Verified step by step guidance

Understand the concept of an annuity: An annuity is a financial product that provides a series of payments to an individual, typically used for retirement planning. Payments can be immediate or deferred based on the type of annuity.

Define immediate annuities: Immediate annuities begin payments to the investor shortly after the initial investment is made. This is typically used by individuals who need income right away.

Define deferred annuities: Deferred annuities start payments at a future date, allowing the investment to grow over time before disbursements begin. This is often used by individuals planning for retirement income later in life.

Compare the timing of payments: The key difference is the timing of payments. Immediate annuities provide payments right after the investment, while deferred annuities delay payments to a specified future date.

Clarify misconceptions: Immediate and deferred annuities are available to both individuals and institutional investors, and the payment structure (lump-sum or installments) depends on the specific terms of the annuity contract, not the type of annuity.
