From the NAIC Buyer’s Guide
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.
When you start income, annuity payout options can include payments for life, for a period certain, or combinations described in the contract. The 2022 guide lists payout options and questions to ask before you buy.
The 2022 NAIC Buyer’s Guide for Deferred Annuities explains that an annuity is a contract with an insurance company. With an annuity, the insurer promises to pay income on a regular basis for a period you choose—including the rest of your life.
