Fixed Index Annuity Rates Today
14.00% - Global Atlantic - Forethought Life Insurance Company, ForeAccumulation II Advisory, cap rate · S&P 500 · 1-yr point-to-point, AM Best A. Standard participation-rate and performance-trigger cohorts are shown separately below.
Fixed index annuity cap, participation, and performance-trigger metrics are pulled from CANNEX through AdvisorWorld and grouped before ranking by standard benchmark comparison cohort: same recognizable public index plus same crediting term, including 7 carriers in the featured cap cohort. Proprietary and volatility-controlled index strategies are shown separately for reference.

Standard benchmark FIA cap, participation, and performance-trigger cohorts
Standard rankings include recognizable public benchmark indexes only. Every sub-table ranks inside one comparison cohort: the same benchmark index and the same crediting term. Caps, participation rates, and performance triggers are separate metrics, so a high participation percentage is never ranked against a cap, declared trigger rate, or proprietary index strategy.

Source: CANNEX Financial Exchanges via AdvisorWorld, as of August 26, 2026. Each standard FIA table ranks one metric for recognizable public benchmark indexes within one comparison cohort: same index and same crediting term. Different crediting metrics and proprietary-index strategies are shown separately so the comparison remains like-for-like. Guarantees are backed by the issuing carrier's claims-paying ability, not FDIC insured.

How FIA crediting works
A fixed index annuity rate table only makes sense when the metric, index, and term travel together. The tables above enforce all three before assigning a rank.
Cap
The cap is the maximum credited index gain for the term. Standard cap strategies are ranked only inside their benchmark-index and term cohort, with the S&P 500 1-year cohort featured first.
Participation
The participation rate is the share of the index gain credited by the formula. Standard benchmark participation strategies are grouped by index and term before any rank is assigned.
Performance trigger
A performance trigger credits a fixed declared rate when the index return is at least zero. Standard benchmark trigger rates are ranked only against trigger strategies in the same cohort.
Spread, index, term
A spread reduces measured index gain. The index and crediting term define the measurement period, so every strategy labels the metric, index, and term together.

What is a fixed index annuity?
A fixed index annuity is an insurance contract that credits interest from an index formula while protecting the contract value from direct market losses. The crediting formula can use a cap, participation rate, performance trigger, spread, index, and crediting term.
What are fixed index annuity rates?
Fixed index annuity rates are the current crediting terms published for FIA strategies. A cap is the maximum credited index gain, a participation rate is the share of index gain credited, a performance trigger is a declared rate credited when the index return is at least zero, and a spread is deducted from index gain. Standard leaderboards include recognizable public benchmark indexes only, and each leaderboard compares strategies only inside the same index and crediting term.
What is an FIA cap?
An FIA cap is the maximum index-linked credit for a crediting period. The featured cap cohort is S&P 500 1-year annual point-to-point, so the ranking stays like-for-like.
What is a participation rate?
A participation rate is the percentage of an index gain credited by the contract formula. A 150% participation rate means the formula credits 150% of the measured gain before any other contract limits or charges.
What is a performance trigger?
A performance trigger credits a fixed declared rate for the crediting period whenever the measured index return is at least zero. It is its own FIA metric, not a cap, participation rate, or fixed-account rate.
Why are caps, participation rates, and triggers separated?
Caps, participation rates, and performance-trigger declared rates are different metrics. A 14% cap, a 150% participation rate, and a 6% trigger rate cannot be ranked in one column, and none should be ranked across different indexes or crediting terms. Proprietary and volatility-controlled indexes are also separated from standard benchmark rankings.
What is a comparison cohort?
A comparison cohort is one standard benchmark index family plus one crediting term, such as S&P 500 1-year annual point-to-point or Nasdaq-100 1-year. Strategies restart their rank inside each cohort.
Why are proprietary indexes shown separately?
Bank custom, volatility-controlled, smoothed, and excess-return index strategies can publish participation or trigger figures that are not directly comparable with standard benchmark-index rates. They are shown for reference, but they are excluded from the standard FIA rankings and structured rate list.
Sources and data: all fixed index annuity cap, participation, and performance-trigger metrics are sourced from CANNEX Financial Exchanges via AdvisorWorld, as of August 26, 2026. Standard rankings exclude proprietary and volatility-controlled indexes; reference strategies vary by state, premium band, issue age, index design, and crediting method. Rankings are cohort-specific and educational only - not advice, a quote, or a carrier-approved illustration.
