I'm wondering if anyone has ever experienced a loss of money when investing in an annuity. I'd like to understand the risks involved and if there are any real-life examples of people losing their investment in this type of financial product.

While annuities can offer a steady stream of income in retirement, investors should be aware of potential risks. One such risk is the financial stability of the issuing insurance company.

If an insurance company that has issued an annuity goes out of business, it may default on its obligation to pay out the promised income.

Regulatory bodies such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) provide oversight to ensure that insurance companies operate in a SAFE and sound manner.
