New Rate Certainty Annuity By American National Offers Market Upside

(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) HOUSTON, Nov. 19, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- American National Insurance Company announces the nationwide launch of the new Rate Certainty Annuity (RCA). The RCA is set to provide our distribution partners with a unique and simplified approach to annuities, combining the security of guaranteed rates with the benefit of capturing market upside.

“The fixed index annuity market has become increasingly complex,” said Chad Ferrell, Senior Vice President and Chief of Life and Annuity Distribution at American National.“This RCA cuts through the clutter by featuring just one index and three easy-to-understand trigger indexing strategies.”

Key benefits include:

• Simplicity: Unlike many fixed index annuities, this product focuses on a single index, the S&P 500 Dynamic Intraday TCA Index1, and offers only three clear and concise indexed crediting strategies. This makes it easier for both financial advisors and their clients to understand the features and potential returns.
• Certainty: As one of the few in the fixed index annuity market, the RCA guarantees the index parameters declared at issue for the entire duration of the contract. This eliminates the concern of fluctuating rates experienced with some traditional fixed index annuities.
• Innovation: The innovation behind the S&P 500 Dynamic Intraday TCA Index lies in its ability to offer exposure to the growth potential of the S&P 500 while simultaneously reducing volatility. This combination provides a compelling alternative for risk-averse investors who are looking for growth opportunities without the high levels of risk typically associated with market investments.
  

The Rate Certainty Annuity is available in 7, 10, and 20-year terms, allowing for long-term guaranteed parameters. With this new product, American National aims to solidify its position as a leader in the annuity market, providing clients with simple yet robust financial solutions that deliver long-term value.
