UPDATING SUMMARY PROSPECTUS
May 1, 2025
F&G Confidence Builder
Individual Single Premium Deferred Index-Linked Annuity Contract
Issued By:
FIDELITY & GUARANTY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
This summary prospectus summarizes key features of the F&G Confidence Builder annuity contract.
The Contract is a complex investment and involves risks, including potential loss of principal. Each Crediting Method includes a “Buffer,” which provides limited protection against a negative Index Change for a Crediting Period or, for an Annual Lock Crediting Method, for each Contract Year during a Crediting Period. When you invest in an Indexed-Linked Interest Strategy, if there is negative Index performance for the Crediting Period, or, for an Annual Lock Crediting Method, for each Contract Year during a Crediting Period, you risk any losses that exceed the amount of the Buffer. At the end of a Crediting Period, you could lose up to 90% of your investment in an Index- Linked Interest Strategy with a Buffer of 10%, and up 80% of your investment in an Index-Linked Interest Strategies with a Buffer of 20%. If you select an Index-Linked Interest Strategy with an Annual Lock Crediting Method, on the Crediting Date, at the end of a Crediting Period you could lose significantly more due to compounding annual losses. We will always offer an Index-Linked Interest Strategy with the protection of at least a 10% Buffer.
Each Crediting Method has either has a “Cap Rate,” which is the maximum percentage change that can be credited under an Index-Linked Interest Strategy for a Crediting Period; or a “Performance Trigger Rate,” which is the percentage that will be credited if the Index Change is positive or equal to zero for a Crediting Period. The Cap Rate or the Performance Trigger Rate may limit the amount that will be credited to your Contract, and you may earn less than the Index return during the Crediting Period. We may change Cap Rates and Performance Trigger Rates for each Crediting Period, subject to the Guaranteed Minimum Cap Rate of 2% for a point to point Index-Linked Interest Strategy with a one-year Crediting Period; 6% for a point to point Index-Linked Interest Strategy with a three-year Crediting Period; 3% for a point to point Index-Linked Interest Strategy with a six-year Crediting Period where the Index is Hindsight 20/20; 12% for a point to point Index-Linked Interest Strategy with a six-year Crediting Period with any other Index; and 2% for each year of an Annual Lock Index-Linked Interest Strategy with a six-year Crediting Period; and the Guaranteed Minimum Performance Trigger Rate of 0.50% for a point to point Index-Linked Interest Strategy with a one-year Crediting Period.
The Contract is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash. Withdrawals could result in surrender charges, negative contract adjustments, taxes and tax penalties. Before the end of a Crediting Period for an Index-Linked Interest Strategy, if you take a surrender or any withdrawal (including systematic withdrawals and required minimum distributions), or if you annuitize, or if the death benefit is paid, the transaction will be based on the Strategy Interim Value of your investment in that Index-Linked Interest Strategy, which is calculated by using a formula that takes into account the value of a specific set of hypothetical derivatives and changes in interest rates that impact the value of the fixed income assets supporting your Contract. Also, if you take a withdrawal or surrender from your Contract at the end of a Crediting Period during the first six Contract Years, your withdrawal or surrender will be subject to an adjustment for changes in interest rates that impact the value of the fixed income assets supporting your Contract (an “Asset Adjustment”). A withdrawal during a Crediting Period, or, during the first six Contract Years, on the Crediting Date will reduce your Account Value on a proportionate, rather than a dollar-for-dollar, basis. Under extreme conditions, you could lose up to 100% of your investment in an Index-Linked Interest Strategy if you remove funds before the Crediting Date or on the Crediting Date prior to the sixth Contract Anniversary.
Any interest credited to your Contract, as well as our obligations under the Contract, either as a result of investing in an Index-Linked Interest Strategy or the Fixed Interest Strategy, are subject to our financial strength and claims-paying ability.

