Available Products

Through our annuity carrier relationships, AIP Marketing Alliance supports multiple annuity products for our independent wholesalers and agents. Based on your client needs, AIPMA can direct you toward:

• Fixed Indexed Annuities (FIA): A FIA ties the determination of credited interest to a market index; S&P for example. The FIA’s principal and interest already credited is not subject to loss from market downturns.
• Single Premium Immediate Annuity (SPIA): A SPIA skips the accumulation stage and begins paying out income either immediately or within a year after your client purchased the SPIA with a single, lump-sum payment. Clients also can make larger contributions without the limitations of similar retirement plans (i.e., 401(k), IRA).
• Multi-Year Guaranteed Annuity (MYGA): A MYGA works like a bank CD with a guaranteed rate of return for a specific period with tax-deferred earnings. MYGAs are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) but guaranteed by life insurance companies. A MYGA also can provide a death-benefit for your clients’ beneficiaries.

An annuity is the only financial product that can guarantee lifetime income. Without a limit on annual contributions to an annuity, clients can place money into an annuity to defer paying taxes on their contributions until a disbursement is taken. Your clients also can take a lump-sum payment or schedule guaranteed payments for a specific length of time for a steady stream of income.

Each client’s situation is different. AIPMA also provides an experienced Business Development team to discuss product differences, answer questions, and generate illustrations to help you show annuity product options to your clients.
