Increasing interest rates will have widespread effects in the Fixed Annuity world.

The obvious: Higher accumulation rates are just better in general for business. As a broader client base becomes available, there will be a natural increase in interest in fixed annuities. Fixed Annuities will continue to attract the most risk-averse investors, but we will also see interest from those willing to take a chance for a few extra percentage points of yield. Furthermore, existing clients will be easier to retain at the conclusion of the term because the agent will be able to give them even better rates than the first sale. This results in a happier client.

Less known: Shorter term or no surrender product can be reintroduced or created.

Agent commissions can and have increased.

More client friendly features will be available at the most competitive rates.

Immediate Annuity internal rate of return (IRR) will increase. When compared to other income 'now' options, the SPIA will be a true contender.
