Fixed Rate Annuities

Fixed rate annuities make a great alternative to bank CD’s since they currently have a more favorable rate of return.  Fixed rate annuities are not guaranteed by the FDIC, however, in Illinois they are guaranteed by the Illinois Guarantee Fund and other states have similar arrangements. The most important factor when considering the fixed rate annuity is that you will leave the money in the account for the full term to avoid surrender penalties.  With that being said, the current rates as of 7/31/2014 are:

36 Month 1.90%

60 Month 3.00%

These rates are locked in for the term of the contract.
