Hi Mr Tan,
I read your article in the Straits Times concerning Annuities. I have a question concerning longevity risk. If I were to take up an Annuity of $100K at the age of 62 but I die 5 years later. Does that mean my wife and children won't get back $100K?
REPLY:
If you buy a capital protected annuity, your family will get back the amount invested, less the payments that you have received.
A capital protected annuity pays about 12% less than a pure annuity (ie without capital protection).
