We often get calls or emails asking for a copycat annuity quote.
First of all, a copycat annuity is your pension paid to you the same as your company would pay you BUT the pension is paid by a Canadian insurance company, not your employer.
So, the call goes something like this: “I just got my paperwork. Can you get me a quote on a copycat?”
My first question: “Is this your final pension statement or just an estimate?”
I’m often told that the paperwork is an estimate.
So, here’s the thing. An estimate will get you an estimate.
I can estimate that you’ll get a nice “cash surplus” and add that I just delivered one for over $78,000.
But I cannot tell you how much you’ll get. That only comes from your final statement.
Bond rates change every day. So what good is it to pretend to quote you a valid number if tomorrow that will change.
Let me reiterate: a quote can ONLY come from your final statement.
