Cash Refund Annuity

Cash Refund, Cashable, Principle Protection

Cash refund annuities (cashable annuities) or principle protection all mean the same thing.

Cash refund annuities are an answer to the increasing demand for flexibility, along with the security of the investment.

With this new product, you will get the higher age return income of a life annuity, but with the bonus of being able to cash out if you wish. Life annuities, of course, give better returns the older you are, but as you receive the same income as a non cashable annuity, they’re certainly worth investigating.

And you don’t have to ever use the cashability feature.

Cashable Annuities – This option (also known as a cash refund guarantee) ensures that, in the event that all annuitants pass away on or after the payment start date, a beneficiary will receive a lump sum payment. This lump sum payment is equal to the difference between the total payments made by us and the original investment.
