If that's an honest question, you'll need to be more specific.

When I asked that, it just said "actuaries". Based on the time of the last edit, I can only assume that you edited it before I actually posted.

Instead of offering annuities they could just put that money into the stock market.

They're not mutually exclusive. I would assume they'd invest the money they're holding. I guess it needs to be a little more complicated if you add that you don't mind a chance of them losing some of your money, but it can still be done.

Yes, sorry, I realized quickly after I posted that "Actuaries" was both inaccurate and unhelpful.

And it's much more complicated.
