Why Choose a Fixed Index Annuity?

Four compelling reasons to consider FIAs

πŸ›‘οΈ

Principal Protection

Your initial investment is 100% protected. Even if the market crashes 50%, you lose nothing. 0% floor means zero losses.

πŸ“ˆ

Market-Linked Growth

Participate in market index gains up to a cap rate (typically 8-11%). When the market goes up, you benefit. When it goes down, you don't.

πŸ’°

Tax-Deferred Compounding

Gains compound tax-deferred until withdrawal. No annual 1099s, no tax drag on growth. Pay taxes later when you need the income.

🌊

Optional Income Riders

Add a guaranteed lifetime income rider for future retirement income. Lock in growth for income calculations without losing liquidity.

When Do FIAs Make Sense?

Fixed index annuities work best for specific situations

βœ“

You Want Market Exposure Without Risk

Perfect if you're near retirement and want growth potential but can't afford market losses. You get 70-80% of market upside with zero downside.

βœ“

You Have 7-10 Years Until You Need the Money

FIAs work best when you can commit funds for the full term. Surrender charges decline over time, typically disappearing after 7-10 years.

βœ“

You're Maxed Out on Other Tax-Deferred Accounts

Already maxing 401(k) and IRA? FIAs offer unlimited tax-deferred growth without income limits or contribution caps.

βœ—

You Need Liquidity or Flexibility

FIAs have surrender charges if you withdraw more than 10% per year. If you might need the full amount sooner, stick with more liquid investments.

βœ—

You're Comfortable With Market Volatility

If you can handle 30-40% portfolio swings and have 20+ years until retirement, direct market investing may offer better long-term returns.
