Some people think that annuities are expensive, that you
need to have thousands of dollars in the bank to buy into an annuity. While
there are some annuities that require a large single payment, Erie Insurance
offers many other options that can fit into many budgets:
- Flexible
Premium Deferred Annuity (FPDA): Think of the FPDA as the “pay as you go”
model of annuity. Rather than a large single payment, this annuity is
funded over time with either scheduled or intermittent payments into your
account. This allows you to fund the account slowly without a large
initial payment, and can be a great choice for building a retirement
account. You can enter a FPDA for as little as $300.
- Single
Premium Immediate Annuity (SPIA): If you need an immediate source of
income, an SPIA may be right for you.* It does require an initial payment, but you begin receiving income right
away with no waiting. These payments can be limited to a certain period of
time, or can keep paying out for the rest of your life.
- Single
Premium Deferred Annuity (SPDA): If you have $10,000 or more to invest in
your future, an SPDA is an option. Choices include 3, 5 or 7-year
guaranteed payout terms. Depending on the amount of the deposit, there may
even be a first year bonus.
