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?
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.
