An annuity contract used to fund a qualified employer-sponsored retirement arrangement should be considered for its features and benefits other than tax deferral. For such cases, tax deferral is not an additional benefit of the annuity. The relative features, benefits and costs of an annuity should be considered alongside with any other investment that one may have in connection with his or her retirement plan or arrangement.
