Understanding How Fixed Annuities Work

A fixed annuity is an insurance product that provides a guaranteed interest rate over a specific period. Unlike annuity options whose performance can vary based on other factors, a fixed annuity is designed around stable and predictable growth. This can make it appealing to individuals who place a greater emphasis on consistency and protecting their principal.
