What do these terms mean?

Guarantee
A guaranteed payment is a specific amount of money paid on a specific date, no matter how the market performs.
Tax-free
Payments or returns received without the government charging federal, state or local taxes. Section 104(a)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code allows Structured Settlements to be one of the few tax-free options available.
Lifetime Income**
Guaranteed payments made for the duration of your lifetime, which provides future financial security.
No ongoing costs
Many investments require you to pay management or service fees varying in amount and frequency on your account.
No additional upkeep required
Some investments require you or an outside party to review and update your account for the duration of the investment.
Cost of living adjustment
This option allows you to include an annual cost of living increase to your benefits in efforts to counteract the effects of inflation.
Not affected by market fluctuations
These investment options will not be affected by market volatility. The return amount you were promised when you made the initial investment will not change even if the market is down at the time you receive your benefit payment.
Liquidity
The ability to cash in or change your investment after purchase. With this option, a fee is often charged, your investment ends earlier than originally planned and you might find that you do not receive the return you had expected.
