- Common questions
A Useful Review Starts With the Contract, Not A Conclusion.
No. An existing contract may contain valuable guarantees, income benefits or surrender terms. A replacement or exchange should be considered only after comparing the existing contract with available alternatives, including costs, benefits, risks and tax consequences.
Depending on the contract, current declared rates, caps, participation rates, spreads, available index options, income factors and carrier offerings may differ. Your contractual guarantees do not change simply because newer products or rates exist.
Access depends on the contract. Free-withdrawal provisions, surrender charges, market value adjustments, rider rules, required minimum distributions and tax treatment should be reviewed before taking money out.
Annuity guarantees are obligations of the issuing insurance company and depend on its claims-paying ability. They are not bank deposits and are not insured by the FDIC or NCUA. State guaranty association protections vary and should not be used as a sales inducement.
