annuities and pensions

by darnardo1 » Mon Jun 29, 2009 12:32 am

pensions are just annuities that are partially funded by an employer correct?

Are pensions and annuities grouped together? Are they listed as life insurance?

I notice that some research lists annuities as life insurance and others list them seperately.

I read on one article "pension annuities" so...that's just a "pension" correct?

Damn this terminoligy is killing me

A pension is not just an annuity.

A pension can be funded with an annuity. A pension doesn't have to be funded with an annuity and sometimes a pension isn't funded at all or is underfunded.

A pension is a promise to pay a sum of dollars at some future point. An annuity is simply one way to keep this promise.
