What Is The Rate Of Return On Annuities? 
The rate of return on an annuity will widely vary depending on the type of contract it is and the carrier that issues it . A fixed annuity is safer since there is a guaranteed interest rate . A variable annuity will invest -LRB- or can invest -RRB- a portion of the funds in equities , and therefore has a higher potential for appreciation . But it could still under-perform a fixed annuity . A full-time investment broker or financial planner is a great resource for advice .
