How crediting works: the cap limits positive index returns; a down year credits 0%, never a loss. A cap strategy tracks the index within its terms. What is a cap vs participation? →
Assumptions: illustrative — applies Strategic Growth 7's published cap rate (11.25% 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.

S&P 500 annual cap rate

9% cap on S&P 500

A seven-year-surrender fixed indexed annuity from an A- rated carrier built for index-linked accumulation, with annual point-to-point caps on recognizable benchmark indexes alongside a deep menu of one- and two-year participation strategies on proprietary volatility-controlled indexes, and no income rider.

1-year term7-year surrenderDoes not vary by premiumAdvisorWorld + CANNEX data

Best fit

Accumulation-focused buyers who want a seven-year deferral rather than a ten-year, value the ability to mix recognizable-benchmark caps with proprietary participation strategies (including two-year crediting variants for higher participation), and don't need a guaranteed lifetime-income rider built into the contract.

Product analyst notes

How to think about this contract

Why it can stand out

  • Seven-year surrender term is at the shorter end of Security Benefit's FIA lineup — buyers who do not want a full ten-year commitment can get the same family's accumulation chassis on a shorter horizon.
  • Index menu spans recognizable benchmarks (S&P 500, MSCI EAFE, Nasdaq-100, Russell 2000) plus proprietary participation strategies (S&P 500 Factor Rotator, S&P MARC, Morgan Stanley Global Equity Allocator, Morningstar Wide Moat Focus, UBS Market Pioneers), so buyers can mix like-for-like benchmark exposure with higher-participation alternatives.
  • Both one-year and two-year crediting term lengths are offered on most proprietary participation strategies, so a buyer who is willing to lock the crediting period for longer can capture a meaningfully higher participation rate.
  • Free-withdrawal allowance and the full surrender ladder are visible on this page, so the schedule of penalty-free liquidity is not gated behind a sales brochure.

What to confirm

  • This contract is not a guaranteed-lifetime-income product. The live feed shows an empty income-rider list — only standard surrender-charge waivers (nursing home, terminal illness) are present. Do not compare its payout side-by-side with a rider-led income FIA.
  • Many of the listed indexes (S&P 500 Factor Rotator, S&P MARC Excess Return, Morningstar Wide Moat Focus Barclays VC, UBS Market Pioneers, UBS Multi Asset Inflation Aware) are proprietary volatility-controlled benchmarks. Participation rates on these strategies can look high in absolute terms but are not directly comparable to an uncontrolled S&P 500 cap — evaluate each strategy on its own merits.
  • The guaranteed-minimum cap floor on this contract is well below current declared caps. Caps and participation rates can reset down toward that contractual floor over the surrender term, and the buyer carries that renewal risk for the full term — check the floor in the current strategies block on this page before committing.
  • There is no premium bonus on this contract. Buyers who want an up-front bonus should compare Strategic Growth Plus or Top Ridge Bonus Annuity from the same carrier on net projected outcomes, not just headline caps.

Not ideal for

Buyers who need a contractually guaranteed GLWB withdrawal rate or a built-in Protected Income Value income mechanism, want an up-front premium bonus, want a plain MYGA-style declared rate, or expect short-surrender liquidity inside year one or two — none of those are what this contract is built to deliver.

The CANNEX information identifies this product as tax-deferred accumulation. Compare cap, participation rate, fees, liquidity, and surrender terms; use a separate payout-focused contract when guaranteed payout mechanics are required.

Common questions about Strategic Growth 7

● Can I lose money in Strategic Growth 7?

A negative index return by itself does not reduce the contract's account value: Strategic Growth 7 credits 0% — the floor — for that indexed period. The account value can still decrease from withdrawals, surrender charges, 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.

● 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 Strategic Growth 7's crediting strategies compare?

Use "Compare against" in the analyzer to overlay another available Strategic Growth 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.

Crediting design

How the interest-crediting choices are framed

Strategic Growth 7 currently shows 82 indexed or fixed crediting options, including S&P 500 Index, with 68 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: 9% annual cap
  • S&P 500 Index: 11.25% annual cap, Rate Buy Up Feature
  • S&P 500 Index: 50% annual participation rate

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

Carrier materials such as IM5000237-V20260108.pdf help explain the contract language behind the data on this page; the latest document activity we see is Apr 24, 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
