Summary

LIMRA and the Society of Actuaries (SOA) Research Institute have completed the most up-to-date study of fixed indexed annuity policyholder behavior. Twelve companies contributed data to this Study, which encompasses about 4.8 million surrender exposure by contract count, $526 billion surrender exposure by contract value, over 227,000 surrenders, and $15.9 billion in withdrawals in the 2021 to 2022 observation years.

The results include comparisons to several expected bases of policyholder behavior, including the current valuation standard, and can be used by actuaries in the management of their own fixed indexed annuity business.
