A fixed index annuity is an insurance contract that credits interest based on the performance of a market index, such as the S&P 500, while protecting your principal from direct market losses. It is designed for long-term retirement planning, not short-term investing. Many contracts also offer optional lifetime income riders, tax-deferred growth, and withdrawal provisions that must be reviewed carefully before purchase.
