Fixed Indexed Annuities
Fixed Indexed Annuities are used for many things:
- For Downside Market Loss Protection and with Upside Accumulation Potential
- Income for Life that you can’t outlive
- Passing on Money to your loved ones at death
If you like the idea of upside potential with downside protection than an indexed annuity may be for you. Indexed Annuities are also referred to as fixed indexed annuities, because they have safety of a fixed annuity but with greater potential to accumulate interest. These annuities are linked to an index for example the S&P 500, Shiller Barclays Cape US, BNP Paribas, Russell 2000, a Global Blend, or some other index or combination of indices. The annuity company will credit interest based on which index the annuity is linked to. If the index was positive during the interest crediting period, than the indexed annuity will have positive interest credited. If the index is negative then no interest will be crediting, and this is where the downside protection applies from a built in floor.This way the value of your annuity won’t decrease in value. Any interest that is earned is locked in and this will be your new starting point for the next interest crediting period. Interest crediting periods can rang from 1, 2,3, or even 5 years depending on the annuity. If you were to withdrawal 100% of your money out of your annuity before the term is up then a surrender penalty would apply. With the ups and downs of the stock market, many of people are tired of hoping they will recover what they have lost when the market goes down.
