I'm trying to search but can't find any. I'm looking for annuity products where you pay a lump sum (at say, age 60 or 65 or 70) and then receive level monthly payouts thereafter (or deferred until a pre-selected age) until death.

What I'm finding is a whole lot of retirement plans, but these are not pure life annuity products that I am looking for.

Forget about annuity plan. Just do it yourself. It's not that hard. Dump say RM100k into public bank or Maybank and continue collecting dividend until perpetually. It's a cheap DIY annuity vs what those insurance companies can sell you. All the commission and fees. Save the commission and fees and go out for nice makan with family.

annuities are cheaper (a lot cheaper if the pricing are competative) and more certain. Just take on additional risk of the provider going bankrupt.

Nah, I prefer to DIY my own plan. Don't forget about sales commission

that is true... for those of us who knows how to DIY and understands the difference. but common folks may not want to bother...

our way we still have the "principal" left for our descendants.

The traditional annuity will leave nothing upon death. Imagine buying one to start receiving income at age 60, but one kong at age 62. wasted.

I can DIY but I prefer to have one for backup too, cause life happens

For me I practice where my money is working the most efficiently. I have seen so many insurance savings plan/investment plan that cannot even beat EPF while my own investment beats EPF.

Another reason is why wait until xyz age then only payout happen? Better for me to have payout now and help reinvest and increase my future payout.

Third reason, I hate paying unnecessary commissions to middle man unless I can't help it.

If you really want one try moneyowl. They are not commission based so they can recommend you an unbiased product. But downside is likely have to travel down to sign all the required documents.

Anyway I leaned about DIY annuity from assi blog.
