Fixed IndexedAnnuity

– The potential to earn interest credits based on changes in external market indices– Tax-deferred interest accumulation*– A death benefit for your beneficiaries– Principal protection– The ability to create an income stream you can never outlive– The security of a minimum guaranteed contract value– Options for when you decide to withdraw some or all of your money**

* Tax-deferral offers no additional value if an annuity is used to fund an IRA; purchase an annuity for reasons other than tax-deferral benefits beyond those inherently provided by an IRA, such as a lifetime income and a death benefit.** Taxable amounts withdrawn prior to 59 1/2 may be subject to a 10% IRS penalty. Withdrawals in excess of the free amount are not credited with index interest for that term, may be subject to Withdrawal Charges and a Market Value Adjustment and may result in the loss of principal if taken during the first 5-10 years of the Contract. Indexed annuities are not registered securities or stock market investments

and do not directly participate in any stock or equity investments.Annuities are products of the insurance industry; guarantees are backed by the claims-paying ability of the issuing company.
