父母之前在Chase存了一笔CD,最近到期了。原本想当中一部分拿出来继续存CD,现在银行利息低了一些。结果Chase里面一位advisor推荐他们去存三年的fixed annuity,利息是5.3%。介绍说是零风险,固定收益和定存没有区别。Chase作为broker的角色,将钱转交给一些信誉很好的insurance公司。而且因为他们都超过60岁了, 不存在tax penalty的问题。然而万一有什么问题,Chase不承担任何的责任,和Chase无关。
父母有点动心了。不太了解这种类型的annuity,想请问下这里面有什么坑吗?谢谢!

风险很低,和CD差不多,还可以设置成每年提10%的本金。
问问是哪家保险公司的产品,建议用评级A以上的公司。

google 了一下, 感觉几乎零风险阿。
Fixed annuities are often referred to as CD Type Annuities because of their similarity to bank certificates of deposit. They provide a guaranteed rate of return for a set period of time (usually 2 to 10 years). You might earn more if the annuity company''s investments do well, but you are always guaranteed at least your minimum payment. 
Taxes are not due on annuity earnings until the annuity matures. If the annuity is designed to leave money after you die, the amount will go directly to your beneficiaries.

不懂帮顶,顺便问问懂的不设年限的annuity有什么问题吗?我们的401k好像有选项,退休时可以转成lifetime年金,活多久给多久,听起来too good to be true?
