No. It is an insurance contract. Interest may be credited using an index-linked formula, but the owner is not directly invested in that index.
What does an annuity guarantee depend on?
Contract guarantees depend on the issuing insurer’s claims-paying ability and the specific contract terms, not FDIC insurance or the federal government.
How is fixed indexed annuities regulated in Alabama?
Insurance products, producer licensing, approved forms, replacement requirements, consumer protections, and complaint processes are governed at the state level. Product availability and exact requirements vary; verify current information with the Alabama Department of Insurance and the issued contract.
