An FIA is a fixed annuity that, according to the Insured Retirement Instituteâs report, credits a minimum guaranteed rate of interest over a fixed number of years, plus additional interest that may be credited based on the percentage change in the value of a broad market index.
This is the #1 rule in investing! Having a principal guarantee makes fixed indexed annuities much safer than stocks, bonds, mutual funds, 401(k) plans and variable annuities, which do NOT have a principal guarantee.