Additional information about certain investment products, including index-linked annuity contracts, has been prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s staff and is available at Investor.gov.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is accurate or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
We have used simple, clear language as much as possible in this prospectus. However, by the very nature of the Contracts certain technical words or terms are unavoidable. We have identified the following as some of these words or terms.
| Account Value | The total amount attributable to your Contract during the Accumulation Phase at any given time. Your Account Value is the sum of your Strategy Account Values and your Fixed Interest Strategy Value at any given time. Your Account Value may not necessarily equal your Cash Surrender Value. | |
| Accumulation Phase | The period beginning on the Effective Date and ending on the Maturity Date. | |
| Adjusted Index Change | The net change percentage in the Index Value of an Index from the start of a Crediting Period to the end of the Crediting Period, after any applicable adjustment for the Crediting Method applicable to an Index-Linked Interest Strategy. The Adjusted Index Change for an Index-Linked Interest Strategy represents the rate at which we credit interest at the end of a Crediting Period. The Adjusted Index Change may be positive, negative, or equal to zero. | |
| Annuitant | The natural person(s) on whose life (or lives) annuity payments under the Contract are based. | |
| Asset Adjustment | An adjustment to your Strategy Base Value used to determine the Strategy Interim Value based on the Bloomberg US Aggregate Yield to Worst Index to account for changes in interest rates that impact the value of the fixed income assets supporting your Contract since the Contract’s Effective Date. On a Crediting Date prior to the sixth Contract Anniversary, your Strategy Account Value also includes the Asset Adjustment. | |
| Business Day | Any day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for regular trading. A Business Day ends at the same time that regular trading on the NYSE closes (typically, 4:00 PM Eastern Time). | |
| Buffer | A Buffer protects against a negative Index Change until the protection level has been exceeded. The Buffer represents the maximum negative Index Change that will not result in a negative Adjusted Index Change for a given Crediting Period. If the Index Change for the Crediting Period is negative, and the negative Index Change is within the Buffer, then the Index-Linked Interest credited to the Strategy Account Value is zero. If the negative Index Change exceeds the Buffer, then negative Index-Linked Interest is credited to the extent that the Index Change extends beyond the Buffer. The Buffer provides limited protection against negative Index-Linked Interest being credited to your Contract for a Crediting Period. For example, if the Buffer is 20% and the Index Change for the Crediting Period is negative 35%, negative Index-Linked Interest of 15% would be credited to the Index-Linked Interest Strategy. | |
| Cap Rate | An element of certain Crediting Methods. The Cap Rate represents the maximum Adjusted Index Change that can be credited under an Index-Linked Interest Strategy for a Crediting Period. It limits the potential positive Index-Linked Interest that may be credited for a Crediting Period. Each Index-Linked Interest Strategy that is subject to a Cap Rate has its own Cap Rate. | |
| Contract | The F&G Confidence Builder Contract, which is a single premium deferred index-linked annuity contract between F&G and you, as the Owner. | |
| Contract Adjustment | An Asset Adjustment and/or Equity Adjustment used to determine your Strategy Interim Value for an Index-Linked Interest Strategy. | |
1
| Contract Anniversary | The annual anniversary of the Effective Date of your Contract. | |
| Contract Year | The 12-month period starting on the Effective Date and each anniversary of your Effective Date while the Contract remains in force. | |
| Crediting Date | The last day of a Crediting Period. | |
| Crediting Method | The Cap Rate or the Performance Trigger Rate; the Buffer; and the calculating methodology (Point to Point or Annual Lock) that determines the applicable Index-Linked Interest credited for a Strategy at the end of a Crediting Period. A “Point to Point” methodology measures the net performance of the applicable Index between the beginning of the first day of a Crediting Period and Crediting Date, while an “Annual Lock methodology measures the net performance of the applicable Index each Contract Year during the Crediting Period. | |
| Crediting Period | The investment period over which performance of an Index is measured to determine the amount of Index-Linked Interest credited for an Index-Linked Interest Strategy, or, for the Fixed Interest Strategy, the one-year period over which interest is credited at a specified declared rate. A Crediting Period is designated for each Index-Linked Interest Strategy and may be one, three, or six years. You may only reallocate your Strategy Account Value or Fixed Interest Strategy Value among the Fixed Interest Strategy and/or one or more Index- Linked Interest Strategies at the end of a Crediting Period. You may not reallocate your Strategy Account Value or Fixed Interest Strategy Value until the end of a Crediting Period. | |
| Effective Date | The date when the Contract is issued and the Premium is allocated to the Fixed Interest Strategy and/or one or more of the Index-Linked Interest Strategies for the initial Crediting Period. | |
| Equity Adjustment | An adjustment to your Strategy Base Value used to determine the Strategy Interim Value based on the value of a specific set of hypothetical derivatives. | |
| F&G (or the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) | Fidelity & Guaranty Life Insurance Company. | |
