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.
