Frequently asked questions
Do FIA rates in Florida differ from other states?
Yes — carriers price caps, participation rates, and bonuses differently by state. A licensed Florida advisor can pull current illustrations that reflect what's actually available to Bradenton, FL residents today.
Can I lose money in a fixed indexed annuity?
In a typical year where the index is negative, your credited interest for that period is 0% — your principal isn't reduced by market losses. Fees, riders, and surrender charges can still reduce contract value, so review the contract carefully.
How long is my money tied up?
Surrender schedules commonly run 5, 7, or 10 years. Most contracts allow 10% annual free withdrawals. Your advisor will walk you through the surrender schedule before you commit.
Are FIAs a good fit for everyone?
No. FIAs are designed for retirees who want principal protection and are comfortable with capped upside in exchange for downside protection. A local advisor can compare them to fixed annuities, MYGAs, and other options.