| Fixed Interest Strategy | The Investment Option under the Contract that provides for guaranteed interest, and is subject to a guaranteed minimum interest rate. The Fixed Interest Strategy is part of the Separate Account. | |
| Fixed Interest Strategy Value | The amount of your Account Value allocated to the Fixed Interest Strategy at any given time. | |
| Guaranteed Minimum Cap Rate | The Guaranteed Minimum Cap Rate is 2% for a point to point Index-Linked Interest Strategy with a one-year Crediting Period; 6% for a point to point Index-Linked Interest Strategy with a three-year Crediting Period; 3% for a point to point Index-Linked Interest Strategy with a six-year Crediting Period where the Index is Hindsight 20/20; 12% for a point to point Index-Linked Interest Strategy with a six-year Crediting Period with any other Index; and 2% for each year of an Annual Lock Index-Linked Interest Strategy with a six- year Crediting Period. | |
| Guaranteed Minimum Performance Trigger Rate | The Guaranteed Minimum Performance Trigger Rate is 0.50% for a point to point Index- Linked Interest Strategy with a one-year Crediting Period. | |
| Income Phase | The period beginning on the Maturity Date during which we make annuity payments to the Payee(s). | |
2
| Index | The market index used to determine the Index Change for a Strategy. Each Index is comprised of or defined by certain securities or by a combination of certain securities and other instruments. | |
| Index Change | The net change percentage in the Index Value of an Index from the start of a Crediting Period to the end of the Crediting Period, before any applicable adjustment for the Crediting Method applicable to an Index-Linked Interest Strategy. If the start or end of a Crediting Period is not on a Business Day, we will use the Index Value on the next Business Day to calculate the Index Change. | |
| Index Value | The closing value of an Index on any Business Day. If an Index Value is not published for a Business Day, we will use the closing Index Value from the next Business Day. | |
| Index-Linked Interest Strategy | An Investment Option under the Contract that provides for credited interest (either positive, negative, or equal to zero) based on the performance of a particular Index and the applicable Crediting Method. | |
| Index-Linked Interest | The dollar amount of interest credited under an Index-Linked Interest Strategy at the end of a Crediting Period. Index- Linked Interest can be positive, negative or equal to zero. | |
| Investment Options Maturity Date | The Index-Linked Interest Strategies and the Fixed Interest Strategy. The date the Income Phase begins. The Maturity Date is the Contract Anniversary on or first following the Annuitant’s (or oldest Annuitant’s if a Joint Annuitant is named) 100th birthday. You may change the Maturity Date to an earlier date following the first Contract Anniversary. | |
| Owner | The person(s) or legal entity entitled to exercise all rights and privileges under the Contract. Any reference to Owner in this prospectus includes any joint Owner. References to “you” in this prospectus refer to the Owner or a prospective Owner. In the case of a Qualified Contract, the Owner must be a natural person and joint Owners are not allowed. | |
| Payee | The person(s) or entity (or entities) designated by you to receive annuity payments during the Income Phase. You are the Payee unless you designate another person or entity as the Payee. | |
| Performance Trigger Rate | The Performance Trigger Rate is the percentage that will be credited if the Index Change is positive or equal to zero for a Crediting Period. For an Index-Linked Interest Strategy with a Performance Trigger Rate, if the Index Change is equal to zero or greater for a Crediting Period, the Adjusted Index Change will be equal to the Performance Trigger Rate for that Crediting Period. The Performance Trigger Rate limits the potential positive Index-Linked Interest that will be credited for a Crediting Period if the Index Change exceeds the Performance Trigger Rate. Each Index-Linked Interest Strategy that is subject to a Performance Trigger Rate has its own Performance Trigger Rate. | |
| Premium | The single premium paid to us under the Contract, less any applicable taxes due at the time the payment is made. | |
| Qualified/Non-Qualified Contract | A Qualified Contract is purchased as part of an individual retirement plan or an employer- sponsored plan. Currently, we offer two types of Qualified Contracts: (1) a traditional IRA, and (2) a Roth IRA. The Contract is not available for purchase by qualified retirement plans, as a “section 403(b) contract,” or in the form of a Simplified Employee Pension or SIMPLE Retirement Account. A Non-Qualified Contract is a Contract that is not a Qualified Contract. | |
3
| Strategy Account Value | During a Crediting Period, you have a Strategy Account Value for each Index-Linked Interest Strategy in which you invest. On the Effective Date, your Strategy Account Value equals the Premium you allocate the Index-Linked Interest Strategy. On each Business Day other than the Effective Date or a Crediting Date during the first six Contract Years, your Strategy Account Value equals your Strategy Interim Value. On a Crediting Date during the first six Contract Years, your Strategy Account Value includes the Asset Adjustment. Your Strategy Account Value is the amount available for withdrawals, surrenders, annuitization and death benefits. | |
| Strategy Interim Value | For each Index-Linked Interest Strategy in which you invest, your Strategy Account Value equals your Strategy Interim Value on any Business Day except for the Effective Date and a Crediting Date. The Strategy Interim Value is calculated by using a formula that takes into account the Equity Adjustment and the Asset Adjustment to your Strategy Base Value. | |
| Surrender Charge Period | The first six Contract Years. | |

