You can have as many annuities as you want as long as they meet suitability requirements. Never tie up all of your funds into any long term investment or savings vehicle. Maintain a liquid account for emergencies. Keep in mind that annuities are designed for long term savings, primarily retirement funding. If you need to surrender an annuity prior to age 59 and 1/2 there may be tax penalties. Also most annuities have surrender charges if funds are taken out too soon. Before purchasing an annuity check the length of time the surrender charges apply and make sure you find them acceptable and appropriate for your needs.
The total annuity dollar amount ultimately will have a limitation. Annuities are mortality products. So the annuity company has risk if the amount is too high for their retention. But can you have multiple annuity polices. There are tax advantaged strategies that use multiple annuity policies called annuity laddering, combining different annuities and/or time periods.
Yes, you can have more than one annuity. This can happen sometimes when an individual will purchase an annuity and then later came into a sum of money. Rather than just leave the money sitting in a checking account, it can be used to purchase additional annuities.
In other cases, you might choose a different payment schedule to help with different expenses. An individual might purchase one annuity with monthly payments to handle their every day living expenses and purchase one with annual payments to provide a larger annual payment. For example if your home is paid off, you might have a small annual annuity to provide payments for property taxes and homeowners insurance premium payment.
Yes, you can have two or more annuities. Unlike life insurance, you do not have to qualify financially for the sum total of the face amounts of each annuity. Annuities are a way of growing your money and distributing it to you. So you can get as many annuities as you have money to put into them.
That is a great question! Yes, you can have more than one annuity. With insurance, you can be limited in the amount of insurance coverage that you want, based upon your income. With annuities, you can have as many as you wish, as long as it is "suitable" for you to continue purchasing them. The suitability is based upon your cash flow, asset liquidity, and your age, among other things. In most cases, your money will be tied up for quite a while, and as long as that's not an issue for you, you can continue buying them. I hope that helps, thanks for asking!
