Annuities for Cash Management
A Single Premium Income Annuity (SPIA) is a fixed annuity contract issued by an insurance carrier. It is an option to consider if:
- You have already received your personal injury settlement and now want to use all or a portion to provide a steady income.
- You have a lump sum of money available to use to provide a predictable income stream.
- You want a safe, predictable source of income with no active investment management required on your part.
SPIAs offer a fixed rate of return, and there are no on-going investment management fees and expenses that you would have with a variable annuity. They provide a guaranteed stream of income for a certain period of time or for a lifetime, depending on which annuity type fits your situation. Contracts can also be written as joint and survivor. With a SPIA, you can provide for your beneficiaries too.
A SPIA is purchased with a one-time only payment of principal.
The periodic payments for a SPIA are designed to start within a year of purchase.* Payment frequency can be scheduled to meet your income needs, such as monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. Also, depending on the annuity contract and issuer, different options, features, and endorsements for advances, refunds, payment increases, withdrawals, and beneficiary payments are available.

* A 10% penalty may apply to payments received prior to age 59½.
Annuities for Retirement
If you are retiring, Kelly Ramsdale & Associates can offer you a Single Premium Income Annuity (SPIA) that will provide retirement income.
SPIAs provide a guaranteed stream of income for a certain period of time or for a lifetime, depending on which annuity type fits your situation. Contracts can also be written as joint and survivor. With a SPIA, you can provide for your beneficiaries too.
Using a SPIA as part of your total retirement income plan makes sense if you want a safe, predictable source of income with no active investment management required on your part. Also, there are no on-going investment management fees and expenses that you would have with a variable annuity.
This annuity is purchased with a one-time only payment of only certain qualified retirement monies.

Annuities for Other Situations

This type of annuity will provide periodic income that starts at least one year after purchase. These fixed rate-of-return annuities have similar features, options, endorsements, and benefits as a Single Premium Immediate Annuity, depending on the insurance company used.
