    Registered index-linked annuities (RILAs) are subject to investment risk, including possible loss of principal. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate with market conditions so that contract value, upon distribution, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

    RILAs are subject to investment risk, including possible loss of principal. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate with market conditions so that contract value, upon distribution, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

    Executing a Performance Lock may result in receiving less than the performance credit that would have been received had the index option not been locked. It is possible to lock in a negative return. We will not provide advice or notification regarding whether a Performance Lock or Early Reallocation (also known as “get back in”) should be executed, the optimal time to do so, or if a Performance Lock or Early Reallocation is exercised at a sub-optimal time. We are not responsible for any losses related to decisions of whether or not to execute a Performance Lock or Early Reallocation. Early Reallocation Caps, Participation Rates, and/or Trigger Rates received may be less than the Early Reallocation rates that become available later in the Index Year, or the renewal rates available on the next Index Anniversary.

    Guarantees are backed solely by the financial strength and claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company. Guarantees in RILAs do not apply to the performance of the variable subaccount(s), which will fluctuate with market conditions.
