Yes , there are limits on the Investment Options.
• Certain Index Options may not be available under your Contract (see Appendix A).
• The availability of Investment Options may vary depending on the broker-dealer through
which the Contract is sold (see Appendix H).
• We can add new Index Options to your Contract in the future.
• You cannot allocate Purchase Payments to the Variable Option. The sole purpose of the
Variable Option is to hold Purchase Payments until they are transferred to your selected
Index Options.
• We restrict additional Purchase Payments during the Accumulation Phase. Each Index
Year before the Income Period, you cannot add more than your initial amount (i.e., the
total of all Purchase Payments received before the first Quarterly Contract Anniversary of
the first Contract Year) without our prior approval.
• We do not accept additional Purchase Payments during the Income Period (which is part
of the Accumulation Phase) or the Annuity Phase.
• We typically only allow assets to move into the Index Options on the Index Effective Date
and on subsequent Index Anniversaries as discussed in section 3, Purchasing the
Contract - Allocation of Purchase Payments and Contract Value Transfers. However, if
you execute an Early Reallocation, we will move assets into an Index Option on the
Business Day we receive your Early Reallocation request in Good Order.
• You can typically transfer Index Option Value only on Term End Dates. However, you can
transfer assets out of an Index Option before the Term End Date by first executing a
Performance Lock and then either requesting an Early Reallocation with new allocation
instructions or changing your allocation instructions before the next Index Anniversary.
For more information, see section 6, Valuing Your Contract - Performance Locks and
Early Reallocations.
• We do not allow assets to move into an established Index Option until the Term End Date.
If you request to allocate a Purchase Payment into an established Index Option on an
Index Anniversary that is not a Term End Date, we will allocate those assets to the same
Index Option with a new Term Start Date.
• We reserve the right to substitute the Fund in which the Variable Option invests. We also
reserve the right to close Index Options to new Purchase Payments and transfers, and to
substitute Indexes either on a Term Start Date or during a Term.
• We may terminate your ability to make additional Purchase Payments during the
Accumulation Phase because we reserve the right to decline any or all Purchase
Payments at any time on a nondiscriminatory basis.
• Caps, Trigger Rates, and Participation Rates will change from one Term to the next
subject to their contractual minimum guarantees.
• The 10%, 20%, and 30% Buffers, and -10% Floors for the currently available Index
Options do not change. However, if we add a new Index Option to your Contract after the
Issue Date, we establish the Buffer or Floor for it on the date we add the Index Option to
your Contract. For a new Index Option, the minimum Buffer is 5% and the minimum Floor
is -25%.
