Disclosure
Research Cited- The State of Lifetime Income: Participant Survey, conducted by Allianz in November 2024 with a nationally representative sample of 2,488 respondents aged 18+ who are currently contributing to an employer-sponsored retirement plan.
Fixed index annuities are designed to meet long-term needs for retirement income. They provide guarantees against the loss of principal and credited interest and the reassurance of a death benefit for beneficiaries.
Increasing income potential may be provided through either built-in or optional riders that may be at an additional cost.
With the purchase of any additional-cost riders, a fixed index annuity contract's values will be reduced by the cost of the rider. This may result in a loss of principal and interest in any year in which the contract does not earn interest or earns interest in an amount less than the rider charge.
Guarantees are backed solely by the financial strength and claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company.
