Your clients can choose from six interest crediting strategies

Declared Crediting

A basic yet effective approach, in which interest is credited daily at a declared effective annual rate that we set at the start of each one-year crediting period.

S&P 500® Index

The S&P 500® is widely regarded as the best single gauge of the U.S. equities market. This world-renowned index includes a representative sample of 500 leading companies in leading industries of the U.S. economy. Although the S&P 500® focuses on the large-cap segment of the market, it is also an ideal proxy for the total market. Available as a 1-year or 2-year point-to-point crediting strategy.

S&P 500® Performance Trigger

This crediting strategy is based the performance of the world’s premier equities benchmark. If the index value has gone up or has stayed the same at the end of the point-to-point period, clients are credited a fixed interest rate. For example, if the performance trigger rate is 5.00%, clients would get credited 5.00%, as long as the value of the index did not decrease.

If the market index value went down, you will be credited 0.00%. So, you will never lose a penny of your premiums paid and earned interest — any gains are locked in. You can never lose interest previously credited.

  • Offers strong interest potential during market upturns.
  • The Performance Trigger rate is determined at the start of each point-to-point period.

S&P 500® Monthly Sum Cap

This index also tracks the world’s premier equities benchmark, but its credit is calculated based in part on the 12 monthly changes in the index during the year. Unlike the point to point crediting method, we apply the Cap to each monthly change, then total the 12 months (both positive and negative) to determine the credited amount.

  • Offers strong interest potential during market upturns.
  • Cap is determined at the start of the account year.

US Fundamental Balanced Index

This index aims to minimize volatility through a blend of U.S. equities, U.S. treasuries, and cash. The asset classes are rebalanced daily to seek to minimize risk and the mix of U.S. equities is revised quarterly. This index was created and is owned by PIMCO. Available as a 1-year or 2-year point-to-point crediting strategy.

Global Balanced Index

This index aims to enhance risk-adjusted returns by tracking a blend of global asset classes: equities, bonds, and commodities. The index composition is rebalanced among asset classes monthly based on the SG Sentiment Indicator. This indicator is made up of six cross-asset market risk measures. The overall allocation is then reviewed daily to reduce market exposure in case of high volatility. This index was created and owned by Société Générale. Available as a 1-year or 2-year point-to-point crediting strategy.

The Global Balanced SG Index (the “Index”) is the exclusive property of SG Americas Securities, LLC (SG Americas Securities, LLC, together with its affiliates, “SG”). SG has contracted with [S&P Opco, LLC (a subsidiary of S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC] (“S&P”) to maintain and calculate the Index. “SG Americas Securities, LLC”, “SGAS”, “Société Générale”, “SG”, “Société Générale Indices”, “SGI”, and “Global Balanced SG Index” (collectively, the “SG Marks”) are trademarks or service marks of SG. SG has licensed use of the SG Marks to Life Insurance Company of the Southwest (“LICS”) for use in a fixed indexed annuity offered by LICS (the “Fixed Indexed Annuity”). SG’s sole contractual relationship with LICS is to license the Index and the SG Marks to LICS. None of SG, S&P, or other third party licensor (collectively, the “Index Parties”) to SG is acting, or has been authorized to act, as an agent of LICS or has in any way sponsored, promoted, solicited, negotiated, endorsed, offered, sold, issued, supported, structured or priced any Fixed Indexed Annuity or provided investment advice to LICS. No Index Party has passed on the legality or suitability of, or the accuracy or adequacy of the descriptions and disclosures relating to, the Fixed Indexed Annuity, including those disclosures with respect to the Index. The Index Parties make no representation whatsoever, whether express or implied, as to the advisability of purchasing, selling or holding any product linked to the Index, including the Fixed Indexed Annuity, or the ability of the Index to meet its stated objectives, including meeting its target volatility. The Index Parties have no obligation to, and will not, take the needs of LICS or any annuitant into consideration in determining, composing or calculating the Index. The selection of the Index as a crediting option under a Fixed Indexed Annuity does not obligate LICS or SG to invest annuity payments in the components of the Index. THE INDEX PARTIES MAKE NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WHATSOEVER, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE), WITH RESPECT TO THE INDEX OR ANY DATA INCLUDED THEREIN OR RELATING THERETO, AND IN PARTICULAR DISCLAIM ANY GUARANTEE OR WARRANTY EITHER AS TO THE QUALITY, ACCURACY, TIMELINESS AND/OR COMPLETENESS OF THE INDEX OR ANY DATA INCLUDED THEREIN, THE RESULTS OBTAINED FROM THE USE OF THE INDEX AND/OR THE CALCULATION OR COMPOSITION OF THE INDEX, OR CALCULATIONS MADE WITH RESPECT TO ANY FIXED INDEXED ANNUITY AT ANY PARTICULAR TIME ON ANY PARTICULAR DATE OR OTHERWISE. THE INDEX PARTIES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE (WHETHER IN NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) TO ANY PERSON FOR ANY ERROR OR OMISSION IN THE INDEX OR IN THE CALCULATION OF THE INDEX, AND THE INDEX PARTIES ARE UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO ADVISE ANY PERSON OF ANY ERROR THEREIN, OR FOR ANY INTERRUPTION IN THE CALCULATION OF THE INDEX. NO INDEX PARTY SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY PARTY FOR ANY ACT OR FAILURE TO ACT BY THE INDEX PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE DETERMINATION, ADJUSTMENT OR MAINTENANCE OF THE INDEX. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, IN NO EVENT SHALL AN INDEX PARTY HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY DIRECT DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS OR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF NOTIFIED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. No Index Party is a fiduciary or agent of any purchaser, seller or holder of a Fixed Indexed Annuity. None of SG, S&P, or any third party licensor shall have any liability with respect to the Fixed Indexed Annuity in which an interest crediting option is based is on the Index, nor for any loss relating to the Fixed Indexed Annuity, whether arising directly or indirectly from the use of the Index, its methodology, any SG Mark or otherwise. Obligations to make payments under the Fixed Indexed Annuities are solely the obligation of LICS. In calculating the performance of the Index, SG deducts a maintenance fee of 0.50% per annum on the level of the Index, and fixed transaction and replication costs, each calculated and deducted on a daily basis. The transaction and replication costs cover, among other things, rebalancing and replication costs. The total amount of transaction and replication costs is not predictable and will depend on a number of factors, including the leverage of the Index, which may be as high as 200%, the performance of the indexes underlying the Index, market conditions and the changes in the market states, among other factors. The transaction and replication costs, which are increased by the Index’s leverage, and the maintenance fee will reduce the potential positive change in the Index and increase the potential negative change in the Index. While the volatility control applied by the Index may result in less fluctuation in rates of return as compared to indices without volatility controls, it may also reduce the overall rate of return as compared to products not subject to volatility controls.
