Fixed Index Annuities
What is a fixed index annuity? A fixed index annuity (FIA) is a contract between you and an insurance company. In exchange for the money you place in your annuity, the insurance company guarantees several benefits – including a steady stream of retirement income. And because it’s designed to help you prepare for retirement, a fixed index annuity provides certain tax advantages as well. The performance of FIAs are tied to specific underlying stock indices. What does that mean? Good question. Essentially, it means your money grows according to either a fixed rate or the performance of the indices you choose – or both. If you choose to allocate your money to the available indices, your money won’t grow uniformly as with a fixed annuity. Instead, your growth will be based on the growth, if any, of the indices you have chosen. This also means there is opportunity for a higher yield relative to a fixed rate at the end of your term. Do you need to worry about market uncertainty? Any financial product with ties to the market comes with some inherent risk, but fixed index annuities register low in terms of risk. The initial money you put into this annuity type is not actually invested in stocks or bonds. The index strategy options of the product will never result in negative interest credited to your contract, which means you are protected from dips in the market when stocks – and other more volatile investment options – lose value. You have an opportunity to track the returns of indices that are provided and administered by leaders in the index industry, making your return linked to the performance of these indices. From there, the interest earned is credited based on your selected index’s performance. If the value of the index goes up during a defined period, so does the interest you earn. What does that look like? Great question. Let’s break it down with a hypothetical example below.
This chart assumes no fees, charges, or withdrawals are taken from the FIA during the illustrated period and reinvestment of dividends is not included. Index past performance is not indicative of future results. The hypothetical performance of the fixed index annuity, as illustrated, assumes a $100,000 premium, a cap of 10.00% (using the 1-Year Point-to-Point with Cap crediting method only) and assumes no withdrawals or surrender charges during period shown. This hypothetical example is for illustrative purposes only and not intended to be the performance of any specific product.

Synergy Choice TM Income When it comes to planning for retirement, there are many strategies to help you reach your goals. Synergy Choice Income from Aspida Life Insurance Company can be a valuable part of your retirement portfolio for a number of reasons. 1 Synergy Choice Income has a built-in Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit (GLWB) rider that allows you to create a guaranteed stream of income that can last as long as your retirement. The amount you receive can increase the longer you wait to start income payments. Nursing Home and meet eligibility requirements. 2 3 Having access to your funds can give you the peace-of-mind you need. You can withdraw Increase your lifetime income when you and your family might need it most with the Enhanced Nursing Home Multiplier. Increase your lifetime income withdrawal amount for up to 60 months, or until the Contract Value has been depleted, if you are confined to a up to 10% of your contract value each year free of surrender charges – after the first year of your contract – to help cover the unexpected. You can also withdraw from your tax-qualified IRA any RMD required by the IRS after 30 days, even if it exceeds the free withdrawal amount. Prior to the rider’s activation, all withdrawals and RMDs will proportionally reduce your rider’s future income. 5 Finally, if the unexpected does occur, knowing where your money goes is important. Our Synergy Choice Income can give you the security you need in case something were to happen to you. The death benefit pays the full account value plus a prorated portion of any index growth from the current crediting period directly to your beneficiaries without the delays and costs associated with probate, letting your family focus on the things that matter most. 4 A fixed index annuity gives you the potential to earn interest in two different ways. You can earn interest based on your choice of several index options, or you can choose to receive fixed interest.
A Guaranteed Strategy
What’s your retirement dream? For some, it’s a trip around the world. For others, it’s being afforded the flexibility to have a lifelong passion become a daily hobby. When it comes to retirement dreams, possibilities are endless. But is your retirement strategy working for you to help you get there, like you intended? That’s where a fixed index annuity with Aspida can help by offering flexibility, security, and protection for all the roads life takes you on – the expected and unexpected. That’s what we like to call a guaranteed retirement strategy.
Guaranteed Income Lifetime income withdrawals from your rider are guaranteed – and your withdrawal amount can increase the longer you wait to begin taking income. 10
Flexibility Choose when and how often you receive your income payments.
