Term covers a set period at lower cost; permanent aims for lifetime coverage with potential cash value.

Often yes, within the policy’s conversion window and rules.

Policies include a grace period. Contact us/carrier immediately to avoid lapse.
-
What is an FIA in simple terms?
An insurance contract that protects principal from market losses while crediting interest based partly on an external index.
-
Do FIAs invest directly in the market?
No. Interest is credited per contract formulas (caps/spreads/participation), not market ownership.
-
Are FIAs right for everyone?
No. Suitability depends on goals, time horizon, liquidity needs, and risk tolerance.
-
What about surrender periods and liquidity?
FIAs have surrender schedules; most allow limited free withdrawals. We’ll review your liquidity needs first.
-
Can FIAs provide lifetime income?
Often via optional income riders (additional cost; availability varies).
-
How often can rates change?
Typically at renewal periods. Carriers disclose their methods and history.
-
What are the tax considerations?
Growth is tax-deferred; withdrawals may be taxable and may incur penalties before 59½. Consult your tax professional.
-
Can I roll over a 401(k) or IRA into an FIA?
Usually yes, using the proper rollover process.
-
How much should I put into an FIA?
Only an amount that aligns with your plan, horizon, and liquidity—often a portion, not all assets.

How do I compare FIAs?
We’ll show side-by-side illustrations, index options, charges, liquidity, and rider features.
