IFSE Institute Exam LLQP Topic 4 Question 3 Discussion

Actual exam question for IFSE Institute's LLQP exam
Question #: 3
Topic #: 4
[All LLQP Questions]

Jessica is 61 years old and has $460,000 invested in a registered retirement savings plan (RRSP). She is retiring due to health issues that are expected to reduce her life expectancy and will prevent her from working until she is 65. She would like to transfer her RRSP funds into an annuity that will pay her monthly benefits for the rest of her life.

Which of the following annuities is the BEST option for her to purchase?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Due to Jessica's reduced life expectancy, an impaired life annuity would provide higher monthly payments than a standard life annuity. This type of annuity takes her medical condition into account, offering larger payouts based on a shorter expected payment period. LLQP resources recommend impaired life annuities for individuals with significant health issues, as these provide better income compared to other types.

Options A and C offer a fixed period but don't maximize monthly income for someone with a reduced life expectancy. Option B would provide a standard income for life but not the potentially enhanced income from an impaired annuity.

I think the best option for Jessica would be the impaired life annuity (D). Given her reduced life expectancy, this will provide her with the highest monthly payments for the rest of her life.

I think the life annuity with a 20-year guaranteed period (C) could also be a good option for Jessica.

Because she has health issues and a reduced life expectancy, so she may benefit from higher payments with an impaired life annuity.
