The Axonic Trailhead Fixed Indexed Annuity Product Review


Listen Later

In episode 95 of the Atlas Annuity Podcast, Marty Becker reviews the Axonic Trailhead fixed indexed annuity—a product that's making waves in the industry. As of December 2025, Axonic offers the highest S&P 500 cap rate for an A-rated company with no fees and no risk to your gains.

Marty breaks down why this matters and shares his philosophy on indexing options. After nearly a decade in the business, he explains why he relies on the "good old trusty S&P 500" over hypothetical indexes that often underperform their back-tested projections.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • Key features of the Axonic Trailhead FIA (5, 7, and 10-year terms)
  • Why the S&P 500 remains the most reliable index for growth
  • The truth about proprietary indexes and hypothetical illustrations
  • Unique benefits like the interest boost after the first crediting term
  • How Axonic compares to other A-rated carriers
  • Whether you're looking to protect a portion of your portfolio or seeking reliable growth with downside protection, this episode gives you an honest, no-nonsense review of one of the market's leading fixed indexed annuities.
