Guarantees, including any income or death benefit guarantees, are subject to the claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company. Interest rate caps, participation rates, and other crediting terms are subject to change at renewal, within any contract-guaranteed minimums. Fixed indexed annuities are insurance products, not securities or investment advisory products, and are not FDIC or NCUA insured, are not bank deposits, and are not guaranteed by any bank or credit union.
