S&P 500 Index — 50% Participation (Annual)
✦
How crediting works: the participation rate keeps a share of positive index returns; a down index year has 0% index credit before rider charges. This illustration deducts no rider charge and is not a net contract value. A participation strategy tracks the index within its terms. What is a cap vs participation? →
Assumptions: illustrative — applies JourneyMark 7's published participation rate (50% on S&P 500 Index) to a standard benchmark hypothetical index path (~5.4%/yr average, including down years) with a 0% floor over 20 years. Gross crediting only: this illustration excludes the 1% annual Expanse Rider - Level Payments charge (income option; applicability depends on contract terms); 1% annual Expanse Rider - Level Payments charge (income option; applicability depends on contract terms); 1% annual Expanse Rider - Increasing Payments charge (income option; applicability depends on contract terms); 1% annual Expanse Rider - Increasing Payments charge (income option; applicability depends on contract terms) reported in the source. Applicable rider charges depend on contract terms; their deduction bases are not modeled. Each listed charge is not deducted, and no net contract value is shown.

Product analyst notes

How to think about this contract

Why it can stand out

  • Optional Expanse Rider available in two variants on the live feed — a level-payments version and an increasing-payments version — so a buyer can pick a higher fixed starting payout or a smaller starting payout designed to step up over time.
  • Seven-year surrender period is the middle option in the JourneyMark family — longer than JourneyMark 5 for higher headline crediting, shorter than JourneyMark 10 if the buyer is not comfortable with a ten-year lock-up.
  • Multi-index growth menu pairs the S&P 500 with engineered volatility-controlled indexes from Goldman Sachs and Citi — broader allocation choice than a single-index FIA, sitting alongside a fixed-rate bucket.
  • Backed by Integrity Life Insurance Company, a Western & Southern Financial Group subsidiary, with carrier financial-strength views visible from multiple agencies on this page from the live feed.

What to confirm

  • The Expanse Rider carries a published annual fee on the live feed — review the fee against the rider's guaranteed lifetime withdrawal rate, since the fee compounds against the contract value while the rider is in force.
  • JourneyMark 7 is not available in New York on the live feed — buyers in New York are looking at a different filing in this carrier's catalog, not this contract.
  • The volatility-controlled engineered indexes on the strategy menu are not the same as a S&P 500 cap rate — participation rates on those indexes are not directly comparable to caps on plain index strategies, so a buyer comparing the accumulation menu against other FIAs needs to compare like-for-like crediting methods rather than mixing engineered-index participation rates with plain S&P 500 caps.
  • Surrender charges in the early years of the seven-year ladder are in the high single digits — an unplanned early exit beyond the annual free-withdrawal allowance carries a real cost in the first half of the contract.

Not ideal for

Buyers in New York (this contract excludes New York on the live feed), buyers who want a shorter five-year surrender window (JourneyMark 5 is the short-term sibling), buyers who want the ten-year surrender ladder with a premium bonus (JourneyMark 10 carries that), or buyers who want a guaranteed-rate-only MYGA without any indexed-strategy crediting.

Common questions about JourneyMark 7

● Can I lose money in JourneyMark 7?

A negative index return by itself does not reduce the contract's account value: JourneyMark 7 credits 0% — the floor — for that indexed period. The account value can still decrease from the published rider fee, withdrawals, surrender charges, other contract-specific deductions. In years with no credited interest, those deductions can reduce the account value. Up to 5% 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 Expanse Rider - Level Payments income rider worth the 1% fee?

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 4.1% 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 5% of your account value each year is penalty-free. The scheduled surrender charges run 7 years; after that the surrender-charge schedule ends. Bonus vesting, market value adjustments when applicable, and other contract rules can still affect the amount available. The Liquidity tab of the analyzer shows the year-by-year surrender charge.

● How do JourneyMark 7's crediting strategies compare?

Use "Compare against" in the analyzer to overlay another available JourneyMark 7 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.

Contract notes from product data

Crediting design

How the interest-crediting choices are framed

JourneyMark 7 currently shows 14 distinct indexed or fixed crediting choices across 21 displayed rate entries, including S&P 500 Index and Fixed Account, with 10 volatility-controlled index options grouped separately. These choices matter because caps, participation rates, fixed accounts, spreads, and renewal terms are different mechanics and should not be ranked as one simple rate list.

  • S&P 500 Index: 50% annual participation rate, 0% annual strategy fee
  • Fixed Account: 4.5% fixed account rate, 0% annual strategy fee

Income rider language

What to look for before treating the rider as income

Expanse Rider - Level Payments is the main income rider listed 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.

  • 4.1% withdrawal rate
  • 1% rider fee
  • 10 deferral years
  • RMD friendly
  • Joint life availability

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.

  • 5%/yr free withdrawal
  • 7 surrender years
  • Nursing home waiver
  • RMD waiver
  • Terminal illness waiver

Verification note
