18 - Sunday, November 16, 1986 - North Shore News PENSION PLANS Annuities solve From page 17 The majority of annuity business in Canada is written by mutual companies, wholly owned by the policy holders. The Superintendent of Insurance requires that all liabilities under annuity contracts be fully funded with assets of the highest quality deposited in trust with his department. Consequent- ly, a life annuity with a Canadian life insurance company is one of the safest contracts in the world. Annuity contracts are not for everyone. If you have enough cap- ital to live of f the income and leave it to your dependents, then an an- nuily is probably not for you. However, many people have limited resources in retirement and, without an annuity, they face the dilemma of how to stretch their capital over their remaining life- lime. With an annuity, this problem is solved. They will receive a higher income than they would from in- terest only and yet they know that, no matter how long they live, this income will continue. Annuities, properly used, have formed the basis of pension in- comes, large and small for genera- tions and will continue to provide them for generations to come.
