Tracking Variable Annuities moore.gg.comm 08-05-2007

I've had a life event where a pension plan is being paid out in two
lump sums. After consulting my financial adviser, I've decided my
best rollover option is a variable annuity. The annuity will be
invested into three funds. Whether the tracking involves 1 account or
3 doesn't matter to me.

Here's the question: how do I best track the investment. Quicken help
and other 'net resources indicate the options are to use asset
accounts or single mutual fund accounts. Has anyone else done this
already?

I'm after a quick list of pluses and minuses for each method.

Thanks...

Hi, moore.gg.

A very similar question came up here just a couple of weeks ago. You might
want to read that thread, Subject: Investment account annuitized?, started
by Steve on 7/23/07. I was not able to give Steve a definitive answer on
how to handle his annuity in Quicken, but you might gain something from our
discussion.

And maybe someone familiar with the current rules for annuities will chip in
and offer some better advice than I can give, since I've been retired for so
long.
