Hi there , I specializing in helping professionals navigate life's milestones with confidence. The question of whether to opt for annual payouts or let your Manulife ReadyPayout Plus policy accumulate is a common one I hear from clients, especially those nearing retirement.

Just last month, I worked with a couple in their late 50s who were unsure about how to structure their policy. By taking the time to understand their unique goals and financial situation, we were able to craft a payout strategy that balanced their desire for steady income with the power of compound growth. The peace of mind they now have is priceless.

Now, a lot of people think that taking the annual payouts is always the way to go. After all, who doesn't like the idea of a yearly "bonus"? But the reality is, there's no one-size-fits-all answer. It depends on your specific needs and objectives.

If you're someone who has immediate income needs or wants the discipline of forced withdrawals, then annual payouts might make sense. However, if you have the flexibility to let your money grow, the power of accumulation can be incredibly compelling, especially in a policy like ReadyPayout Plus.

By letting your returns compound over time, you're harnessing the most powerful force in investing. And with the potential for non-guaranteed dividends to further juice your returns, the growth potential is exciting.

Ultimately, the key is to have a clear understanding of your cash flow needs, both now and in the future. This is where working with an experienced financial consultant can be invaluable. We can help you stress test different scenarios and make informed tradeoffs.

Hi Sal,

​

This really depends on a few factors, some of which are:

  1. Do you need the money?
  2. What is the reinvestment rate?

Generally, if you reinvest it, you will have a larger sum of money to draw on if you ever need it than if you were to systematically withdraw and then spend every year. But of course this depends on your situation and so there's no 'correct' answer per say.

Can accumulate, if change mind should be able to pay out also....
