Things to Consider
While a fixed annuity can remove market risk from your returns, there are other risks to consider when deciding if a fixed annuity is for you.
- An annuity's "guarantee" is only as strong as the insurance company that issues the annuity. There may be state guarantees in the event of an insurance company's failure, but annuities are not guaranteed by the FDIC, SIPC or any other federal agency if the insurance company that issues the contract fails.
- Payments in a fixed annuity typically do not have cost-of-living adjustments to keep pace with inflation, so the value of the money you receive in your payments may decline over time. Annuities with inflation protection can be purchased but the cost, in general, is significantly higher.
- If there are changes to your fixed annuity and you want to withdraw your money early, you could incur surrender charges that cut into your returns.
