Introducing North American Secure Horizon SM Choice
The North American Secure Horizon Choice (Secure Horizon Choice), a fixed index annuity, can help you confidently take control of your financial future. Secure Horizon Choice offers protection, an enhanced opportunity for growth, and tax deferral.
Reach your financial goals
Growth Premium can increase in value based on the positive performance of one or more indices.
Protection Premium and any interest earnings are 100% protected from market downturns. 1
Tax-deferral 2 You’ll pay no current income tax on interest earnings, which can help you accumulate more assets.
What is a fixed index annuity?
A fixed index annuity (FIA) is a contract between you and an insurance company. An FIA offers several benefits including tax deferral and the opportunity to earn interest based in part on the changes of an underlying index. And because an FIA does not directly participate in any stock or equity investment, the money in your FIA (the initial premium plus any credited interest earnings) is protected from market downturns. 1
1 Although fixed index annuities guarantee no loss of premium due to market downturns, deductions from your accumulation value for Strategy Charges or optional rider charges could exceed interest credited to the accumulation value, which would result in an overall reduction of premium. 2 Under current law, annuities grow tax deferred. An annuity is not required for tax deferral in qualified plans. Annuities may be subject to taxation during the income or withdrawal phase. Neither North American Company for Life and Health Insurance, nor any financial professionals acting on its behalf, should be viewed as providing legal, tax or investment advice. You should rely on your own qualified tax professional.

Powerful growth strategies With Secure Horizon Choice, you can customize your growth strategy according to your retirement needs. You have the opportunity to earn interest based on the positive performance of one or more broadly diversified U.S. and global indices. 3 Interest credits, if any, are calculated based on the strategy option you select. Any interest credited at the end of the strategy term is based on positive index performance and crediting strategy components. In addition, premium allocated to the Fixed Account will earn the current interest rate, which is credited daily.
Your growth strategy, your way
Secure Horizon Choice offers a growth opportunity with index account options that track the performance of one or more domestic and global index options you select. In addition, Secure Horizon Choice offers the following crediting strategies:
Annual point-to-point with Participation Rate: The annual point-to-point with Participation Rate option tracks the performance of an index over a one year term and can credit interest annually at the end of the strategy term. The Participation Rate is a percentage of index growth used to calculate your interest earnings. Annual point-to-point with cap rate: The annual point-to-point with cap rate option tracks the performance of an index over a one year term and can credit interest at the end of the strategy term. The index growth, if any, is subject to an index cap rate which is the maximum amount of interest credits you can receive. At the end of each year, a new cap rate will be declared and is guaranteed to be the same or higher than the guarantees listed in your contract.
%
Performance Strategy Ladder with Participation Rate: The Performance Strategy Ladder takes advantage of higher Participation Rates associated with longer terms and offers powerful growth opportunities. The Performance Strategy Ladder provides a series of scheduled transfers over a 5- or 7-year ladder period. Initially, 20% of your premium is divided into five buckets. The first bucket allocates to a 1-year term, the second to a 2-year term, all the way through the 5th bucket allocating to a 5-year term. At the end of the initial strategy term, each bucket transfers into a 5-year term or into a term length equal to the years remaining in the 5- or 7-year strategy ladder period. At the end of the ladder period, the funds will transfer to a 1-year term. 4 You may only transfer out of the Performance Strategy ladder to another available annual point-to-point option at the end of a term. You have the opportunity to further enhance your growth potential by adding a Strategy Charge to several of these strategies. 5 In exchange for the Strategy Charge, you receive a higher Participation Rate. The Strategy Charge is known as a Strategy Charge Annual Percentage in the contract. The Strategy Charge amount is determined by the Strategy Charge for the applicable index account value multiplied by the index account value and is deducted on each contract anniversary from the index account value. This may result in an overall reduction of the accumulation value if the interest credit is less than the Strategy Charge.
3 Not all strategies may be available for every index. 4 Funds will transfer to a 1-year term with the index and Strategy Charge option that was chosen at issue. 5 Not available with the Annual Point-To-Point with Cap or the Fixed Rate Strategy.

