How does an equity indexed annuity differs from other annuities?

In: Annuities, Retirement Planning [Edit categories]

Answer:

It differs from other annuities in the fact that it follows a market index. Usually the S&P 500. The amount of interest you earn is not fixed, but can vary depending on market conditions. You can enjoy gains from the stock market, but take minimal losses.
