What can a FIA do for you?

Protection from loss due to market downturns

Lifetime income option

Tax deferral on growth

How do FIAs work?

FIAs are powered by the crediting strategy you choose. For most FIAs, a crediting strategy is made up of three parts.

number one Term

How long do you want the strategy to last? Every FIA is different, but you’ll generally choose a term from one to 7 years.

number two Crediting method

This refers to how your interest credits are calculated and is generally either a fixed rate or a point-to-point method.

number three Index

This is the market index your growth is based on. While your money is not invested directly in the index, you do receive index credits based partly on how the index performs.

Is a FIA right for you?

  • You want access to at least a portion of your money, without incurring a Withdrawal Charge, if you need it.
  • You want to leave a legacy for your loved ones.
  • You want the opportunity for growth potential, tax-deferred growth and protection from loss during volatile markets.
