With a guaranteed annuity growing at 2% year over year, it's your local inflation that you should be worried about.
If your annuity is denominated in USD, and your local currency differs, you should also worry about the currency conversion rate.
But, in the last decade, USD's relative worth has only grown compared to most major other currencies. A mercantillist US (tarrifs) will make foreign accessibility to USD harder, so I expect USD to further increase compared to other currencies.
Thank you for the answer! I get paid in USD.
What are the chances that the company servicing my annuity goes bankrupt? My annuity is guaranteed, but I'm not really sure what that means in the scheme of things.
Will depend on that company. Probably an insurance company?
Yep, one of the top 10 in the US
