Key Features

Participation Rate Option

Customizable rate; example shows 49%

You earn a percentage of the index's annual growth. For example, with a 49% participation rate, if the S&P 500 gains 10%, you earn 4.9%.

Rate Cap Option

10.25% cap in example

You earn interest based on index growth, but your gains are capped at a maximum percentage each year. For example, with a 10.25% cap, your earnings never exceed 10.25% annually.

Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit (GMAB)

110% of net premium at 10 years

If your account value after 10 years is less than 110% of your initial investment, the insurance company makes a one-time adjustment to reach that guarantee.

Downside Protection

0% minimum annual return

When the S&P 500 declines, your account earns 0% interest that year but never goes negative. You never experience losses from index downturns.

Surrender Charge Schedule

9.4% declining to 0.5% over 10 years

Withdrawals during the first 10 years may incur charges, starting at 9.4% in year 1 and declining to 0.5% in year 10.

10% Annual Withdrawal Waiver

10% annual free withdrawal

After the first contract year, you can withdraw up to 10% of your account value each year without a surrender charge.

Market Value Adjustment

Applied to surrenders with charges

When you withdraw during the surrender charge period, a market value adjustment is applied to reflect current interest rates. It can increase or decrease your surrender value.
