Annuities
FIXED ANNUITIES
Interest is set by the insurance company for a period of time.
FIXED INDEX ANNUITIES
Interest is credited based on the change of an index, such as the S&P 500. Because money is not actually invested in the index, there is never a risk of loss due to market fluctuations.
IMMEDIATE ANNUITIES
With an immediate annuity or SPIA, the insurance company will begin a guaranteed fixed income payment within a year from the contract issue. The client can choose a guaranteed lifetime payment, or typically a payment as short as 5 years, depending on their personal goals.
