Annuities
Who’s Who in an FIA?
How Fixed Indexed Annuities Work
An annuity contract involves up to four parties. They are the insurance company, the owner, the annuitant and, the beneficiary.
Insurance Company
This insurance company issues the annuity and the annuity guarantees are backed by the insurance company.
Contract Owner
The individual who purchases an annuity is the owner. Owners decide on beneficiaries for annuities.
Annuitant
The owner and annuitant are usually the same people, but not always. An annuitant’s life expectancy determines when and how much they will receive in benefits.
Beneficiary
In the event of the death of the annuitant, the death benefit will be paid to the beneficiary designated by the owner.
