Hybrid Indexed Annuities

  • designed for investors willing to accept limited risk of principal loss
  • may offer higher annual maximum interest potential than Equity Indexed Annuities in exchange for exposure to some degree of potential downside risk
  • depending on the contract, potential annual losses may be limited to a stated maximum percentage, or some percentage of the total decrease in the index may be covered by the annuity company, with the remainder charged to the contract value
  • may be free of annual contract or investment fees
  • surrender charges and/or market value adjustments may apply to withdrawals for a specified number of years after contract issue
  • annuity contracts usually allow a portion of the contract value (typically 5%-10%) to be withdrawn each year, without surrender charges
  • annuities are issued by life insurance companies, and are not guaranteed by FDIC insurance. Annuity guaranteed values are backed by the claims-paying capacity of the issuing insurer (click here for links to information about insurer safety).
  • state insurance guarantee associations may provide protection in the event that an individual insurer is unable to fully honor their contractual obligations to an annuitant (click here for more information).
