Nationwide New Heights Select is a single premium fixed indexed deferred annuity. New Heights Select offers a growth opportunity with strategy options that track the performance of an index and lock in earnings at the end of each strategy term. Strategy options also guarantee your contract value will never go down due to the negative performance of an index. 

Please note if an independent agent wants to sell New Heights Select, they have to go through Annexus.
