John Hancock Unveils an Inflation Protected Annuity

John Hancock Annuities announced the release of a new fixed annuity product that provides owners with inflation protection. 

The “Inflation Guard” product offers principal protection through a fixed interest rate that is guaranteed through the first year of the contract. 

After the first year, the interest rate is floating.  This floating rate is based on a rate of inflation that is derived from the year-over-year change in the Consumer Price Index-Urban or “CPI-U.”
