FAQs

Web-enabled deliverables without enterprise strategic theme areas our land backward-compatible process improvements

  • What is an FIA in simple terms?

An insurance contract that protects principal from market losses while crediting interest based partly on an external index.

  • Do FIAs invest directly in the market?

No. Interest is credited per contract formulas (caps/spreads/participation), not market ownership.

  • Are FIAs right for everyone?

No. Suitability depends on goals, time horizon, liquidity needs, and risk tolerance.

  • What about surrender periods and liquidity?

FIAs have surrender schedules; most allow limited free withdrawals. We’ll review your liquidity needs first.

  • Can FIAs provide lifetime income?

Often via optional income riders (additional cost; availability varies).

  • How often can rates change?

Typically at renewal periods. Carriers disclose their methods and history.

  • What are the tax considerations?

Growth is tax-deferred; withdrawals may be taxable and may incur penalties before 59½. Consult your tax professional.

  • Can I roll over a 401(k) or IRA into an FIA?

Usually yes, using the proper rollover process.

  • How much should I put into an FIA?

Only an amount that aligns with your plan, horizon, and liquidity—often a portion, not all assets.

  • How do I compare FIAs?

We’ll show side-by-side illustrations, index options, charges, liquidity, and rider features.
