Fixed indexed annuities are not stock, bond or commodity market investments and do not directly participate in any equity, bond, other securities or commodities investments. Market Indices do not include dividends paid on the underlying stocks, and therefore do not reflect the total return of the underlying stocks; neither an Index nor any market-indexed annuity is comparable to a direct investment in the equity markets. Clients who purchase indexed annuities are not directly investing in the equity, bond, or other securities or commodities markets.

Guarantees provided by annuities are subject to the financial strength of the issuing insurance company. Not a deposit.  Not insured any federal government agency.
