Episode #185: A Complete Guide to Fixed Index Annuity Cap and Spread Renewals


 

If you're in search of a long-term financial product, a fixed indexed annuity (FIA) offers you tax-deferred growth potential and the reassurance of a death benefit for your beneficiaries, as well as a guaranteed stream of income in retirement. When you purchase an FIA, the insurance company is going to issue and guarantee a cap, spread, and fixed interest rate for the contract's year. This process occurs each year- the insurance company declares and guarantees a new cap, spread, and fixed interest rate. What determines those cap and spread and participation rate renewals?

In this episode of Money Script Monday, Sean highlights the tax-deferred growth potential behind a fixed index annuity and discusses the 3 main factors insurance companies use to determine a policy’s cap, spread, and renewal rates.
