More questions people ask
What is the downside of a fixed index annuity?
Gains are limited by caps, participation rates or spreads, so you won't get the full index return. Most have surrender charges for the first several years, and withdrawals before age 59½ may face a 10% IRS penalty. Optional income riders usually carry a yearly fee.
Can you lose money in a fixed index annuity?
Your principal and credited interest are protected from index losses, subject to the claims-paying ability of the insurer. You can still lose money through surrender charges if you withdraw more than the free amount early, or through rider fees.
Who is a fixed index annuity a good fit for?
People near or in retirement who want growth potential without market losses, tax-deferred growth, and the option of income they can't outlive. It is usually money you won't need for the length of the surrender period.
