In annuity investments, the annuity owner is also called an investor. An insurance company is where an investor makes his payments or contributions. This payment could either be in a lump sum form or a series of many payments. The money that you invest will not be taxed until the company starts paying it back. This is what is meant by tax deferral. The stream of level payments that an insurance company will then pay back to the investor will depend on the annuity quotes, the annuity rate, and the type of annuity that you invested on.
