Brighthouse Shield Level II Advisory Annuity is a long-term contract intended for retirement or other long-term investment purposes. It uses a portion of retirement assets to help take advantage of market growth opportunities with the assurance of a level of downside protection other investment options may not provide. A Shield annuity is an index-linked annuity that doesn’t invest directly in the chosen index or indices, but rather tracks their performance.
Interim Value
The Interim Value calculation uses a hypothetical portfolio approach which aligns with industry standards. The Interim Value for each Shield Option is equal to the sum of (1) the market value of the Fixed Income Asset Proxy and (2), the current market value of the Derivative Asset Proxy.
Performance Lock Feature
Each Shield Level II Annuity product offers the Performance Lock feature, which is available with all Shield Options (not available on Shield Level Pay Plus II). The Contract Owner will be able to lock the Interim Value once per Term. Performance Lock Value can be transferred to another Shield Option or the Fixed Account on any Contract Anniversary after the Performance Lock is exercised. Once the Performance Lock is exercised, it is irrevocable.

- We will issue Inherited IRAs allowing for the Life Expectancy IRS exception (stretch) for Eligible Designated Beneficiaries (i.e., normal IRA stretch rules). This includes spouses and beneficiaries no more than 10 years younger than the original IRA owner
