How crediting works: the participation rate keeps a share of positive index returns; a down year credits 0%, never a loss. A participation strategy tracks the index within its terms. What is a cap vs participation? →
Assumptions: illustrative — applies NWL Impact 7S's published participation rate (65% 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. Growth starts from a bonus-adjusted illustrative account value: $100,000 premium + $5,000 premium bonus (5%) = $105,000. Bonus vesting and withdrawal treatment follow the contract. Not a projection, quote, or guarantee. Live CANNEX rates as of July 15, 2026.

Product analyst notes

How to think about this contract

Why it can stand out

  • Multiple live lifetime-income elections let a buyer compare rider designs within the same contract filing.
  • A premium bonus and a compact fixed-plus-index strategy menu support the income base during the accumulation period.

What to confirm

  • The bonus vests over time and the income elections carry different fees, so neither should be treated as free value.
  • This is the narrower state filing in the Impact family; availability must be checked before relying on a quote.

Not ideal for

Buyers who want the broadest state footprint, avoid rider fees, or may exit before bonus vesting and surrender charges run off.

Common questions about NWL Impact 7S

● Can I lose money in NWL Impact 7S?

A negative index return by itself does not reduce the contract's account value: NWL Impact 7S 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 Up to 10% of your value can be withdrawn each year without a charge; withdrawals above the penalty-free amount during the surrender period can incur a surrender charge.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 NWL Income Outlook NH 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 5% roll-up and 7% 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 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 NWL Impact 7S's crediting strategies compare?

Use "Compare against" in the analyzer to overlay another current NWL Impact 7S 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

NWL Impact 7S currently shows 3 indexed or fixed crediting options, including S&P 500 Index and Fixed Account, with 1 volatility-controlled index option 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: 65% monthly participation rate
  • Fixed Account: 3.15% fixed account rate

Income rider language

What to look for before treating the rider as income

NWL Income Outlook NH 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.

  • 7% withdrawal rate
  • 1% rider fee
  • 10 deferral years

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
  • 7 surrender years
  • Nursing home waiver
  • Terminal illness waiver

Verification note

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

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
