Fixed annuities for investors

Fixed annuities

What is a fixed annuity?

Fixed annuities are designed to help you avoid market losses and assure a return on your investment with a guaranteed minimum interest rate,1 along with tax-deferred* growth potential and—on some products—a standard death benefit.

  • Preserve your principal
  • Pursue guaranteed, tax-deferred growth
  • Plan for a lasting legacy

Our fixed annuities are designed to:

Protect your principal

Your money is not in the market, so your principal is safe from market downturns.

Guarantee your growth

A fixed-rate of return means your assets can continue to grow for the length of your contract. You can also defer taxes until you take income, leaving more money to grow.

Leave a legacy

Protect what you've earned and your loved ones' future with a death benefit.

Is a fixed annuity right for you?

A fixed annuity may be right for you if you're seeking predictable returns, a steady income option and tax-deferred growth potential without exposure to market fluctuations.

Is your portfolio as tax-efficient as it can be?

Use our tax deferral calculator to compare hypothetical outcomes between tax-deferred annuities and taxable accounts and explore how tax drag may affect long-term results.
 

Annuities are long-term, tax-deferred vehicles designed for retirement and are insurance contracts. Variable annuities and registered index-linked annuities involve investment risks and may lose value. Earnings are taxable as ordinary income when distributed. Individuals may be subject to a 10% additional tax for withdrawals before age 59½ unless an exception to the tax is met. 

Fixed annuities vs registered index annuities
Registered index-linked annuities

Our registered index-linked annuities allow you to pursue growth while also helping to protect your investment from unforseen market downturns.

*Tax deferral offers no additional value if an IRA or qualified plan, such as a 401(k), is used to fund an annuity and may be found at a lower cost in other investment products. It also may not be available if the annuity is owned by a legal entity such as a corporation or certain types of trusts.

Guarantees are backed by the claims-paying ability of Jackson National Life Insurance Company or Jackson National Life Insurance Company of New York.

Select up to a maximum of 99 investments and adjust options or allocations up to 25 times each contract year without transfer fees. To prevent abusive trading practices, Jackson restricts the frequency of transfers among variable investment options, including trading out of and back into the same subaccount within a 15-day period.

1The guaranteed minimum interest rate (GMIR) is guaranteed for the selected guaranteed option period of 3, 5, or 7 years and will be redetermined annually thereafter. The GMIR ranges from a minimum of 1% to a maximum of 3%.
