The Power of Tax Deferral
Fixed Index Annuities (FIAs)
Fixed Index Annuities (FIAs) are on the rise. Sales have doubled in the last 10 years to $54.6 billion in 2015 and the momentum is continuing in 2016 with 31 billion in sales just through the second quarter. BSMG offers the most client-centric FIAs. This means we are more selective with carrier financial strength, product transparency and product liquidity. More top advisors are selling FIAs due to fixed rates remaining low and clients wanting the higher growth potential with principal protection.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
ABOUT FIXED INDEXED ANNUITIES
FIAs are fixed annuity products. The client’s deposit is inside the general account of the insurer, not in the market.
- The rate of return for any crediting period can never be less than zero.
- Interest is credited on the anniversary date.
- Most commonly, interest is credited every year, but some products credit less frequently (every 2 or more years).
- Interest credited is a portion of the positive return of an index such as the S&P 500 index, not including dividends
- Most FIAs offer a few different crediting methods and more than one index.
THE BENEFITS
OF A FIXED ANNUITY
Fixed and Fixed Index Annuities hold a very important place on the risk/reward spectrum. As the investor’s risk tolerance wanes, Fixed Annuities protect against the market risk. There are no negative performance years. The benefits include:
- Clients are guaranteed a fixed rate of interest for one or more years.
- Principal protection – backed by the full faith and credit of the issuer.
- Higher fixed returns than other fixed vehicles, such as money markets or CDs.
- Tax-deferred growth.
- Probate avoidance.
- No RMDs (NQ $ only).
- No annual fee.
- Penalty-free partial withdrawals and death benefits.
