Q3: Are annuity insurance and pension the same?

Q3: Are annuity insurance and retirement benefits the same? A: Retirement benefits are institutional income that is passively received from the company or government you work for; whereas annuity insurance is an active personal retirement plan. After retirement, you may face risks such as longevity, inflation, and medical expenses. Annuity insurance guarantees a stable source of income and provides more flexible planning and supplements to help you gain more financial autonomy.
