The policy provides a guaranteed interest rate for the first year, ensuring predictable growth. Upon the first contract anniversary, policyholders can choose to continue the contract, convert to a new One Plus Four contract, or surrender the contract without surrender charges. This flexibility allows policyholders to adapt their investment strategy based on changing financial goals or market conditions. 

Upon the first contract anniversary, and for 30 days thereafter, you have the option of: 1. Continuing the contract for the remaining four years. The rate for each subsequent year will be based on the Flex 5 Advantage New Issue Crediting Rate at each anniversary of your contract, and guaranteed at that level for the contract year. During the 30 day window, you may withdraw any portion of your proceeds without a surrender charge. 2. Surrendering the contract during the 30 day window, and converting to a new One Plus Four. The initial crediting rate for the new contract will be the current crediting rate in the month of the conversion. The entire proceeds of the existing contract may be converted into the new contract without creating a taxable event. 3. Surrendering the contract completely without incurring a surrender charge. (Again, this will create a taxable event and potential penalties.)

This product is designed for individuals seeking a short-term investment with the flexibility to adjust their strategy annually, and it accepts both qualified and non-qualified funds.