Important Information You Should Consider About the Contract
|
FEES, EXPENSES, AND ADJUSTMENTS |
Location in Prospectus | |||
| Are There Charges or Adjustments for Early Withdrawals? | Yes. If you surrender your Contract or withdraw money from the Contract for up to 6 years following the Contract’s Effective Date, you will be assessed a surrender charge of up to 7% of Account Value withdrawn. For example, if you make a withdrawal in the first year, you could pay a withdrawal charge of up to $7,000 on a $100,000 investment. This loss will be greater if there is a negative Contract Adjustment, taxes, or tax penalties.
There is a Contract Adjustment for amounts removed from an Index-Linked Interest Strategy before the Crediting Date, or, prior to the sixth Contract Anniversary, on a Crediting Date, which could be negative. You could lose up to 100% of your Strategy Base Value due to the Contract Adjustment in extreme situations. For example, if you allocate $100,000 to an Index-Linked Interest Strategy with a 3-year Crediting Period and later withdraw the entire amount before the 3 years have elapsed, you could lose up to $100,000 of your investment. This loss will be greater (but never more than 100%) if you also have to pay a surrender charge, taxes and tax penalties. If you surrender your Contract, take a withdrawal, annuitize or if a death benefit is paid from an Index-Linked Interest Strategy on any date prior to the Crediting Date, or, prior to the sixth Contract Anniversary, on a Crediting Date, your Contract Value in the Index-Linked Interest Strategy will be subject to the Contract Adjustment.

