Key takeaways
From the NAIC Buyer’s GuideIndex interest formulas may use features such as participation rates, cap rates, and spread/margin rates, so credited interest may reflect only part of an index change. If the index goes down over the period, zero interest is added for that feature and annuity value will not go down from that index change as long as you do not withdraw the money. Fixed 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. Common indexing methods described in NAIC materials include annual reset (ratcheting), high-water mark, and point-to-point. The indexing method is the approach used to measure the amount of change, if any, in the index.
