Important Considerations Clients with a need for guaranteed retirement income within two-20 years represent the audience generally most appropriate for the GFIA II. Keep in mind, advisors are ultimately responsible for determining the most appropriate product for a client, not the wholesaler. In some cases, the competition may be more appropriate. As such, figures/results should not be mischaracterized or misrepresented. Keep in mind, figures shown are the floor guarantees for sample GMWB, with the potential to be higher, while the GFIA II figures represent stable fixed payment amounts. 4
