Nationwide Defender Annuity
About Product
A registered index-linked annuity (RILA) is an individual single-purchase-payment deferred annuity and long-term savings option that limits exposure to downside risk and provides the opportunity for growth. It offers more growth potential than a fixed indexed annuity but less potential return and less risk than a variable annuity.
