The Details

The index-linked gain depends on the various indexing features of the Equity-Indexed Annuity, which may include a participation rate and an interest rate cap.
A participation rate determined how much of the gain in the index will be credited to the annuity.
An interest rate cap is the maximum rate of interest the annuity can earn. Both of these features could limit full participation in a positive change in the index.
The indexed-linked gain will also be affected by the indexing method, which is used to calculate the amount of change, if any, in the relevant index. Additional fees may apply. Review your contract for details.
