What are the basic types of annuities?
The two basic types of annuities are fixed annuities and variable annuities. - A fixed annuity pays a guaranteed rate and guarantees principal.
- A variable annuity produces investment returns based on the performance of investments made through the annuity. You have a higher potential rate of return with a variable annuity, but you also have more investment risk.
