When the S&P 500 Index goes up, so do your interest earnings.* If the Index drops, your principal is protected by your minimum guarantee. Past equity-indexed changes are no guarantee of future equity-indexed changes.

How Performance is Calculated Indexing Method – The way the increase, if any, in the account value is calculated. Participation Rate – This rate determines how much of the increase in the S&P 500 Index will be used to calculate any interest earnings.

It is important to understand these features and how they work together to calculate your interest.
