The Annuity Ace Lite - Program Overview
The Annuity Ace is a financial software program designed with ease and
flexibility in mind. It comes complete with a variety of financial tools
for calculating Deferred, Immediate and Split Annuities. It also contains
Calculators for solving for missing values. Each financial tool contains a
variety of options to allow maximum flexibility.
The Deferred Annuity tool allows variable deposit modes, deposits,
withdrawals, interest rates and compounding methods with or without loads.
Professional reports can be generated with varying detail. Special options
are available to illustrate the time value of compounding, the impact of
taxes on savings, the effect of loads, the effect of inflation, the effect
of obtaining higher interest rate, and the ability to illustrate what is
required to accumulate a target sum of money by a target age.
The Immediate Annuity tool allows variable payout modes and compounding
methods. Professional schedules are produced. A Split Annuity option
is available that produces both a professional schedule and chart.
Illustrations can be viewed on the screen or sent to a printer or a file.
The Annuity Ace is a menu driven program that also contains an on-line
manual and individual help for each input to allow the user to easily
navigate and understand the program. Information can be saved and
retrieved. The Annuity Ace provides several miscellaneous configuration
options for setting the program up to your individual liking.

What is Shareware?
Shareware is a marketing concept in which copyrighted software products
are distributed by allowing and encouraging duplication of the program
for evaluation by interested parties. As a recipient of a shareware
program, you are granted the right to use the program for a short period
to determine if it meets your needs. The program developer receives
payment from the users after they have determined that the product meets
their needs. The motivation for making payment for a shareware program
is honest payment for a valuable tool, desire for support, updates,
enhancements and documentation, and to help encourage shareware authors
to produce additional quality programs.
