Fixed Index Annuities
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
A fixed index annuity (FIA) is a tax-friendly product whose annual growth is benchmarked to a stock market index (such as Nasdaq, NYSE, S&P 500) instead of an interest rate. While it does bear the risk of a stock market decline, a client cannot lose any principal; many FIAs also offer premium bonuses.
An important advantage to this kind of annuity is that earnings grow on a tax-deferred basis — meaning no income taxes are paid until money is withdrawn. In addition, an FIA is a very safe option because the premium and earnings are guaranteed by the issuing insurance company.
Other benefits include:
Potentially higher interest rates
Withdrawals satisfy the Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) for retirees over 70½ years of age
Ability to create probate-free inheritance
