FIXED INDEX ANNUITIES HELP HEDGE AGAINST INFLATION

 

Offer downside protection to your clients — with an EquiTrust FIA

It’s all over the news — inflation, market volatility, high interest rates, increased consumer prices. There’s a lot of financial uncertainty in the air, and your clients may be looking for protected ways to meet their goals for retirement.

 

We can help you be the champion they’re looking for during tough economic times. Fixed index annuities (FIAs), like the variety of options from EquiTrust, are designed to offer:

  • Upside growth potential
  • Downside protection
  • Guaranteed2 minimum rate of return
  • Liquidity
  • Tax advantages

The U.S. inflation rate was 8.20% as of Sept. 2022, compared to 8.26% the previous month and 5.39% last year. This is significantly higher than the long-term average of 3.27%.1 

Plus, products with our optional Income Benefit Rider (IBR) provide income for life, even if the annuity’s Accumulation Value declines to zero, assuming no excess withdrawals. An FIA can help ensure your clients have the money they need to enjoy retirement.

 

Use this piece with clients to demonstrate the power of FIAs and their downside protection in times of market loss and volatility.
