Upside potential with downside protection.

It’s natural for you to want to protect and try to make the most of the money you’ve saved for retirement. That’s why a fixed index annuity (FIA) is appealing to many as they save for retirement. It has the potential to outpace current interest rates and inflation without the risk of performance-based losses. Plus, in addition to traditional annuity payout options, fixed index annuities may offer enhanced features for securing and growing a predictable income for your retirement.

Among their many benefits, fixed index annuities typically:

Offer greater interest crediting potential than prevailing interest rates since crediting is linked to any positive performance of an equity index, often the S&P 500^®, subject to maximum limits
Help protect your principal when index performance is negative by eliminating losses
Accrue value based solely on interest earnings, so there are no losses from poor performance
Offer multiple methods of interest calculation to choose from
Offer a variety of traditional and enhanced payout options for retirement income
Allow withdrawal of up to 10% of your money annually without cost during the surrender charge period and full access to your money outside of the surrender charge period
Are available with a variety of surrender charge durations

Taxable distributions (including certain deemed distributions) are subject to ordinary income taxes, and if made prior to age 59½, may also be subject to a 10% federal income tax penalty. If you are purchasing a fixed index annuity through a tax-advantaged retirement plan such as an IRA, you will receive no additional tax advantage from the fixed index annuity. Under these circumstances, you should only consider buying a fixed index annuity if it makes sense because of the annuity’s other features, such as lifetime income payments and death benefit protection.

Annuity death benefits may be subject to ordinary income tax.
