From the NAIC Buyer’s Guide
Fixed annuities guarantee at least a minimum interest rate set by the insurer. Deferred annuities also differ by premium pattern and by fees and charges.
The 2022 NAIC Buyer’s Guide for Deferred Annuities explains that an annuity is a contract with an insurance company. With an annuity, the insurer promises to pay income on a regular basis for a period you choose—including the rest of your life.
Immediate annuities begin payments soon after purchase; deferred annuities begin at a later date you choose. Most deferred annuities have an accumulation period and a payout period.