RMD “Friendly” Withdrawals Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) that exceed your annual lifetime income withdrawal amount will not be subject to withdrawal charges or Market Value Adjustments and will not reduce any future lifetime income withdrawals.
Income to Last Lifetime, or Two By selecting Joint Life Withdrawals, you can provide for your spouse should your spouse outlive you.
Rider Charge This rider is included with Synergy Choice Income fixed indexed annuity and is automatically elected with the purchase of the Annuity Contract. 11 The Rider Charge is deducted on the Contract Effective Date, then annually on each Contract Anniversary from your annuity’s Contract Value. The Rider Charge is calculated as a percentage of the Benefit Base only. The Initial Annual Rider Charge Rate is declared in your contract. Refer to the Synergy Choice contract for complete details.
Growing income for life. There’s more to retirement planning than accumulating wealth. It’s just as important to create a guaranteed, stable source of income to help cover the unexpected. With Synergy Choice TM Income, your retirement dreams are protected with guaranteed income for life – regardless of how the market performs. Understanding the rider’s three distinct phases can help you make the most of your annuity’s income potential. Let’s break it down Growth Each year, a simple interest roll-up rate of 12% is earned on the initial premium and added to the Benefit Base. The interest continues to accrue for 10 years, or until the rider is activated. During this phase, all withdrawals will reduce the Benefit Base and the annual simple interest credits by the same percentage as the annuity’s Contract Value reduces. Income This phase begins when you activate the rider by starting lifetime income withdrawals, which reduce your annuity’s Contract Value. Withdrawals in excess of the lifetime income withdrawal amount will reduce future lifetime income withdrawals and in some instances will terminate the rider.
Guaranteed Income, No Matter What If lifetime income withdrawals (and not an Excess Withdrawal) reduce your Contract Value to zero, you’ll continue to receive the lifetime income withdrawal amount for the rest of your life.
Growth: Grow your Benefit Base to maximize income.
When you purchase the Synergy Choice Income fixed indexed annuity a Benefit Base is set up for your rider. A 32% Benefit Base Bonus provides you with an initial boost. The Benefit Base is used to determine your lifetime income withdrawal amount – the bigger the Benefit Base, the greater your income payment amount. Here’s how it works:
Simple Interest Roll-Up Rate
Initial Premium
Benefit Base Bonus
Withdrawals from Annuity
= Benefit Base
Your rider’s Benefit Base is not the same as the annuity’s Contract Value. The Contract Value is available for withdrawal and is used to determine the Cash Surrender Value of your fixed indexed annuity. On the other hand, think of the Benefit Base as a value that is used to calculate your lifetime income withdrawal amount. This value has no cash value or surrender value and cannot be withdrawn in a lump sum. A withdrawal from your Contract Value will reduce the rider’s Benefit Base (and thus the amount of future lifetime income withdrawals) proportionally. For example, withdrawing 10% from your Contract Value will reduce your Benefit Base by 10% too. Please see your contract for full details.
Income: Create an income stream that can last a lifetime. The rider allows you to select the lifetime income withdrawal option that is right for you. Single Life Withdrawals allows you to receive payments for the duration of your lifetime. Or, elect Joint Life Withdrawals to receive payments for the lifetimes of both you and your spouse. Payments can be taken monthly, quarterly or annually. 10 If you’re not sure how you want to set up your income payments when you purchase, you can make your elections when it’s time to start receiving payments. Once you begin receiving payments, you cannot make any changes to your elections.
