Immediate Annuities - GBU Life (4)

As retirement nears, financial challenges like rising healthcare costs, inflation and market volatility need to be managed.

Our Future Flex Single Premium Immediate Annuities (SPIA) convert a portion of your retirement savings into steady, reliable income for a specified period or your lifetime. We offer a range of flexible payout options.

  • Lifetime: Provides income for the member’s lifetime. This option provides the highest payment amount.

  • Lifetime with Refund: If the member dies before receiving all principal, the balance is paid to the designated beneficiary. This refund can be paid in a lump sum or installments.

  • Joint & Survivor: Provides income based on the life expectancy of two individuals and ends at the death of the second individual. This can be done for a Period Certain or lifetime basis.

  • Customizable Period Certain: Provides income for a term of 5 to 25 years. If the member dies before the term ends, the joint owner, if any, otherwise the designated beneficiary receives the remaining payments or a lump sum.

  • Customizable Period Certain & Life: Provides income for life with the joint owner, if any, otherwise the designated beneficiary receiving the remaining payments or a lump sum if the member dies before the selected term ends.
