What Is An Insured Annuity?
An insured annuity is essentially a prescribed life annuity and a term life insurance policy, purchased together. An annuity provides a guaranteed regular income stream, while a term 100 life insurance policy provides a cash payout upon death. The combination of the benefits provided by these products is ideal for those seeking guaranteed income and the preservation of their capital. An insured annuity pays a higher guaranteed (after-tax) income for life, compared to most traditional alternatives.
An insured annuity provides:
The highest possible guaranteed income for life.
Income security through regular income payment.
Some distinct tax advantages.
Tax-deferred growth.
Preservation of capital.
How Does An Insured Annuity Work?
Using only a portion of the regular annuity payments, you purchase a level premium term insurance policy equal to the value of the life annuity. The death benefit of the life insurance policy is paid directly to your named beneficiary tax-free, allowing you to preserve your capital for your heirs.
If you are considering an insured annuity, ask yourself the following questions:
Do I want to maximize my income for retirement?
Am I concerned about guaranteeing the safety of my retirement income?
Am I concerned about the safety of my capital for the eventual transfer to my heirs?
How long am I willing to hold my investments?
Would I like to increase my after-tax guaranteed retirement income?
Who Are Insured Annuities For?
For individuals who are retired, or are approaching retirement, an insured annuity is certainly an investment worth considering. As well as, providing higher guaranteed income to complement other sources of income, an insured annuity allows you to preserve your capital for the eventual transfer to your heirs.
An insured annuity should be considered as an important component of a larger diversified plan.

"I met with Mark after hearing his radio ads. We met in his office and I found him to be extremely professional. I really appreciated his orientation and process. It wasn't only about insurance, albeit, this was a very important reason for our meeting. He was genuinely interested in finding out about me and my family and our aspirations and goals to determine what was best for us. Mark was very flexible with my busy travel schedule. He followed through even as I experienced a significant move and corporate change. Mark will be a big asset to any senior executive who doesn't have the time or urgency to look after important family matters. I recommend him highly."

"My business is preparing Canadian Chartered Accountants to pass the American CPA exams. This requires providing candidates with an organized program and the necessary tools to be successful. Mark Halpern organized my estate planning and provided me with the advice necessary to properly protect my family. He educated me as to exactly what my young family's needs were. Mark worked closely with me to ensure that all of the necessary decisions were made on a timely basis. The process was very efficient. I highly recommend Mark to busy professionals who want one-stop shopping for all of their estate planning needs."

"You're Great! I hadn't even heard of Critical Illness insurance before meeting you. Thanks for making it happen. It's nice to know you are always there when we need you. Thanks again on behalf of our entire family."

"I was referred to Mark by a lawyer colleague who is familiar with insurance company litigation. She deals with insurance matters and advised us that if we were considering critical illness insurance, Mark is the best in the business. My wife and I are both lawyers, so we needed to understand everything and Mark took the time to explain things in great detail. He didn't pressure us and helped us make the right decision. We also really appreciated Mark's accommodation by arranging to meet us late at night. We both recommend Mark highly."
