Many people think that it is better to buy a life annuity that provides a refund. They were not aware that there is a cost to the refund. An annuity with a refund can pay out 10% to 20% less in payout, for a given invested sum.
An annuitant who bought a "with refund" annuity previously asked me if it is possible to convert to a "no refund" annuity. She has no dependents and wish to have a higher payout.
I expect, in the future, more people to opt for the "no refund" annuity.
