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.
Fixed annuities deposits are long term assets so insurers can invest for long term yields. Fixed annuity rates, on average, tend to be a little higher than corresponding rates on CDS. This is because a bankâs loan portfolio is likely to be more interest rate sensitive than the bond portfolio of an insurer.
