In which situation would an immediate annuity be most appropriate?

Before retirement
Upon receipt of large insurance proceeds
During periods of unemployment
When purchasing a home

The correct answer is: Upon receipt of large insurance proceeds

An immediate annuity is designed to start providing income right away, typically within one payment period after a lump sum payment is made. This financial product is particularly suitable for individuals who need to convert a large sum of money into a predictable income stream immediately. When a person receives a large sum of insurance proceeds, they often seek a reliable way to manage and utilize that money effectively, particularly if they require ongoing income to cover living expenses or any other financial commitments. An immediate annuity can provide that consistent income right after the payment is made, ensuring that funds are protected and available for their needs without delay. In other contexts, such as before retirement or during unemployment, individuals might prioritize growth or accumulation of funds rather than immediate income. Similarly, while purchasing a home may involve significant financial decisions, it usually focuses on ownership and capital expenditure rather than the immediate need for regular income.
