Diversify dollars in your annuity with multiple index-linked crediting strategy options
While fixed index annuities (FIAs), like Eagle Select® Focus 5 and Eagle Select® Focus 7, offer index-linked growth opportunities, the annuities themselves aren’t tied to or invested in an index.
With an FIA:
- The money you use to purchase the annuity isn’t directly invested in an index.
- Your principal is protected from market volatility.
- The annuity doesn’t lose money due to index decreases, and the interested credited will never be less than zero.
- Funds can grow tax-deferred until you withdraw income.
- The contract value may earn interest through a guaranteed fixed rate if selected, as well as credited increases from an underlying index, like the S&P 500®.
- Any interest credited to the contract value is locked in and cannot be lost due to volatility.
Select from multiple crediting strategies that allow you to diversify your retirement dollars and the opportunity to benefit from index increases — while your principal remains protected from market downturn.
Featured indices
S&P 500® Index (Ticker: SPX) — Consists of 500 leading U.S. stocks, and is a common benchmark of the U.S. stock market. The S&P® 500 Index is widely regarded as the single best gauge of large-cap U.S. equities.
S&P 500® Dividend Aristocrats® Daily Risk Control 5% Excess Return Index (Ticker: SPXD5UE) — Volatility control index that consists of S&P 500® members that have consistently increased dividends every year for at least 25 consecutive years. This index is designed to provide added stability by limiting risk exposure and measuring the market performance on a daily basis using the most consistent, dividend-producing companies on the S&P 500® Index.
Franklin Global Trends IndexSM (Ticker: FTGTREND) — Multi-asset index comprised of both national and global asset classes, allowing for broad diversification and boosting growth potential. By dynamically allocating across 10 global asset classes — including equities, fixed income and alternatives — the index provides risk management, with an active approach to allocation based on market trends and the ability to pivot as needed due to market volatility.
Invesco Dynamic Growth Index (Ticker: IIDGROW) — Index that focuses on growth and seeks to optimize performance by dynamically combining U.S. equities and bonds, and matching allocation strategies to one of four economic cycles — recovery, expansion, slowdown or contraction. Addresses risk by monitoring market performance and making intra-day allocation adjustments as needed.
BlackRock Adaptive U.S. Equity 7% Index™ (Ticker: BAUSE7X) — Designed to deliver exposure to the iShares® Core S&P 500® ETF, this index is subject to a 7% target volatility that incorporates its U.S. Treasury iShares® ETF and cash components with the ability to rebalance daily.
Diverse interest crediting options
Fixed rate — Index crediting is based on a set interest rate that’s declared when the contract is issued and guaranteed for a specified amount of time.
Cap rate — The cap is the highest interest rate credited over the strategy’s time period. Credited interest is calculated based on an increase in the index, but is limited to a specified cap, or maximum, rate.
Participation rate — This is the percentage of the index increase used to calculate the indexed interest. Your FIA earns interest based on increases in the index, and doesn’t lose value if there are decreases in the index.
Participation rate for term — This strategy guarantees that the participation rate determined at contract issue will not change for the surrender charge period of the annuity contract. The strategy is only available at contract issue. Annual Point-to-Point volatility-controlled indices are eligible for this option.
Not all crediting strategies are available on all indices.

Possible interest credits for money allocated to an index-linked crediting strategy are based upon performance of the specific index; however, fixed index annuities (FIAs) are not an investment, but an insurance product, and do not directly invest in the stock market or the index itself.
