This hypothetical illustration is meant to demonstrate only how the account crediting method is designed to work, and is not a promise or projection of future returns. Past index performance does not guarantee future results. It is possible to receive a 0% index credit. Index values used to determine credits always exclude dividends. The value of the cap and participation rates used in this example is hypothetical and for illustration purposes only. Future rates are determined by the company and are not guaranteed. You should consult a company representative to ascertain current cap and participation rates for these indexed accounts.

Sales IdeasLegacy Building Strategies

> Death benefit leverage

> Potential for growth with downside protection

> Flexibility to surrender policy for available cash value if needed

> Simplified underwriting

The client should carefully consider the income tax consequences prior to liquidating any fixed income asset. Performance is not guaranteed and the policy may lapse as a result of underperformance. If the funds from the fixed income asset become insufficient to cover policy charges, funds from other sources may be required to keep the policy in force. Loans and withdrawals will reduce the policy’s cash value and death benefit and may be taxable on a LIFO basis when policy is classified as a MEC. Income taxes may be due to the extent of gain upon full surrender. Guarantees are based on the claims-paying ability of the insurance company.
