Do fixed bonds have higher rates than bonds with fluctuating interest?
Fixed bonds don't necessarily have higher rates than bonds with fluctuating interest. An interesting feature of bonds is that their rates tend to go down as interest rates in general go up. A fixed rate bond will yield the same return no matter what the economy does, but a fluctuating interest bond's rate could go up if the general interest rate goes down or vice versa. So really, the important determining factor of which type of bond performs better is the economy in general.

What impact do changing interest rates have on the price of longterm bonds versus short term bonds?
For the same change in interest rates, a longer term bond will move more than a shorter term bond. The price change of a bond is base on the duration of the bond. The formula for calculating duration is complex. But in simple terms, the duration of a bond is the percentage change of the price of a bond for every 1% change in interest rates. For example, assume a 5 year Treasury bond has a duration of 4.0 and a 10 year Treasury bond has a duration of 7.5. If both interest rates go up one percentage point, the 5 year bond will decrease in price by 4.0% and the 10 year bond will decrease in price by 7.5%.

Fixed annuities have a guaranteed interest rate for a set time period. So, if interest rates go up and you are locked into a rate you are the loser. But the reverse can also work, if rates are high and rates go down, the annuity has to pay you the rate for the life of the time period. So, either the person or financial group could be the loser depending upon what happens to interest rates.