| Are There Transaction Charges?
|
No. There are no charges for transactions other than surrender charges and Contract Adjustments. | Not applicable | ||
| Are There Ongoing Fees and Expenses? | No. However, there is an implicit ongoing fee on the Index-Linked Interest Strategies to the extent that your participation in Index gains is limited by each Index-Linked Interest Strategy’s Cap Rate or Performance Trigger Rate. This means that your returns may be lower than Index returns. In return for accepting this limit on Index gains, you will receive some protection from Index losses.

RISKS |
Location in Prospectus | |||
| Is There a Risk of Loss from Poor Performance? | Yes. You could lose money by investing in the Contract. If you invest in an Index-Linked Interest Strategy, at the end of a Crediting Period, under extreme circumstances, you could lose up to 90% of your investment in an Index-Linked Interest Strategy with a 10% Buffer and up to 80% of your investment in an | PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE CONTRACT – MARKET RISK AND RISK OF LOSS IN INDEX-LINKED | ||

| Index-Linked Interest Strategy with a 20% Buffer. If you select an Index-Linked Interest Strategy with an Annual Lock Crediting Method, the Buffer Percentage applies each Contract Year during the Crediting Period, and at the end of a Crediting Period you could lose significantly more due to compounding annual losses. We will always offer an Index-Linked Crediting Strategy with the protection of at least a 10% Buffer.
|
INTEREST STRATEGIES | |||
| Is this a Short-Term Investment? | No. The Contract is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash because the Contract is designed to provide for the accumulation of retirement savings and income on a long-term basis. As such, you should not use the Contract as a short-term investment or savings vehicle.
A surrender charge may apply in certain circumstances and any withdrawals may also be subject to federal and state income taxes and tax penalties. If you surrender your Contract, take a withdrawal, annuitize or if a death benefit is paid from an Index-Linked Interest Strategy on any date prior to the Crediting Date, or, prior to the sixth Contract Anniversary, on a Crediting Date, your Contract Value in the Index-Linked Interest Strategy will be subject to the Contract Adjustment.
Strategy Account Value in an Index-Linked Interest Strategy will be reallocated on the Crediting Date according to your instructions. If you have not provided us with instructions, your investment in an Index-Linked Interest Strategy or the Fixed Income Strategy will automatically be invested in the same Index-Linked Interest Strategy or the Fixed Income Strategy for the next Crediting Period. If the same Index-Linked Interest Strategy is not available, we will instead transfer your Strategy Account Value to the Fixed Interest Strategy.
|
PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE CONTRACT - EARLY WITHDRAWAL AND LIQUIDITY RISK | ||
| What Are the Risks Associated with the Investment Options? | An investment in the Contract is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and can vary depending on the performance of the Indices for the Index-Linked Interest Strategies under the Contract. Each Investment Option, including the Fixed Interest Strategy, will have its own unique risks. You should review the Investment Options before making an investment decision.
For investments in an Index-Linked Interest Strategy, the Cap Rate or Performance Trigger Rate may limit positive Index performance (e.g., limited upside). For example:
• If the Index-Linked Interest Strategy has a Cap Rate, if the Index Change is 12% and the Cap Rate is 8%, the Adjusted Index Change would be 8% on the Crediting Date. In the case of an Index-Linked Interest Strategy with an Annual Lock Crediting Method, the Cap Rate will apply to the performance of the Index each Contract Year during the Crediting Period; and |
PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE CONTRACT - INDEX-LINKED INTEREST STRATEGY RISK AND - FIXED INTEREST STRATEGY RISK | ||
6
|
• If the Index-Linked Interest Strategy has a Performance Trigger Rate, if the Index Change is equal to or greater than zero and the Index Trigger Rate is 5%, the Adjusted Index Change would be 5% on the Crediting Date; and
This may result in you earning less than the Index Change.
For investments in an Index-Linked Interest Strategy, the Buffer will limit negative returns on a Crediting Date (e.g., limited protection in the case of market decline). For example:
• If the Index Change is -25% and the Buffer is 10%, the Adjusted Index Change would be -15% (the amount that the Index Change exceeds the Buffer) on the Crediting Date. In the case of an Index-Linked Interest Strategy with an Annual Lock Crediting Method, the Buffer will apply to the performance of the Index each Contract Year during the Crediting Period.
Each Index is a price return index, not a total return index, and therefore does not reflect dividends paid on the securities composing the Index. This will reduce the Index Change and will cause the Index to underperform a direct investment in the securities composing the Index.
|
||||
| What Are the Risks Related to the Insurance Company? | An investment in the Contract is subject to the risks related to the Company. The Company is solely responsible to the Contract owner for the Account Value and the guaranteed benefits. The general obligations including the Fixed Interest Strategy and Index-Linked Interest Strategies under the Contract are supported by our general account and are subject to our claims paying ability. An owner should look solely to our financial strength for our claims-paying ability. More information about the Company, including our financial strength ratings, may be obtained at https://www.fglife.com/about.

|
RESTRICTIONS |
Location in Prospectus | |||
| Are There Restrictions on the Investment Options? | Yes. You cannot transfer out of an Index-Linked Interest Strategy to another Investment Option prior to the Crediting Date. If you do not want to remain invested in an Index-Linked Interest Strategy until Crediting Date, your only options are to make withdrawals out of the Index-Linked Interest Strategy or surrender the Contract. The amount you would receive would be subject to Contract Adjustments, and may be subject to surrender charges, taxes and tax penalties.
At least 30 days prior to the end of a Crediting Period, we will send written notice with instructions for how you can obtain the Cap Rates and Performance Trigger Rates that |

| we have established by that time for the next Crediting Period. We can change the Cap Rates and Performance Trigger Rates for each Crediting Period, subject to the Guaranteed Minimum Cap Rate and the Guaranteed Minimum Performance Trigger Rate, respectively. There is no guarantee that any particular Index-Linked Interest Strategy will be available for the entire time that you own your Contract. We may add or remove an Index or an Index-Linked Interest Strategy during the time that you own the Contract. Therefore, an Index-Linked Interest Strategy may not be available for you to invest your Strategy Account Value after a Crediting Date. We reserve the right to stop offering all but one Index-Linked Interest Strategy (the S&P 500® Index with a 1-Year Crediting Period, Buffer Rate of 10% and a Cap).
We have the right to substitute an alternative index prior to the Crediting Date if the Index is discontinued, if there is a substantial change in the calculation of the Index, if the fees to use an Index substantially increase, or if hedging instruments become difficult to acquire or the cost of hedging becomes excessive. If we substitute an index for an existing Index-Linked Interest Strategy during a Crediting Period, we will not change the Buffer and the Cap Rate or Performance Trigger Rate for the Crediting Period. We would select a new Index that is similar to the old Index based on factors such as asset class, Index composition, strategy or methodology inherent to the Index and Index liquidity.
|
||||
| Are There Any Restrictions on Contract Benefits? | Yes.
• Withdrawals will reduce the death benefit, perhaps by more than the amount withdrawn.
• The death benefit is not payable during the Income Phase and will terminate without value as of the Maturity Date.
• The waiver of surrender charges for impairment, nursing home confinement and terminal illness are not available until after the first Contract Anniversary.

