AnnuityAdvanatge.com announced today that according to five year return data compiled by the Advantage Compendium, an annuity informational web site, fixed index annuities (http://www.annuityadvantage.com/equityindexed.htm) comes from a state's insurance commissioner, because it is a fixed interest insurance product. Even though a fixed index annuity's gains are tied to a stock market index, no individual's money is ever invested directly in the stock market. The issuing insurance company assumes all market risk and ensures contractual guarantees.
"A smart consumer should weigh the differences among the various fixed index annuity products being offered by insurance companies. Also, there are different restrictions on annuities
depending on the state that the consumer lives in, so it is integral for a consumer to be informed," says Nuss. AnnuityAdvantage.com provides a free annuity shopping service by searching
and comparing product offerings from dozens of insurance companies on behalf of the consumer. CEO Ken Nuss is licensed to sell insurance products in all 50 states and the District of
Columbia.
