Fixed Indexed Annuity (FIA): Growth Potential with Downside Protection
A fixed indexed annuity is designed for people who want to protect principal while keeping the potential for growth tied to an index (like the S&P 500) without direct market participation.
Key benefits
- Principal protection (subject to contract guarantees)
- Tax-deferred growth
- Index-linked crediting strategies
- Optional income riders for lifetime income (if available and suitable)
Where it can fit in retirement income planning
FIAs can help support a guaranteed income strategy when you pair them with a lifetime income rider or other income provisions. They can also complement bond-like allocations when rates are uncertain.
