Index annuity with 140% participation rate?SummaryIn this 0:22 Annuities Explained YouTube Short, Jeffrey Scott McLeod, LUTC, covers “Index annuity with 140% participation rate?.” What is a annuity with a participation rate? It is a fixed annuity that earns interest based on an external reference as referenced here in the buyer's guide. And that participation rate might be 70%. So if the index goes up by nine and your participation rate is 70, your Insurance education only—not securities advice. 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. Fixed annuities guarantee at least a minimum interest rate set by the insurer. Deferred annuities also differ by premium pattern and by fees and charges. Source: NAIC Buyer’s Guide for Deferred Annuities (2022). The guide does not endorse any company or policy.
