Fixed index annuity review and rates

Growth Pathway 5

Growth Pathway Fixed Index Annuity is an insurance product that offers protection for your money against a market downturn—with the opportunity for it to capture gains. It enables you to earn interest based on the performance of a specific market index, or a combination of indexes. 
  • Market Downside Protection – Your gains are locked in each year, meaning you can’t lose any of your payments or any credited interest due to market downturns or sudden market swings. 
  • Tax-deferred growth – You’ll have access to crediting strategies to help your money grow - four index options and one fixed account option. You can diversify your annuity by choosing one or a combination of strategies. And you won’t pay taxes on gains until you withdraw them. And the combination of compounded gains and a potentially lower tax bracket after you retire can help make your retirement savings go farther.
