Product analyst notes

How to think about this contract

Why it can stand out

  • Five-year surrender period is short for an FIA — capital is contractually accessible without surrender penalty several years sooner than the carrier's long-deferral filings (Thrive Plus 10, Enhanced Choice Index Plus 10), so this is the shortest-term lockup The Standard files for an FIA chassis.
  • Crediting menu is intentionally narrow — a single recognizable S&P 500 annual point-to-point cap strategy alongside a fixed-account option in the live feed — so the comparison shopping is straightforward and there are no proprietary volatility-controlled indexes to evaluate.
  • Free-withdrawal allowance and the full five-year surrender ladder are visible directly on this page from the live feed rather than gated behind a sales brochure.
  • Filed broadly in the live feed — every US state plus DC except New York — so the contract is accessible for nearly every buyer outside of NY.

What to confirm

  • This contract has no guaranteed-lifetime-withdrawal rider in the live feed — it is not a substitute for a rider-led income product and should not be compared to one on lifetime payout.
  • Caps on a five-year FIA are structurally expected to be lower than on the carrier's longer-surrender contracts (Thrive Plus 10, EclipseMark 10, Enhanced Choice Index Plus 10) — do not benchmark this product against the carrier's ten-year FIAs and conclude crediting is weak.
  • Crediting is single-strategy — there is no participation-rate strategy on a proprietary index in the live feed, so a buyer who wants higher upside through a volatility-controlled index option will not find one inside this contract.
  • A market value adjustment applies on early surrender on top of the surrender-charge schedule, so unplanned liquidity beyond the published free-withdrawal allowance in the surrender window carries an additional interest-rate-sensitive cost on top of the published charge. Not available in New York.

Not ideal for

Buyers who need a guaranteed-lifetime-withdrawal rider, want exposure to participation-rate strategies on volatility-controlled indexes, or want the higher caps a longer-surrender FIA from the same carrier offers — a longer-surrender or income-led contract is a better fit.

Income riders

Accumulation-focused — no income rider

This contract is designed for tax-deferred accumulation, not guaranteed lifetime income. No GLWB rider was returned because none is part of the contract design — compare against other accumulation FIAs on cap, participation rate, and surrender terms rather than lifetime income.

Common questions about Index Select Annuity 5

● Can I lose money in Index Select Annuity 5?

A negative index return by itself does not reduce the contract's account value: Index Select Annuity 5 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.

● When can I access my money without a surrender charge?

Up to 10% of your account value each year is penalty-free. The surrender period runs 5 years; after that you reach full liquidity. The Liquidity tab of the analyzer shows the year-by-year surrender charge.

● How do Index Select Annuity 5's crediting strategies compare?

Use "Compare against" in the analyzer to overlay another current Index Select Annuity 5 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

Index Select Annuity 5 currently shows 5 distinct indexed or fixed crediting choices across 6 current rate listings, including S&P 500 Index. 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: 9% annual cap
  • S&P 500 Index: 8.75% annual cap
  • S&P 500 Index: 55% annual participation rate
  • S&P 500 Index: 53% annual participation rate

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
  • 5 surrender years
  • Nursing home waiver
  • RMD waiver
  • Terminal illness waiver
