Fixed Indexed Annuities (FIA): Safety, Growth, and Lifetime Income

Preparing for retirement doesn’t mean you have to expose your life savings to unnecessary risk. 

A Fixed Indexed Annuity (FIA) offers a balanced approach to retirement planning.


Who Issues FIAs?

Life Insurance Companies:.

These are the sole issuers. Major players include F&G, North American Company for Life and Health Insurance, and other large carriers.


Are They Only From Insurance Companies?

Yes, exclusively. 

An FIA is a contract with an insurance carrier, not a bank deposit or brokerage product. The insurance company guarantees the contract's terms and benefits, making their financial health a key factor for investors. 


How They Work (Briefly):

You pay premiums (lump sum or installments) to the insurer.

The insurer credits interest based on a market index (like the S&P 500) but with caps or participation rates, protecting your principal from losses.


The issuer backs these guarantees with its reserves. 

In essence, FIAs are a specialized insurance product designed for retirement, relying on the stability and claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company for their value and guarantees.


Why consider an FIA?
Principal Protection: Your premium is protected from market downturns. Even if the index performs negatively, your credited interest will never be less than zero.

Upside Potential: Earn interest credits based on the performance of an external market index (like the S&P 500), allowing you to benefit from market growth up to a cap or participation rate.

Tax-Deferred Growth: Your money grows faster because you don't pay taxes on the interest earnings until you withdraw them.

Guaranteed Income:
Convert your savings into a stream of guaranteed income that you cannot outlive—create your own personal pension.

Retire with confidence knowing your nest egg is secure.
