Best Answer

There are many types of fixed annuities and they may all vary. In general an annuity is a contract between you and an insurance company. You agree to put funds into the annuity and they guarantee that your funds will grow at a certain rate, as determined usually yearly, for a certain period of time. Once that time passes and when you are ready to withdraw your funds plus any growth the insurance company agrees to pay you that amount of money either in a lump sum, systematic withdrawals, or over a period of time or for your lifetime.
