13. For Agent Use Only. © 2009 American Financial Power of Annual Reset This example is intended to highlight the annual reset feature of a fixed index annuity. This is not a comprehensive overview of all relevant annuity features and benefits. Be sure to review all material details about these products. We are using actual S&P 500 data from 1/1/1999 to 1/1/2009, and are assuming the hypothetical product was available for purchase on 1/1/1999 utilizing the monthly sum crediting method with a hypothetical monthly cap of 2.7%. Keep in mind that this represents past information only and results will vary depending on actual market conditions. Past performance may not be used to predict or project future results. Actual results will vary by the specific product chosen, crediting method, caps spreads, or participation rates. No single crediting method consistently delivers the most interest under all market conditions. The minimum guarantee (light blue line) illustrates a market scenario where no indexed interest was earned during the period shown. Although external indexes may affect your contract values, the contract does not directly participate in any stock or other investments. You are not buying bonds, shares of stock, or shares of an index fund. The indexes do not include the dividends paid on stocks underlying a stock index or interest paid on bonds underlying a bond index. Stock dividends and bond interest are not reflected in the interest we credit to your contract. The S&P 500 index does not include dividends.
