FIA sales highest of all annuity types
September 14, 2015 by Peggy Bresnick
Fixed indexed annuities (FIAs) constitute the highest share of annuity revenue. This is according to a survey of 542 independent agents, career agents, independent broker-dealers, independent financial planners, independent financial professionals, wirehouse/full service broker-dealer reps and bank financial advisors who responded to an online survey sponsored by Athene.
Seven in 10 respondents have sold one or more FIA products in the past year. Independent agents are far more likely to be associated with FIAs than other types of financial professionals.
