A financial asset that is specifically designed to address the problem of outliving ones assets is called:
|
|
|
| D) | a guaranteed investment contract. |
|
Answer and Explanation
Life annuities are designed to pay income to the owner as long as the owner is alive. Therefore, unless the insurance company issuing the annuity fails and is unable to make the payments as promised, the annuitant cannot outlive their income.

Relative to a drawdown plan that is based upon an individuals life expectancy, if an individual only spends the real returns on their financial assets, their income will be:
| A) | larger, and the remaining estate will also be larger. |
|
| B) | larger, but the remaining estate will be smaller. |
|
| C) | smaller, and the remaining estate will be smaller. |
|
D) | smaller, but the remaining estate will be larger. |
|
Answer and Explanation
If an investor only spends the real returns on assets held, their income will be smaller than a plan based upon life expectancy. This is because a plan based upon life expectancy will also result in a drawdown of principal. However, since only the real returns are spent, the remaining estate will be larger than any plan that also draws down principal.
