Variable Annuity Comparison

Depends on what type of Annuity you are in. Variable are in the market, and unless they have some sort of guarantee (most don’t) you are 100% at risk of losing. If it is a Fixed Annuity (they pay an interest rate) you are safe. Even if the company goes under or has problems, typically another insurance co will buy them and all their policies. If not, and worse case happens, they are back by the National Guarantee Assoc. You couldn’t be in a safer vehicle. Fixed annuities have been around since 1913 and have made it through the Great Depression.
