Fixed index annuity review and rates

Lincoln OptiBlend 5

The Lincoln OptiBlend 5 is a flexible premium fixed indexed annuity with a 5-year surrender charge period and MVA provision. The Lincoln OptiBlend 5 provides advantages such as tax deferral, long-term growth, and a death benefit payout with the added benefit of enhanced growth with no risk of loss of premium due to market fluctuations. 

The Lincoln OptiBlend 5 is not an investment in the stock market. It is a fixed annuity that credits interest based on distinct Index Account Options Index (including the S&P 500 Daily Risk Control 5% Index) and the annual performance of the underlying indices with a fixed account option.
