American Equity Estate Shield

EstateShield 9 Lifetime Income with Increasing Payout Demonstration

Hypothetical Example After 10 years, the contract owner opts to turn on lifetime income benefit payments at age 65, with a 5% payout factor, resulting in an initial annual payout of $10,404. Because of the increasing income potential of the LIBR, income payments have the potential to increase with positive index changes and the BAV Multiplier is applied to any credited interest. In this example with a 4.25%

annual point to point cap on the S&P 500 ® during the income phase, income payments continue to increase in positive years and maintain during negative years. For example, the graphs below show how income payments may increase in the year following positive index changes, but remain protected in the year after a negative index change.