Key terms and definitions
Credited Interest Rate (Interest Credit) The rate of interest credited from the Index Account(s) to the Accumulation Value. If the underlying index performance is zero or negative, the interest credited to your contract will be zero. In years where the interest credit is less than the Strategy Charge, the Accumulation Value allocated to this option will decrease. Market Value Adjustment (MVA) An adjustment applied only during the surrender charge period to full surrenders and any partial surrenders in excess of the Penalty-free Partial Surrender Allowance. The MVA will not be applied upon death. Nursing Home Confinement Waiver (may not be available in all states) After your first contract year, if you become confined to a qualified nursing care facility (skilled nursing facility or residential care facility for the elderly in California) as defined in the rider, you can withdraw up to 100% of your accumulation value without a surrender charge and without application of a market value adjustment as long as you meet the eligibility requirements for this rider. If you withdraw 100% of your accumulation value, your contract will terminate. You cannot be confined at the time your contract is issued. This rider is automatically included with your annuity at no additional charge. Penalty-Free Withdrawals Beginning in the 2nd Contract Year, you may take a penalty-free withdrawal (also known as a penalty-free partial surrender) without surrender charges or market value adjustment, of up to 10% of your beginning of year Accumulation Value. On Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) exceeding the available penalty-free allowance, surrender charges and market value adjustments will be waived by current company practice. 8 Performance Strategy Ladder Only available at contract issue, this crediting method allocates your premium equally across five index account Strategies with unique term lengths. At the end of each term, the Accumulation Value allocated to that Strategy may receive interest credits and will automatically transfer to a new Strategy with a new term length and Participation Rates that will be declared at that time, unless elected out of the ladder. Each index account option within the Performance Strategy Ladder measures index growth using two points in time; the beginning index value and the ending index value at the end of the applicable term. Index-linked gains are calculated based on growth between these two values multiplied by a Participation Rate. The interest credit is credited at the end of the term and will never be less than zero. Premium The amount paid into the annuity contract. Strategy Charge If a crediting method includes a Strategy Charge, the Strategy Charge will be subtracted from the Accumulation Value allocated to the crediting method on the Contract Anniversary. In exchange for the Strategy Charge, you can receive a higher Participation Rate, resulting in an increase in the credited interest rate when the underlying index performance is positive. If the underlying index performance is zero or negative, the interest credited to your contract will be zero. In years where the interest credit is less than the Strategy Charge, the Accumulation Value allocated to this option will decrease. If interest credited over the surrender charge period is less than the total Strategy Charges, there will be a one-time credit of the difference to the accumulation value at the end of the surrender charge period. This credit will not be available if excess penalty-free withdrawals are taken. Term Point-To-Point with Cap Rate This crediting method is offered using an annual point-to-point. This crediting method measures index growth using two points in time: the beginning index value and the ending index value. Index-linked gains are calculated based on the difference between these two values. The index growth, if any, is then subject to an Index Cap Rate. The annual interest credit will never be less than zero. At the end of each year we will declare new cap rates at least as high as the guarantees listed in your contract. Term Point-To-Point With Participation Rate This crediting method is offered using an annual point-to-point. This crediting method measures index growth using two points in time: the beginning index value and the index value at the end of the term. Interest credits are calculated based on the growth between these two values multiplied by a Participation Rate. The interest credit will never be less than zero. At the end of each term we will declare new Participation Rates that are guaranteed to never be less than the minimum guarantees listed in your contract.
8 A feature offered “by current company practice” is not a contractual guarantee of this annuity contract and can be removed or changed at any time.

With every contract that North American Company for Life and Health Insurance® issues there is a free-look period. This gives you the right to review your entire contract and if you are not satisfied, return it and have your premium returned. Fixed index annuities are not a direct investment in the stock market. They are long term insurance products with guarantees backed by the issuing company. They provide the potential for interest to be credited based in part on the performance of specific indices, without the risk of loss of premium due to market downturns or fluctuation. Although fixed index annuities guarantee no loss of premium due to market downturns, deductions from your accumulation value for additional optional benefit riders or Strategy Charges associated with allocations to enhanced crediting methods could exceed interest credited to the accumulation value, which would result in loss of premium. They may not be appropriate for all clients. Interest credits to a fixed index annuity will not mirror the actual performance of the relevant index.
