What are annuity fees?

Picking up the discussion on fees from last week, let's discuss annuity fees. What exactly are annuity fees?

Simply, they are the fees associated with periodic income for a specified length of time, for life, or a combination of the two. Like anything else in finance, there are fees associated with the purchase of an annuity. Depending on the annuity type you buy, you may pay contract fees, administration fees, withdrawal fees, or mortality fees(!).

Annuity fees are expensive (up to 10% in some cases) and may even be born by those who survive you. That is not much of a legacy to leave, is it? It might be hard to figure out what your annuity fees even are because they are often buried in hundreds of pages of prospectus.

Honestly, variable annuities do not make sense in most circumstances precisely because of these high fees. A better alternative for your retirement income is an immediate annuity. There are fewer fees which mean you have more to invest.
