Barron’s Methodology: To help frame the various annuity categories, how they work, and the best offers these days, Barron’s tapped Cannex, an independent research firm specializing in retirement products, as well as company data to compile a list of 100 competitive contracts based on common investor objectives and a set of assumptions, such as an investor’s age and investment size. Because many annuities are designed to last for the long term, only contracts from companies with an AM Best financial-strength rating of A- or above were considered. Each investor’s situation is unique to their goals and circumstances. Each purchaser’s best interests should be considered prior to the purchase of any annuity.

This material is authorized for distribution only when accompanied or preceded by a prospectus and an applicable product brochure for the annuities being offered. The prospectus contains features, benefits, risks, fees, and other information regarding the registered index-linked annuity contract, which should be considered carefully before investing. You should read the prospectus carefully before investing money.

Registered Indexed-linked annuity products are complex insurance and investment vehicles. There is risk of loss of principal. Early withdrawals may be subject to withdrawal charges and a market value adjustment. Please refer to the prospectus for other important information including any risks about the product.

Guarantees provided are subject to the financial strength of the issuing insurance company; not guaranteed by any bank or the FDIC. All guarantees and crediting are dependent on the claims paying ability of the issuer.

ForeStructured Growth II: At the end of the Strategy Term, the contract owner will be notified that they can reallocate Contract Value from an existing Crediting Strategy to one ore more Strategies that are available. If a reallocation request is not received during the Reallocation Period, no reallocation will occur and the contract owner’s current allocation will remain in place for the next Strategy Term. This will occur even if the Crediting Strategy and/or the rate(s) associated with the Crediting Strategy’s upside crediting method have changed since the contract owner last selected the Crediting Strategy, in which case the Crediting Strategy may no longer be appropriate for the contract owner’s investment goals. If the contract owner’s reallocation in their current Strategy(ies) is not permitted, Contract Value in the non-permitted Strategy(ies) will be automatically reallocated to the One-Year Fixed Strategy.
