Structured Settlements
Payments Protected
A Structured annuity removes from the injured
party the burden and risk of investing and managing a large sum of
money. A 1992 study by the Rutter Group showed that 90% of all single
lump sum settlements are dissipated within 5 years. The annuity offers
a predictable, steady source of income, and can reduce the possibility
of exhausting all settlement funds while financial needs still exist.
An annuity that pays for life (the only financial product that does)
eliminates the worry of outliving one's income needs.
