About Product
Allows you to lock in your interim value at any point during the Index Account Option Term.
- Lock in interim value (positive or negative) —at any point during a 1-, 3-, or 6-year Index Account Option Term (term).
- The value at the lock-in point moves to the short-duration fixed account until your next contract anniversary.
- On the anniversary, the fixed account’s value can be reallocated to the initial term or another available Index Account Option Term. If no reallocation choice is made, funds within the short-duration fixed account will be moved to a new term of the original selection.
- Elect your lock at any time during the selected term, or have it occur automatically.
An Intra-term Performance Lock ends the Index Account Option Term for the Index Account Option out of which it is transferred, effectively terminating that Index Account Option. Once an Intra-term Performance Lock has been processed, it is irrevocable.
End-term Performance Lock
- Once elected, automatically transfer earnings to the 1-year fixed account at the end of the selected 1-, 3-, or 6-year term.
- At the next contract anniversary, you can reallocate the 1-year fixed account’s value to the initial term or another available Index Account Option Term.
- Elect at issue or any time during the selected term.
