How Indexed Annuities Keep Your Savings Safe

How Indexed Annuities Keep Your Savings Safe

This video explains how indexed annuities link interest to a market index while protecting principal. We compare equity-indexed annuities and fixed indexed annuities—similar concepts with important differences in crediting methods and contract language—against registered index-linked annuities (RILAs), which offer defined downside with buffers or floors. You’ll see how caps, spreads, and participation rates shape returns without direct stock ownership.

If you’re a U.S. pre-retiree or retiree seeking steadier growth than CDs with protection from market losses, this is for you. It’s helpful if you want predictable outcomes for IRA rollovers or non-qualified savings, or if you’re evaluating an income rider. You might not benefit if you need full, penalty-free liquidity, want unlimited market upside, or prefer managing investments directly with ETFs.

Primary keywords included naturally: indexed annuities, equity indexed annuity, fixed indexed annuity, registered index-linked annuity, RILA, index-linked annuities, participation rate, cap rate, spread, floor, buffer.

Secondary keywords discussed for context: annual reset, point-to-point crediting, S&P 500 index annuity, index annuity fees, surrender charges, annuity income rider comparison, fixed annuity vs indexed annuity, variable vs indexed annuity, pros and cons of indexed annuities.

You’ll learn how each design protects principal or limits risk, how crediting formulas work, the real trade-offs in fees and liquidity, when an income rider makes sense, and how to choose between equity-indexed, fixed indexed, and RILA structures based on risk tolerance and time horizon.
