Can a 7% Annuity Outperform an 8% Annuity?

By Cathy DeWitt Dunn

It may sound like a trick question, but the answer is simple.

An account earning 8% simple interest earns less over time than an account earning 7% compound interest. A popular hybrid annuity advertises an 8% minimum guaranteed simple interest rate, but the savvy consumer will recognize the better value lies in another strategy with a 7% compounded minimum interest rate.

In addition to 100% principal protection, this contract offers guaranteed lifetime income, an 8% immediate bonus, the ability to earn more than the 7% minimum guarantee, and income multipliers if you become unable to perform two of the basic daily living tasks.
