From the NAIC Buyer’s GuideFixed indexed annuities are a type of fixed annuity that earn interest based on changes in a market index; the interest rate is guaranteed never to be less than zero, even if the market goes down. When you buy an indexed annuity, you are not investing directly in the market or the index. You usually have to pay a surrender or withdrawal charge if you take some or all of your money out of a deferred annuity during a stated period. Some contracts allow a limited free withdrawal each year (for example, 10% or less of account value). Fees, surrender charges, and any market value adjustment can reduce what you receive. Read the contract for how charges work in your state. Source: NAIC Buyer’s Guide for Deferred Annuities (2022). The guide does not endorse any company or policy.
