Sample questions & answers

1. An immediate annuity is characterized by income payments that begin:

Within one payment period of purchase

An immediate annuity is funded with a single premium and begins paying income within one payment interval, such as a month or year.

2. A deferred annuity includes a phase during which:

Funds accumulate before payout begins

A deferred annuity has an accumulation phase where funds grow tax-deferred before the annuitization or payout phase begins.

3. In a fixed annuity, the investment risk is generally borne by:

The insurer, which guarantees a minimum interest rate

A fixed annuity guarantees a minimum interest rate and a fixed payout, so the insurer bears the investment risk.

4. Selling a variable annuity in Arizona generally requires the producer to hold:

A securities registration in addition to a life license

Because variable annuity values depend on separate-account investments, the producer needs a securities registration plus a life license.
