"The commissions tend to be high for agents selling fixed-indexed annuities. These elevated commissions make them more attractive to agents, especially when comparing them to lower commissions for variable annuities. According to Chris Lloyd of the FinancialCounsel website,
average commissions stand at 10.4 percent, with 80 percent of fixed-indexed annuity sales garnering commissions at 9 percent or higher."
