Annuitization
(redirected from annuitized)

Annuitization
The process of converting an annuity investment into a series of periodic income payments. Annuities may be annuitized regularly, over a long or short time period, or in some cases, in one single payment.

Notes:
After an annuity has been through the process of annuitization, the investment is said to have been annuitized. Annuitized investments are not necessarily paid out completely to the beneficiaries. Depending on the terms of the annuity policy, some of the money could go to the person's estate, to a trust or to the insurance company, for example.

Among its major provisions, the bill would provide safe harbor from age-discrimination suits for employers that transition to so-called "hybrid" cash balance or DB/k plans, which combine annuitized defined-benefit payouts with 401(k) savings and investment features.
In addition to annuitized payments to a beneficiary for life, annuities can also provide either annuitized payments for a limited number of years, or a lump-sum payment to the beneficiary.
Researchers have taken a wide variety of approaches to examine the issue, including measuring changes in household consumption at the time of retirement, calculating the annuitized value of existing wealth, comparing the wealth accumulation patterns of current and previous generations, and comparing the results of simulation models of optimal wealth accumulation with households' actual saving behavior.
