Annuities with lifetime income provisions offer risk pooling, which tends to be underappreciated as a unique source of returns that is unavailable for an investment portfolio. 

Before then, Congress must take action to allow full benefits to be paid on time.

This presentation seeks to provide a better understanding about different types of annuities, including income annuities such as single-premium immediate annuities, deferred variable annuities, and fixed index annuities. For the latter two, we will focus on how they provide exposure to market upside and on how optional guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit riders can support lifetime spending

In this one-hour session on "Understanding How Different Annuites Work", you will learn:

1. 1. Distinguish between major annuities categories such as variable or fixed, immediate or deferred;
   2. Understand mechanics for how downside protection, upside potential, and liquidity features work for different annuity types;
   3. Appreciate the risk pooling insurance aspect provided by annuitization or by guaranteed distributions through an optional guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit.
