If you have decided to invest in an annuity for securing your income flow during your retirement phase, the next step is to compare annuity rates. This is something like comparing the products of different brands and deciding which is more effective for YOU. Comparing annuity rates is not suggested only for getting a cheaper annuity, but for selecting the one that suits you the best. In fact, just as you should be selecting your shopping items with care from the departmental store, you should be giving more attention to select and purchase your annuities. Always, always compare annuity rates offered by the different insurance companies. At least, you can avoid getting trapped in a high-costing, high-talking annuity. |

If you do not compare the annuity rates and quotes well before you select and purchase your annuity, you are in trouble because: |
|
| (A) You may not realize that variable annuities demand higher fees and interest rates then fixed rate annuities, whereas a fixed rate annuity is always more secure and better |
|
(B)You may not realize that another insurance company is offering the same features in their annuity at a lesser price |
|
(C) You may be lured in by an equity-indexed annuity thinking it’s low cost and risk free, but in reality, it’s the opposite |
|
| (D) You may have grabbed the first annuity plan that came your way thinking it’s the best but in reality, it’s just one from the list of ‘other useful annuity plans’ |
|
(E) Your annuity may have a good interest rate but the surrender fee or the penalty to be paid if you have to withdraw the money is so high that you lose most of the benefits |
|
Majority of the annuitants end up paying high interest rates because they don’t compare the annuity rates and quotes. You also pay for each insurance component included in the annuity. If you do not compare the annuities offered by several insurance companies, there are high chances that you will end up buying an annuity that is not that good for you. You may be paying prices for insurance components that you do not actually need, and may forgo insurance features that were required in your case. |
