The Safety of Fixed Indexed Annuities All fixed annuities are backed by the claims paying ability of the insurance company offering them. The insurance companies are subject to strict guidelines established by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners and must strive to conservatively invest the premium funds to provide a minimum return. Additionally individual states may require insurance companies doing business in their state to contribute to the Life and Health Guarantee Association, which may help should an insurance company fail to meet the obligations of their contract holders, up to the guidelines published by the state.
