WealthLock ACCUMULATOR
A Single Premium Deferred Fixed Index Annuity (FIA)
The performance of fixed index annuities (FIAs) are tied to specific underlying stock indices. What does that mean? Good question. Essentially, it means your money grows according to either a fixed rate or the performance of the indices you choose – or both. If you choose to allocate your money to the available indices, your money won’t grow uniformly as with a fixed annuity. Instead, your growth will complement the growth of the indices you have chosen. This also means there is opportunity for a higher yield at the end of your term.
Do you need to worry about market uncertainty? Nope, that’s the beauty of a fixed index annuity. The initial money you put into this annuity type is not actually invested in stocks or bonds. That means this type of product is protected from dips in the market and retains its current value even when stocks – and other more volatile investment options – lose value. Once the market starts growing again, so does your annuity.

WealthLock Accumulator can provide guaranteed income for as long as you live.
WealthLock Accumulator has partnered with three leaders in the investment industry. This means you have an opportunity to track the returns of indices that are managed by these partners, and your return can be linked to their performance. Your premium return can be linked to one or more indices’ performance. The interest earned is then credited based on your selected index’s performance. If the value of the index goes up during a defined period, so does the interest you earn.

The Franklin Factors US Index is a US multi-asset index designed to deliver consistent risk-adjusted returns. Franklin begins by screening 1,000 well-recognized US stocks and assigning to each one a score based on three key factors: quality, value, and momentum. Once the stocks have been scored, they are ranked, and the top 250 stocks become the index’s growth engine. During less volatile periods, the index emphasizes stocks. During periods of heightened volatility, the index shifts to a more defensive alignment to help preserve capital.

Quality is a stock characteristic, or factor, shown by academics and practitioners to deliver more attractive returns historically than the broad market. Quality companies tend to have a competitive advantage that offer potential to drive higher profits over longer time horizons.

Provides growth by participating in a portion of the index’s growth determined by the highest quarterly index value throughout the crediting term. Your interest is credited and locked in every five years.
A unique feature of the 5-year High Watermark Participation Rate Crediting Strategy is QuarterLockSM. The QuarterLock feature provides owners four opportunities a year to automatically lock in rising index values.
It’s no secret that stock markets have higher risk and higher potential rewards than some other asset classes. With QuarterLock, you can make the most of stock market fluctuations by automatically locking in the highest quarterly index value throughout a crediting term. At the end of the crediting term, your interest is credited and locked in at the highest quarterly value — even if the index you track finishes the period at a lower value.
QuarterLock automatically locks in the highest index value every quarter. It may improve your credited interest by giving you four automatic opportunities a year to lock in the highest index value.
This ensures you earn interest even when the index decreases towards the end of your index option term.
This is a hypothetical example of a 5-year High Watermark Participation Rate Strategy. Interest is calculated by determining the percentage change between the starting index value and highest quarterly index value over the 5-year term. A participation rate is then applied to the percentage change to calculate your interest earned.
The 5-Year High Watermark Participation Rate Strategy in the example above was assumed to be 150% and the traditional 5-Year Point-to-Point with Participation Rate was assumed to be 200%. Both strategies had a starting index value of 75; whereas the ending index value differed for the 5- Year High Watermark Participation Rate Strategy and the 5-Year Point-to-Point with Participation Rate, 148 and 86 respectively.
