How the Fixed Indexed Annuity works with the S&P® 500 Index + 0

S&P 500® Index Indexed Annuity



+ 0

– When the S&P® index rises, the value of the Fixed Indexed Annuity will increase annually by the applicable index credit, subject to any applicable participation and/or cap.

Indexed Annuity S&P 500® Index

When the S&P® index falls, the value of the Fixed Indexed Annuity is unaffected. Your annuity value may not increase at the end of that policy year, but it will not decrease no matter how much the market drops.

The above examples do not reflect the actual results of the S&P 500® for a particular period, but rather are intended to illustrate in general terms how the Fixed Indexed Annuities work with the S&P®. Participation rates and caps vary and, as reflected in the second example, a decline in the S&P® could result in zero index credits on the annuity at the end of that policy year. FA-11
