114. Annuities Vs. Bonds: What’s the Difference?

Jul 29, 2022

What is the Difference Between an Annuity and a Bond?

We are continuing our discussion this week on annuities and the value they have with a balanced portfolio. We’ll focus specifically on the differences between annuities and bonds with our special guest host, Joe Casey. 

An annuity is a contract with an insurance company that ensures income in the future. It’s simple and can be valuable to the right investor. On the other hand, bonds are a bit more complex and are reactionary to interest rates.

Join us today as we break down these differences and consider which investment is best for you.
