FAQ

Will I lose access to my money?

No, you’re not giving up access to your savings.

Most fixed indexed annuities allow you to withdraw a portion of your money each year without penalties. They’re designed for long-term planning, but you still maintain flexibility. Before anything is put in place, we make sure you keep sufficient liquidity outside the annuity so you’re never stuck.

Are my funds locked up for years?

Fixed indexed annuities are built for long-term retirement planning, which means they do have a surrender period. However, that period is fully disclosed upfront — and we only position money you don’t plan on needing immediately. You’ll know exactly how it works before making any decision.

What if the market does really well and I miss out?

A fixed indexed annuity isn’t designed to capture 100% of market gains. It’s designed to give you growth potential without market losses.

Many people use it for a portion of their portfolio to reduce overall volatility — not to replace growth investments entirely.

It’s about balance and protection.

Are there fees?

Many fixed indexed annuities have no annual management fees. Some optional income riders may have costs, but everything is clearly outlined in the contract before you move forward. There are no hidden surprises — you’ll understand exactly how it works.

What happens if the insurance company fails?

ixed indexed annuities are issued by insurance companies and backed by their financial strength. We work with highly rated carriers — many with 50–100+ years of history and strong financial ratings. While no financial product is completely risk-free, carrier strength is a major part of the selection process.
