refund annuity
(redirected from Refund Annuities)Refund Annuity
An annuity that makes fixed payments to the annuitant throughout his/her life, but, more importantly, guarantees the return of the original amount paid into the annuity. Thus, if the annuitant dies before the original amount is paid out, his/her survivors receive the remaining amount. Premiums for refund annuities are usually higher than for other annuities.
