Let’s understand what an annuity plan is and how it can help you.
Annuity plans are contracts issued and distributed by financial institutions where the funds are invested to pay a fixed income stream later on. Annuity policy was designed to be a reliable means of securing steady cash flow during your retirement years to alleviate fears of the longevity risk of outliving your assets.

As long as you comprehend that you are trading a liquid lump sum for a guaranteed cash flow, the product is suitable for you.

It is, therefore, not recommended for younger individuals or those with liquidity needs to buy annuity insurance.

Entrusting your hard-earned money to the appropriate suitable annuity plan is the solution to your need for guaranteed and regular income in the sunset years of your beautiful life. After all, it is specifically designed to meet your long-term retirement goals. However, to reap the benefits of all the seeds you sow, you should start early and strategically select the right plan as per your requirements. With the right annuity plan by your side, you can make your retirement years a memorable new chapter of your life.
