Depending on the rates of the SPIA, a better payout of guaranteed income.

The SPIA will generate income for either a period certain or the insured's life. A bond will always have a maturity date at which the guaranteed payments will end and current rates will be used to determine a new income stream.

If the funds are non qualified the annuity will use the exlusion ratio in the income payout, which will decrease the taxability of the income.
