4 Types of Annuities

  • Variable
  • Fixed Index
  • Traditional Fixed
  • Immediate

Annuities are insurance products that may be subject to restrictions, surrender charges, holding periods, or early withdrawal fees which vary by carrier. Riders are generally optional and have an additional associated cost.  Annuity guarantees and protections are backed by the financial strength and claims paying ability of the issuing insurer. Annuities are not a deposit of nor are they insured by any bank, the FDIC, NCUA, or by any federal government agency.

The interest credited on your contract may be affected by the performance of an external index. However, your contract does not directly participate in the index or any equity or fixed interest investments. You are not buying shares in an index. The index value does not include the dividends paid on any equity investments underlying any equity index or any interest paid on any fixed income investments underlying any bond index. These dividends and interest are not reflected in the interest credited to your contract.
