Fixed indexed and deferred annuity rates FAQ
No. Your guaranteed interest rate stays the same. But taking money out before your term ends can still cost you.
You may have to pay an early withdrawal fee, known as a surrender charge. Plus, because you have less money in your account, you’ll earn less interest over time.
The interest rate credited to your account is based on the performance of the S&P 500 Market Index over a particular time period. Dividends aren't included.
If the percentage of the change is positive, we'll credit that percentage to your account up to a maximum amount, which is called the cap rate. If the S&P 500 Market Index hasn't gone up, your account value remains the same.
Any interest you earn gets reinvested automatically, so your account keeps growing. You won’t pay taxes on that interest until you withdraw it or start receiving payments from your annuity.
No. Funding happens 1 time when you open the annuity. You can't add more money later.
