S&P 500 cap rate (PIV chassis)

4.5% cap on S&P 500

The 49-state filing of Allianz's 222 product family — a long-surrender fixed indexed annuity from an A-rated carrier with a built-in Protected Income Value income mechanism (no separate GLWB rider), plus a mix of S&P 500 cap exposure and proprietary participation-rate accumulation strategies.

Built-in income — no rider feeAnnual creditingAdvisorWorld + CANNEX data

Best fit

Buyers in 49 states (OR residents see Allianz 222) committing to a long deferral who want lifetime income delivered through the contract's own PIV mechanism rather than an optional rider with a separate fee, and who can use the accumulation strategies as a secondary growth vehicle.

Product analyst notes

How to think about this contract

Why it can stand out

  • Income mechanism is built into the base contract via the Protected Income Value (PIV), not bolted on as an optional rider with its own fee. Buyers comparing to GLWB-rider products should recognize the structural difference.
  • Filed in 49 states — the broad national footprint for Allianz's 222 product family. Oregon residents see the sibling filing, Allianz 222 (A000BH).
  • Crediting design offers both a recognizable S&P 500 cap option and proprietary participation-rate strategies, so buyers can choose between like-for-like comparison and higher-participation alternatives.
  • Carrier financial-strength is rated by more than one agency, so the strength view is not a single-source read.

What to confirm

  • This contract is NOT a GLWB-rider product. The income story is the carrier's Protected Income Value framework, which is structurally different from a guaranteed-lifetime-withdrawal rider — do not compare its lifetime payout side-by-side with a rider-led product without accounting for the mechanic difference (PIV is a tracked income value with deferral rules, not an account-value withdrawal rate).
  • Some of the index options are proprietary, volatility-controlled indexes. Their participation rates look high in absolute terms but are not directly comparable to an S&P 500 cap — evaluate each strategy on its own merits.
  • Minimum premium and issue-age bounds are not always shown on this page — confirm contract minimums and eligibility with the carrier before purchase.
  • Not available in OR (where the sibling filing Allianz 222 applies) or NY (no Allianz 222 filing on either ID).

Not ideal for

Buyers who need short-surrender liquidity, a plain MYGA-style declared rate, or a contractually-guaranteed GLWB-rider withdrawal rate with rider-specific terms. NY residents — no Allianz 222 filing applies.

Common questions about Allianz 222+

● Can I lose money in Allianz 222+?

A negative index return by itself does not reduce the contract's account value: Allianz 222+ credits 0% — the floor — for that indexed period. The account value can still decrease from applicable rider fees, Performance Rate Rider or other strategy charges, administrative charges, withdrawals, surrender charges, or other contract-specific deductions. In years with no credited interest, those deductions can reduce the account value. Up to 10% of your value can be withdrawn each year without a charge; withdrawals above the penalty-free amount during the surrender period can incur a surrender charge.

● Is the Protected Income Value income rider worth it?

It depends on whether you will use the guaranteed income. If you are accumulating only, you can skip it. If you want guaranteed lifetime income later, the 5% withdrawal rate can make it worthwhile — model it in the Income tab of the analyzer above.

● When can I access my money without a surrender charge?

Up to 10% of your account value each year is penalty-free. The surrender period runs 10 years; after that you reach full liquidity. The Liquidity tab of the analyzer shows the year-by-year surrender charge.

● How do Allianz 222+'s crediting strategies compare?

Use "Compare against" in the analyzer to overlay another current Allianz 222+ strategy on the same premium, age, years, and hypothetical index path. The control labels the strategy type, rate, index, and context so caps, participation rates, triggers, spreads, and fixed-account choices are not treated as interchangeable.

Crediting design

How the interest-crediting choices are framed

Allianz 222+ currently shows 13 distinct indexed or fixed crediting choices across 22 current rate listings, including S&P 500 Index and Fixed Account, with 9 volatility-controlled index options grouped separately. These choices matter because caps, participation rates, fixed accounts, spreads, renewal terms, and fee-bearing rider variants are different mechanics and should not be ranked as one simple rate list.

  • S&P 500 Index: 1.7% monthly cap
  • S&P 500 Index: 4.5% annual cap
  • S&P 500 Index: 100% annual participation rate
  • Fixed Account: 2.8% fixed account rate

Income rider language

What to look for before treating the rider as income

Protected Income Value is the main income-rider entry returned for this product. Rider terms can affect the tradeoff between future lifetime withdrawals, contract value, beneficiary value, and cost, so the exact state version and rider election should be confirmed before comparing it to annuitization or income-only contracts.

  • 5% withdrawal rate

Liquidity terms

Why access rules deserve as much attention as rates

A fixed indexed annuity can preserve more control than an income-only contract, but access is still governed by the surrender schedule, free-withdrawal terms, and waiver language. Those details are where many product comparisons become more meaningful than a simple rate list.

  • 10%/yr free withdrawal
  • 10 surrender years
  • Nursing home waiver

Verification note

Use carrier materials as term evidence, then confirm the current version

Carrier materials such as 222PL-001.pdf help explain the contract language behind the data on this page; the latest document activity we see is Apr 8, 2026. For the current brochure, rate sheet, or specimen contract, confirm the state-specific version with the carrier or a licensed financial professional.

  • Rates and rider terms can vary by state and issue age
  • Carrier guarantees depend on claims-paying ability
  • Current contract forms should be confirmed before purchase
