English

Subject field(s)
  • Pensions and Annuities
  • Insurance
DEF

A payment of money under a contract commencing at a predetermined time or event and made annually or at more frequent intervals, either during the continuance of a given life or a combination of lives, or for a specified number of years.

OBS

In federal government texts, the term "pension" is often used as a synonym for "annuity."

French

Domaine(s)
  • Pensions et rentes
  • Assurances
DEF

Somme payable périodiquement en contrepartie de l'aliénation d'un capital constitué par des cotisations de retraite ou des primes d'assurance.

OBS

Dans l'administration publique fédérale, on préfère utiliser le terme «pension».

OBS

«Annuité», dans le langage technique comme dans la langue courante, désigne une somme versée annuellement, destinée à constituer un capital ou à éteindre une dette. Il ne faut pas confondre ce terme avec «rente» qui est un revenu qu'on touche annuellement. L'emploi de «annuité» comme équivalent de «annuity» dans le sens anglais de versement périodique servi à une personne en échange d'un capital aliéné, est fautif.
