With 68% of Americans expecting continued market volatility in 2025 (1), clients are looking to you for guidance on managing uncertainty while still pursuing growth. Fixed index annuities can be a powerful tool, and one key feature—Index Lock—gives clients more control over their financial outcomes.

Allowing clients to lock in a positive index value once per crediting period helps protect against midterm volatility while maintaining potential upside. Rather than waiting until the end of the crediting period, clients can act when market conditions are in their favor, providing reassurance and a sense of stability.

Exercising an Index Lock may result in a credit higher or lower than if the Index Lock had not been exercised.
