Annuity sales and life sales can feed off each other. Once and individual has accumulated about $200,000, he can use the interest or up to 10 percent of withdrawals to fund a life insurance policy. Not only can this increase his living benefit at retirement by way of tax-deferred growth, but in the event of death, the beneficiary receives the proceeds of the life policy tax free in addition to the annuity balance. This idea helps me in the tax-sheltered annuity market to fund pension maximization for retiring teachers. It serves both situations quite well.
