Flexibility for the future you’re building

Future Flex Fixed Index Annuity

Expanded earning potential with downside protection.

The Future Flex Fixed Index Annuity (FIA) can help grow your savings with carefully measured risk. This flexible premium deferred annuity earns interest when your chosen stock market index or indices perform well while simultaneously protecting against market downturns.

The Future Flex FIA allows you the flexibility to make additional contributions of $1,000 or more at any time during the four-year contract. Plus, you can choose to reallocate your money amongst three different index options every one or two years.

The Future Flex Fixed Index Annuity gives you:

Principal protection:

Fixed index annuities protect your initial investment, meaning you won’t lose money due to market volatility. When the index or indices you choose experience a decline in performance from the beginning to the end of an index term, you will not lose any money due to poor market performance.

Additionally, our Future Flex Fixed Index Annuity offers unlimited earning potential with three well-designed Barclays index options and competitive participation rates, which help determine the amount of interest credited at the end of each
index term.

Flexibility:

Our Future Flex Fixed Index Annuity allows you flexibility to accommodate lifestyle or economic changes over time.

You can choose to add more premium to your annuity throughout your contract and choose how you allocate your premium* so that some of your index funds can work hard while others sit back and enjoy the steady earnings of a pre-defined interest rate. You can also withdraw a certain amount of money each year without paying penalties like surrender charges.

*minimum/maximum amounts apply

Tax-deferred growth:

Earnings in a fixed index annuity are not taxed until withdrawn. This means your money can grow faster than in a taxable account because you’re not losing a portion of your earnings to taxes each year.

Guaranteed income for life:

Fixed index annuities can provide a guaranteed stream of income for the rest of your life, no matter how long you live. This can be a valuable source of income in retirement, especially if you’re concerned about outliving your savings.

Index Strategy Options

With the Future Flex Fixed Index Annuity, you can allocate funds to up to seven strategy options. Choose from a combination of three top-performing indices available in annual and biennial strategy options. You can also choose to increase your participation rate by paying a booster fee (click here for details). A higher booster fee is associated with a higher participation rate.

ESG indicators seek to measure a company’s, or an asset’s performance, with respect to E, S and/or G criteria. ESG indicators are derived from publicly reported data, modelled data, or a combination of reported and modelled data. ESG indicators are based on a qualitative assessment due to the absence of well-defined uniform market standards and the use of multiple methodologies to assess ESG factors.