Income: Calculating your lifetime income withdrawals. The income amount you receive is calculated using your Benefit Base amount and multiplying it by the applicable Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage found in the chart below. Percentages are based upon the Attained Age of the younger life at the time you elect to receive a lifetime income withdrawal. At activation if the Contract Value is higher than the Benefit Base there will be a one time increase to the Benefit Base to match the Contract Value. Once you decide to start lifetime income withdrawals, payments are guaranteed for life and will not decrease unless you withdraw more than the lifetime income withdrawal amount from your annuity.10

The Synergy Choice Guaranteed Lifetime Income Benefit Rider is Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) “friendly”. RMDs are required distributions, set by the IRS, which apply to qualified contracts. These RMD withdrawals are considered part of your free withdrawal amount, free of Withdrawal Charges and MVAs for the Contract Year. Prior to turning on income, an RMD will reduce the Benefit Base by the same percentage as your annuity’s Contract Value decreases. Additionally, an RMD is not considered an Excess Withdrawal, so it will not reduce any future lifetime income withdrawals – even if it exceeds your annual lifetime income withdrawal amount.
Increase your lifetime income when you and your family need it most. Your income rider’s Enhanced Nursing Home Multiplier may help you pay for the expenses of staying in a nursing home by multiplying your income amount by 200% for Single Life Withdrawals and 150% for Joint Life Withdrawals if you are confined to an Eligible Nursing Home and meet the eligibility requirements. This benefit is payable for a maximum of 60 months or until your annuity’s Contract Value is reduced to zero. Afterwards, your rider income will return to the original amount and continue for the rest of your life. Your rider’s income stream will be multiplied as long as: 1. You are not confined to an Eligible Nursing Home at the time the annuity contract or rider are issued. 2. You have had your annuity contract for at least 36 months and are in the income phase. 3. You meet all eligibility requirements outlined in your contract, including becoming confined to an Eligible Nursing Home for at least 90 consecutive days. 4. You have not received doubled payments for more than 60 months.
Please Note: This benefit is NOT long-term care insurance nor is it a substitute for such coverage. Additional requirements and restrictions may apply and availability varies by state. Increased payments will cease when your rider enters the extended income guarantee phase. If it’s already in this phase, you will not qualify for this benefit.
Guaranteed Income, No Matter What
Continue receiving income for the rest of your life – even after your Contract Value is depleted. This phase begins when you’re receiving lifetime income withdrawals and your annuity’s Contract Value goes to zero. The reduction of the Contract Value cannot be caused by an excess lifetime
income withdrawal.10 The amount you receive each year will remain level for the remainder of your life and is equal to the lifetime income withdrawal amount you were receiving prior to entering this phase.
Allocation Options
With Synergy Choice Income, you can earn fixed interest – or choose to base potential indexed interest on changes in several external market indexes.
Fixed Interest Strategy Allocation Synergy Choice Income lets you earn interest at a fixed rate if you wish. Aspida credits fixed interest daily based on the rate we establish at the beginning of each contact year. Indexed Interest Strategy Allocations You can also choose to earn potential interest based on your choice of several external market indexes. You can choose to allocate your premium among one – or more – index crediting strategies. Index Options: This helps determine how your money could grow. The index options with Synergy Choice Income give you a blend of choices that complement each other and can help you choose what works for you. To help choose what’s right for you, here are the pieces that make up each strategy.
Citi Aria Index 12 The index is a 100% equity index with dynamic monthly allocations to the best performing of two Citi indices, which use ESG (environmental, social and governance) scores to make their own allocations: one of these provides notional exposure to US large capitalization equities, and the other provides notional exposure to US technology equities. The index incorporates a 20% volatility target mechanism, and a performance control mechanism which limits both the gains and losses of the strategy’s monthly returns. The index also uses a dollar-cost averaging system in order to attempt to reduce market-timing risk. Goldman Sachs Grand Prix Index 13 The Index deploys signals from well-studied market anomalies to drive dynamic rebalancing between US technology equity futures and US Treasury futures. The Index then applies a patent pending volatility control mechanism, truVol ® , based on intraday returns. 14
S&P 500® Index Widely regarded as the best single gauge of large-cap U.S. equities, this index captures approximately 80% of available market capitalization.