TAXES |
Location in Prospectus | |||
| What are the Contract’s Tax Implications? | You should consult with a tax professional to determine the tax implications of an investment in, and payments received under, the Contract. There is no additional tax benefit to you if the Contract is purchased through a tax-qualified plan or individual retirement account (IRA). Withdrawals will be subject to ordinary income tax and may be subject to tax penalties. Generally, you are not taxed until you make a withdrawal from the Contract. | TAXES | ||

|
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST |
Location in Prospectus | |||
| How are Investment Professionals Compensated? | Some financial professionals may receive compensation for selling the Contract to you, both in the form of commissions or in the form of contribution-based compensation. Financial professionals may also receive additional compensation for enhanced marketing opportunities and other services (commonly referred to as “marketing allowances”). This conflict of interest may influence the financial professional to recommend this Contract over another investment.
|
Additional Information - Distribution | ||
| Should I Exchange My Contract? | Some financial professionals may have a financial incentive to offer a new contract in place of the one you already own. You should only exchange your Contract if you determine, after comparing the features, fees, and risks of both contracts, that it is preferable to purchase the new contract rather than continue to own your existing Contract. | Additional Information - Distribution | ||

Appendix A: Investment Options Available Under the Contract
Index-Linked Interest Strategies
The following is a list of Index-Linked Interest Strategies currently available under the Contract. We may change the features of the Index-Linked Interest Strategies listed below (including the Index and the current limits on Index gains), offer new Index-Linked Interest Strategies and terminate existing Index-Linked Interest Strategies. We will provide you with written notice before making any changes other than changes to current limits on Index gains. Information about current limits on Index gains is available at https://success.fglife.com/rila/rates.
Note: If amounts are removed from an Index-Linked Interest Strategy before the end of its Crediting Period or, prior to the sixth Contract Anniversary, on a Crediting Date, we will apply a Contract Adjustment. This may result in a significant reduction in your Account Value that could exceed any protection from Index loss that would be in place if you waited until the end of the Crediting Period.
See ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE INDEX-LINKED INTEREST STRATEGIES of the prospectus for a description of the Index-Linked Interest Strategies’ features. See FEES, CHARGES AND ADJUSTMENTS of the prospectus for more information about Contract Adjustments.

| 2 | Hindsight 20/20 performance is based on the best performance for the applicable Crediting Period among three BofA MP Indices: the BofA MP Growth Index, the BofA MP Balanced Index or the BofA Defensive Index. Each of the BofA MP Indices follows a rules-based methodology designed to provide exposure in different proportions to four markets: U.S. large-capitalization companies, U.S. Treasury bonds, U.S. high yield corporate bonds, and gold through certain exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The performance of the BofA MP Indices is reduced by a negative adjustment to the performance of three of the four underlying total return ETFs to approximate returns without dividends or distributions paid by the component companies, in other words, the price return. This will reduce each Index’s Index performance and will cause the Index to underperform a direct investment in the companies included in the Index. |
Each Index-Linked Interest Strategy’s limit on Index losses is guaranteed not to change for so long as that Index-Linked Interest Strategy remains available under the Contract. However, we reserve the right to add and remove Index-Linked Interest Strategies as available investment options. As such, the limits on Index loss offered under the Contract may change from one Crediting Period to the next. We will always offer an Index-Linked Interest Strategy with the protection of at least a 10% Buffer.
If we offer a new Index-Linked Interest Strategy with an Cap Rate in the future, the Guaranteed Minimum Cap Rate will be at least 2% for a point to point Index-Linked Interest Strategy with a one-year Crediting Period; 6% for a point to point Index-Linked Interest Strategy with a three-year Crediting Period; 3% for a point to point Index-Linked Interest Strategy with a six-year Crediting Period where the Index is Hindsight 20/20; 12% for a point to point Index-Linked Interest Strategy with a six-year Crediting Period with any other Index; and 2% for each year of an Annual Lock Index-Linked Interest Strategy with a six-year Crediting Period. If we offer a new Index-Linked Interest Strategy with a Performance Trigger Rate in the future, the Guaranteed Minimum Performance Trigger Rate will be 0.50% for a point to point Index-Linked Interest Strategy with a one-year Crediting Period. We reserve the right to offer Index-Linked Interest Strategies with different types of limits on Index gains.
