I would not call this an investment. The purpose of an annuity is a guaranteed income stream. But in your case I guess the question is if the annuity earns x what percentage of x do I get and what do you get. Be sure your share does not include a return of the money you gave them. This money comes back to you tax free. Thus you want to know what is the taxable income you would get and how does that compare to what they get.
