This fund later provides you with a pension. The pension amount will be higher because the fund size is now bigger, as well as because your age is now more than 5 years ago.<\/li>\n<li><strong> Immediate Annuity<\/strong> \u2013 Your investment immediately starts giving you a pension without waiting for any period.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><strong>Annuities based on Type of Pension Amounts offered<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong> Guaranteed (or Fixed) Annuities: <\/strong>This means that the amount of pension that you will receive is fixed for the entire chosen period of the annuity plan, or till death. \u00a0There is no change in this amount. \u00a0You need to keep in mind that inflation will keep reducing the real value of a guaranteed annuity over time. \u00a0At the same time, however, this kind of annuity insulates you against reducing interest rates over time.<\/li>\n<li><strong> Variable Annuities: <\/strong>In this type of annuity option, you can choose to keep your investment in a variety of asset classes ranging from most conservative (such as money market, guaranteed fixed accounts, and government bond funds) to more aggressive (such as growth, small cap, mid cap, large cap, capital appreciation, aggressive growth, and emerging markets investments). \u00a0Balanced funds with combination of these asset classes are also available. Such an option typically includes a Minimum Guaranteed Annuity.\n<div class=\"react-scroll-to-bottom--css-ratty-1n7m0yu\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-col text-sm pb-9\">\n<div class=\"w-full text-token-text-primary sm:AIPRM__conversation__response\" data-testid=\"conversation-turn-329\">\n<div class=\"px-4 py-2 justify-center text-base md:gap-6 m-auto\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-1 text-base mx-auto gap-3 md:px-5 lg:px-1 xl:px-5 md:max-w-3xl group final-completion\">\n<div class=\"relative flex w-full flex-col agent-turn\">\n<div class=\"flex-col gap-1 md:gap-3\">\n<div class=\"mt-1 flex justify-start gap-3 empty:hidden\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>This kind of annuity plan works like a high-risk, high return plan although it does allow you to switch from one asset class to the other without any cost. \u00a0 Make sure you know how to manage your fund either yourself or with help from a financial\u00a0advisor, before you choose a variable annuity plan.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Annuities based on Type of Pension Scheme<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Life Annuity<\/strong> \u2013 Guaranteed pension to the annuitant till the end of his\/her life.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Life Annuity with Return of Corpus (or Purchase Price)<\/strong> \u2013\u00a0Guaranteed pension to the annuitant till the end of his\/her life, finally the Corpus (initial investment made) is returned to a nominee.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Annuity Guaranteed for 5, 10, 15 or 20 years<\/strong> \u2013 Guaranteed pension to the annuitant for a fixed period of 5, 10, 15, 20 years. \u00a0It stops after that.