12 The Citi Aria Index (CITIARIA) provides a notional exposure to the Citi ESG Momentum VT ER Index (CITIARIV), which in turn provides a notional exposure (with volatility targeting) to the Citi ESG Momentum Core ER Index (CITIARIC), which allocates monthly between either the Citi US Tech ESG Series 1 Gross Total Return Index (CESGUSSG) (the “Tech Index”) or a basket made up of the Citi US Large Cap ESG Series 1 Gross Total Return Index (CESGUSLG) (the “Large Cap Index”) and the iShares ESG Aware MSCI EAFE exchange-traded fund. Both the Tech Index and the Large Cap Index use ESG scores provided by an external data analyst, which is not responsible for any Citi index. Citi is not involved in the determination of the ESG scores. iShares ETFs are provided by BlackRock, which is not responsible for any Citi index. Notional costs are deducted from index performance. Full details and risks are set out in the relevant index conditions. 13 The Index is calculated on an excess return basis and net of servicing and rebalancing costs. A deduction rate of 0.50% per annum (accruing daily) is further applied to the Index. For more information about the Index, see www.goldmansachsindices.com/products/GSGRNDPX. The Index methodology is available upon request. 14 Salt Financial Indices LLC determined and designed the methodology for truVol ® Risk Control Engine. Goldman Sachs was not involved in designing or determining the methodology for truVol ®
Crediting Options: This refers to the way we calculate interest credits.

Your interest is credited and locked in for the term you choose. Point-To-Point Participation Rate Strategy This strategy provides growth by participating in a portion of the index’s growth, if any, every year. Your interest is credited and locked in for the term you choose.

Questions & Answers What is a market value adjustment (MVA) and when does it apply to me? When you take a withdrawal in excess of any free amount during the withdrawal charge period, the amount you receive may be increased or decreased by a market value adjustment (MVA). If the market index interest rates are higher than when you purchased the annuity, the MVA amount will be negative, decreasing your withdrawal amount and/or annuity balance. If market index interest rates are lower than when you purchased the annuity, the MVA is positive, increasing your withdrawal amount and/or annuity balance. The MVA does not impact Annuitizations or the Minimum Guaranteed Surrender Value. What options do I have to withdraw my money without fees? You have the option to take up to 10% of your Contract Value as a free withdrawal each year after the first contract anniversary. At the end of your surrender charge term, you also have the option to withdraw up to 100% of the Contract Value. Rest assured that all required minimum distributions (RMD) withdrawn at least thirty days after the contract has been issued will not be subject to any penalties. Worried about being locked in if rates fall? You have the option of withdrawing your Contract Value if the S&P 500® annual point-to-point cap renewal rate falls below the stated bailout cap rate at contract issue. What if I need to make a withdrawal above the 10% free withdrawal amount? In addition to possible MVA adjustments, withdrawing more than your free withdrawal amount may also result in early withdrawal charges. Each surrender charge period has its own early withdrawal charge schedule, which decreases over time, so you can know how much you are able to withdraw and how that will affect your contract. 15 Important to note: You always have access to 100% of your contract value, free of withdrawal charges and MVA, after the initial surrender charge period.

What options do I have if I am confined to a nursing home? You can withdraw up to 100% of your annuity’s contract value if you are confined to an eligible Nursing Home. This benefit is available if you are confined for at least 90 consecutive days any time after your first contract anniversary and meet eligibility requirements. No withdrawal charge or MVA will be applied if you qualify for this benefit. To receive the Nursing Home Waiver, you cannot be confined at the time your contract is issued and confinement must begin at least one year after the contract effective date. Please note, this is considered an excess income withdrawal and will reduce future income payments.
What options do I have if I am diagnosed with a terminal illness? You can withdraw up to 100% of your annuity’s contract value if you are diagnosed with a terminal illness that is expected to result in death within one year and meet eligibility requirements. No withdrawal charge or MVA will be applied if you qualify for this benefit. This waiver is available after your first contract anniversary and the initial diagnosis of terminal illness must be made after the contract effective date. Please note, this is considered an excess income withdrawal and will reduce future income payments.
