Measuring the Gain

Two common methods used

Annual Point-to-Point – Annual Reset

Monthly Point-to-Point – Annual Reset

Annual Point-to-PointExamples:

Beginning index value: 1000

Ending index value on contract anniversary: 1117

Percentage of change: +11.70%

Annual Cap: 4%

X Your Return is 4%X Your Return is 4%

Beginning index value: 1000

Ending index value on contract anniversary: 900

Percentage of change: -10%

Annual Cap: 4%X Your Return is 0%

Up Year Down Year

The annual cap varies depending upon the issuing insurance company.The 4% annual cap quoted is for illustrative purposes only.

Monthly Average Point-to-PointExamples:

On each monthly anniversary the index gain or loss percentage is calculated from the previous monthly anniversary indexnumber. Percentage gains are recorded up to the cap, percentage losses are not recorded. At the policy anniversary, the recorded changes are averaged together, and if positive, that is the interest credit for the year. If negative, there is not interest credited for the year.

Monthly Sum Point-to-PointExamples:

On each monthly anniversary the index gain or loss percentage is calculated from the previous monthly anniversary indexnumber. Percentage gains are recorded up to the cap, percentage losses are recorded with no cap. At the policy anniversary, the recorded changes are added together, and if positive, that is the interest credit for the year. If negative, there is not interest credited for the year.

The Safety of Fixed Indexed Annuities

All fixed annuities are backed by the claims paying ability of the insurance company offering them. The insurance companies are subject to strict guidelines established by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners and must strive to conservatively invest the premium funds to provide a minimum return.

Additionally individual states may require insurance companies doing business in their state to contribute to the Life and Health Guarantee Association, which may help should an insurance company fail to meet the obligations of their contract holders, up to the guidelines published by the state.
