Retirement is a time to change the pace. You can set aside the daily routine and do what you want, when you want. Whether your life in retirement will be leisurely or actively on the go, your retirement strategy should have a common goal. Your income must keep up with your needs. Let Index Bonus 115 show you how. SM
Change your pace with Index Bonus 115 fixed index annuity A fixed index annuity (FIA) may be the savings strategy you seek, if you are looking for: Protection for your money without the erratic ups and downs of the stock market Potential for greater interest crediting than traditional interest accounts offer Among people who share these sentiments, FIAs offer a well balanced blend of protection and potential. FIAs are long-term insurance products for retirement. Purchasing an FIA offers some potential advantages over equity investing and traditional interest-bearing accounts 1. FIAs provide: Interest crediting that can be fixed or linked to the performance of an equity index Protection against losses from poor savings performance Tax-deferred accrual of interest earnings Death benefit proceeds that transfer directly to beneficiaries By offering the ability to link interest crediting to an equity index, such as the S&P 500, FIAs provide greater interest crediting potential than traditional interest-based products. FIAs are for long-term saving purposes, not for short-term needs. Withdrawals during the early years may incur charges assessed as a percentage of the withdrawal, known as surrender charges, unless they are received through an income benefit feature. These charges vary by product. FIAs are insurance contracts, not securities, and do not directly participate in any stock, bond or equity savings. Contract owners are not purchasing shares of any stock or index, even though index performance may indirectly affect contract values. Index-based crediting methods may experience years with 0% crediting and are subject to a cap or spread. A fixed crediting method is also available. Index Bonus 115 is a single-premium product. 1 Traditional deposit products are FDIC insured. Fixed index annuities are not FDIC insured and guarantees are based on the claims-paying ability of the issuing company. 2
Kick up your income Index Bonus 115 may be ideal for clients who: Plan to retire within 10 years Want a guaranteed lifetime income stream Are looking for greater interest crediting potential, without market risk Believe in the potential of equity index-based performance Are comfortable knowing interest crediting may not be guaranteed Here s an example of how the Income Base 1 growth works based on a premium deposit of $100,000, assuming no withdrawals and no prior income activation. Start Day 1 Years 2-11 Activity Initial Premium Activity Income bonus 1 = 15% of premium Activity Income base = 6% of Income Base compounded annually Income Base Value $100,000 Income Base Value 2 $115,000 Income Base Value 2 $205,947 Guaranteed Lifetime Income Benefit (GLIB) is included for an annual charge of 0.95% and calculated using the contract value as of the prior contract anniversary and is deducted monthly from the contract value. The Index Bonus 115 FIA includes the Guaranteed Lifetime Income Benefit (GLIB) at an annual cost of 0.95% of the contract value as of the previous contract anniversary and is deducted monthly from the contract value. The GLIB provides a separate value called the Income Base (contractually known as the Guaranteed Lifetime Income Account Value), which is used solely for calculating your annual guaranteed lifetime income amount. The Income Base has no cash value. Your guaranteed lifetime income amount will be a percentage of your Income Base determined by your age at the time you begin income. This is known as your Income Benefit Factor. You continue to receive the guaranteed lifetime income amount even after the contract value is depleted. 3 Contract value continues to receive interest credits even after you elect to begin the GLIB. Your Income Base is guaranteed to grow at a rate of 6% per year at each contract anniversary for the first 10 years (assuming no withdrawals), or until you elect the Guaranteed Lifetime Income Benefit, if earlier. After that time, the Income Base will no longer grow. 1 The Income Base and Income Bonus are not available on cash surrender or as death benefits. 2 Assuming no prior withdrawals and no prior income activation. 3 Assumes no excess withdrawals. 3 Guarantees are based on the claims-paying ability of Forethought Life Insurance Company and assume compliance with the product s benefit rules, as applicable.
