The power of a fixed index annuity
Every retirement is different, each with its own financial plan and unique needs, but many of today’s retirement goals include achieving asset protection, growth opportunities and a reliable income source. Fixed index annuities are a long-term retirement product that have helped many Americans plan for income in retirement and balance their retirement portfolios.
What is a fixed index annuity?
For people saving for retirement, fixed index annuities can provide a powerful combination of benefits that allow for potential index-linked growth, principal protection, tax-deferred growth and guaranteed income over a specific period of time – including the option for lifetime income.
The benefits of fixed index annuities:
- Protection of principal in down years and growth opportunities in up years
- Tax-deferred growth until a withdrawal is made
- Ability to choose from a variety of index strategies that are used to calculate interest
- Liquidity that offers access to a percentage of funds
- May avoid probate to help create a legacy for beneficiaries
- Guaranteed income that cannot be outlived with the Lifetime Income Benefit Rider*

Possible interest credits for money allocated to an index-linked crediting strategy are based upon performance of the specific index; however, fixed index annuities are not an investment, but an insurance product, and do not directly invest in the stock market or the index itself.
Features and benefits may vary by product and state. Please review the contract or product disclosure for more information.
Annuities are products of the insurance industry and are not guaranteed by any bank or insured by the FDIC.
Guarantees are based on the financial strength and claims paying ability of American Equity.
