regret not saving more towards their retirement. Many workers are now retiring without pensions. But one way they can catch up is by using the funds they have saved to buy a life annuity in place of a company pension.

If you want to find the best retirement annuity look no further than our Annuity Best Buy Table below.

Find the best annuity for retirement

The way you do this is by asking us to shop the market after you have decided on a date to deposit the money for the annuity and the date to start receiving payments from the annuity.

How do I find the best annuity rates?

Let an experience annuity broker shop for the best annuity rate for you. Fact is that retirees do not shop around for the best annuity at retirement. That means less income for the rest of your life.

Working with an independent annuity broker, like Ivon T. Hughes, gives you an unbiased view of your options and helps you find the best monthly income available.

  3. Joint life annuity
  4. Covers the lives of two individuals, a primary annuitant and a secondary annuitant (usually a husband and a wife). Upon the death of one annuitant, the surviving annuitant will continue to receive the income.

  5. Term certain annuity
  6. Provides guaranteed income for a specified period of time.

The best annuity interest rates

The best annuity rates are generally reflected in the payout. While many factors, including longevity, are included in the calculation, a higher interest rate will generally reflect a higher payment.

Best time to buy an annuity

Like real estate, the best time to buy an annuity is now. You don't know how long you and/or your spouse will live, so waiting for something that may not happen is just plain foolish.
