  • Symetra Enhances Fixed Indexed Annuities, Introduces New Franklin Large Cap Value 15% ER Index

    February 25, 2026 by Symetra

    BELLEVUE, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Symetra Life Insurance Company announced several new enhancements to its suite of fixed indexed annuities, including new crediting strategies, improved certainty and flexibility, and the addition of the Franklin Large Cap Value 15% ER Index.

    Symetra Edge Elite, Symetra Edge Frontier and Symetra Edge Revolution are single-premium fixed indexed annuities (FIAs) that provide growth potential based on performance of market indexes. With the option to allocate across different indexed account options, each with multiple crediting options, they offer clients various crediting methods while maintaining principal protection.

    “Symetra has consistently focused on building annuity products that provide diversification opportunities in a variety of economic environments. Our latest FIA enhancements reflect our commitment to offer financial professionals and their clients options that are designed to add value and fit customer retirement needs and goals regardless of market conditions,” said Kevin Rabin, Symetra SVP, Retirement Products.

    “We’re excited to partner with Symetra to deliver a truly innovative index solution,” commented Colleen Tycz, Head of Strategic Accounts & Insurance Distribution at Franklin Templeton. “This launch brings the benefits of Franklin Templeton’s active ETF expertise into a risk-managed index framework, expanding how and where consumers can follow our investment capabilities.”

    Key enhancements include:

    • Additional diversification opportunities — Exclusive to Symetra, the new Franklin Large Cap Value 15% ER Index delivers a disciplined approach to value investing, designed specifically for fixed indexed annuities. This index utilizes the actively managed Putnam Focused Large Cap Value ETF (PVAL) for equity exposure and applies a 15% annual volatility target to balance long-term growth potential with daily risk control.
    • New trigger accounts — The JPMorgan Efficiente® 5 Index is now available utilizing a trigger strategy, meaning that any positive return in the index results will be credited at the stated trigger rate at the end of the interest term. All four indexes within Symetra’s suite of fixed indexed annuities – including the Nasdaq 100® Index and S&P 500® Index — now offer a trigger crediting method.
    • Improved certainty and flexibility — Clients can access up to 15% of their contract value each contract year without withdrawal charges and now can choose to auto-rebalance their accounts to a given allocation on each contract anniversary.
