Source. The selected FIA product, carrier, AM Best rating, annual point-to-point cap or participation rate, verified Uncapped status, supported contract period, and any displayed strategy fee come from CANNEX product data delivered through AdvisorWorld. Premium, state, issue age, rating floor, carrier preferences, product/strategy search, horizon, and annual index changes are visitor inputs.
Updates and source date. Product information is checked for updates every 10 minutes. The visible date comes only from the date verified by the source; the time you visit the page is never substituted.
Accumulation formula. In accumulation mode, the full hypothetical premium is allocated to each selected strategy. Each year, a positive hypothetical index change is limited by the current cap or multiplied by the current participation rate. The modeled credited rate is max(0, current index credit minus any disclosed strategy fee); an undisclosed fee is labeled rather than invented. Negative-index years receive no credit and no fee drag. Current terms are held constant only to demonstrate mechanics; renewal terms can change.
Income mode. The product picker and comparison call the live FIA income calculations through the live public data service. Annual income, income base, rider fee, and ledger milestones are displayed only when the service supplies them for the selected product and inputs. This page never derives a payout from a cap, premium, payout factor, or generic rider label. A selected payout-style label is retained in the permalink; the current public calculation remains the authority for the supplied payout path.
Scope. Each accumulation strategy is limited to the smaller positive surrender or broadest-surrender period supplied by the source, up to 15 years; a longer requested horizon is capped with a notice. The comparison excludes withdrawals, surrender values, taxes, other allocations, bonuses, and features not included in current product information.
