Benefits of Fixed Indexed Annuities

Fixed indexed annuities (FIAs) address many basic retirement concerns: protection of hard-earned dollars, tax-deferred growth, balance, and lifetime income.

Get some peace of mind — no matter what happens in the market. Consider these five key benefits:

Guaranteed Income Stream

With Americans living longer and spending more time in retirement, many retirees are concerned about outliving their savings. In turn, they are searching for a product that can help ensure a steady income stream. Fixed indexed annuities (FIAs) are designed with guaranteed lifetime income so you can never outlive your earnings.

Diversification of Portfolio

A balanced portfolio is essential for managing risk and reward in the financial markets. Designed for the long term, fixed indexed annuities (FIAs) are a great retirement vehicle to ensure you are not putting all your eggs in one basket. FIAs offer the ability to make some money, without the risk of losing it.

Principal is Secure

Even with market volatility, investors will not lose value on their fixed indexed annuities (FIAs). Your savings aren’t exposed to market fluctuations, so even in a negative market return, interest credited will never fall below zero. You can never lose your interest once it’s credited to your principal.

Predictable Earnings

Because fixed indexed annuities (FIAs) offer predictable income, Americans feel more comfortable when withdrawing funds from these retirement vehicles, as opposed to an IRA or 401(k). Choosing an FIA is an efficient way to plan for your future, as your interest earnings rate always remains somewhere between the interest rate floor and the cap. In turn, no matter what happens in the market, you can count on payments throughout your golden years.

Tax-Deferred Growth

Fixed indexed annuities (FIAs) offer long-term tax-deferred savings. As long as your money stays in the annuity, you will not be taxed on interest earnings. Once you receive a payout, the annuity is taxed as ordinary income.
