The chart presents the change in the index value for the selected period; an individual cannot invest directly in an index. The change in the index’s value shown in the chart does not reflect the caps, spreads, and/or participation rates that would have applied to an index account in a fixed index annuity that determined interest credits based in part on the change in the index’s value. Past performance of the index is no guarantee of, and should not be relied upon as a predictor of the future change of the index’s value.

Performance of the S&P Multi-Asset Risk Control (MARC) 5% Index prior to 2017 is simulated. Simulated performance utilizes backward looking projections and should not be relied on as a predictor of future performance, which may differ substantially from the simulated performance reflected in this example.
