These annuities allow the client's money to grow tax deferred and can be purchased with terms of 3 to 10 yrs. Because of their tax deferral status the are the best alternative to bank cds and with a higher rate of interest. It is also a great place to put cash values of a terminated whole life policy when being replaced by a less costly term policy.Answered on April 13, 2016flag this answer
