How Do Fixed Indexed Annuities Work?

Fixed index annuities or FIAs, are insurance contracts that can provide retirement income.  Payments are determined by the performance of an index, such as the S&P 500. Fixed index annuities can help you find the right approach to achieve your retirement goals.

The Main Roles of Fixed Indexed Annuities

Generally, there are four parties involved in fixed index annuities contracts:
Insurance Company

Annuities are issued by life insurance companies. And, the life insurance company guarantees the annuity.

Contract Owner

A contractor owner is the person who buys an annuity.

Annuitant

Often, owners and annuitants are the same people, but this is not always the case.

Beneficiary

The beneficiary is the person who receives your death benefit when you pass away.
