Showing 44 of 44 indexed segments.
Menu combined from 3 published rate instances (29 + 7 + 8 segments).
12 rows publish a term and buffer but no linked index or upside rates. They are retained separately and excluded from indexed outcome figures.
Outcome simulator unavailable
The current feed does not publish a strategy fee for every eligible segment. No zero fee is assumed, so outcome figures are suppressed.
What the carrier can change at renewal
Upside rates and downside-protection terms are declared for each segment. These are the contractual minimums published with the live rows.

Analyst notes
Where it stands out
- The current feed identifies an Index Linked Variable Income Benefit and an annual rider fee.
- The current feed publishes no scenario withdrawal rate or roll-up value.
- One-, three-, and six-year buffered segments remain available for the contract's market-linked account value.
What to confirm
- The income benefit does not prevent the RILA account value from declining when losses exceed the selected buffer.
- No lifetime-income dollar amount or payout percentage is inferred because the current live scenario does not publish one.
- The live product data does not publish strategy fees for the indexed rows, so indexed outcome figures are suppressed.
Best fitBuyers evaluating lifetime-income contract terms alongside a market-linked account value and willing to confirm the missing payout mechanics in the prospectus.
Not ideal forBuyers who require a quoted income amount from this page, full account-value protection, or fee-free income.

Rates are sourced from CANNEX via AdvisorWorld and updated daily. Rates vary by state, premium band, and issue age. A registered index-linked annuity can lose value; a buffer, floor, or downside-participation rule limits specified losses but does not guarantee principal or surrender value. Upside rates and downside-protection terms can change on new segments. Educational only — not advice, a quote, or a carrier-approved illustration. Guarantees are backed by the issuing carrier’s claims-paying ability and are not FDIC-insured.
