We all need reliable retirement income. And the older we get, the more we need baseline income that lands in our bank accounts like clockwork and is completely foolproof.
With guaranteed income to support you throughout your retirement, you can spend more freely, knowing the well will never run dry.
Best of all, when your lifestyle is protected and safe you have the confidence to live without holding back, no matter what happens in the world.
Annuity Insights
Cover the basics
Add up your monthly living expenses and subtract your CPP, OAS, and other pension income. Any gap should be closed with an annuity to create a solid income floor underneath you.
Start small
Buy the smallest annuity that fills your income gap. Keep the majority of your portfolio invested for the long term, with some ready cash in a “stuff happens” account.
Protect your future self
Guaranteed income is your defence against things going south. No matter what’s in the cards for the economy, your investments, or your abilities – you’ll always have money coming in.
Use your interest-bearing money
Bonds and GICs can be put to good use in an annuity, allowing you to increase your return and optimize your portfolio, while preserving the remainder of your assets for growth.
Pair with dividend ETFs
Canadian dividend ETFs with low management fees pair well with annuities, to get growth and keep up with inflation. Buy, hold, and spend.
Buy one now, and another later
Annuity payouts are higher for older buyers, so consider a second one in later life, to increase your monthly income over time.
Moshe Milevsky
“There is overwhelming evidence that people over the age of 70 should use a life annuity because the longevity credits are just too significant to ignore. I’m a huge fan of annuities that act like a personal pension.”
Moshe Milvesky is a professor of finance at York University, a pension expert and a prolific author.

“In later stages of retirement, people become less capable of managing their investments, while their self-confidence remains the same or even increases. Prepare for this stage.”
Fred Vettese is a former actuary and author of the best-selling book “Retirement Income for Life”
Wade Pfau
“An annuity is very straightforward: a simple lump-sum payment, and you get income for life. It pools longevity risk across a large group of individuals; and because of its longevity credits, those who don’t live long subsidize those who live longer. An annuity can help preserve the remaining portfolio when someone lives a long time in retirement.”
Wade Pfau is a researcher focused on retirement income planning. He has published four books and over sixty peer-reviewed research articles.
