Can I invest a resignation lump sum into a living annuity?


Question:

I have resigned in my job. Now I wanted to receive my lump sum cash after Taxi has been deducted. I want to buy Guaranteed or Live Annuity with R500 000-00 to invest for five years. HOW MUCH WILL I RECEIVE AS MYMONTHLY CASH INCOME ?

Answer:

Mbuzeni, You cannot invest a lump sum you have received on resignation into a living annuity. You also cannot buy a guaranteed annuity for 5 years, only a fixed term annuity. You must check with the life insurance companies selling these annuities to see what monthly income this will pay.
