Life of the Southwest Income Driver 7

How your retirement savings can grow. To make sure you’re in the best position possible before drawing a lifetime income stream, Income Driver 7 gives you multiple options to grow the value of your annuity. You can choose a fixed rate or opt for getting interest credited based on the growth of a market index of your choice — without directly participating in the market. 3 Available indexes You have the choice between three market indexes: S&P 500 ® Index The S&P 500 ® is widely regarded as the best single gauge of the U.S. equities market. This world-renowned index includes a representative sample of 500 leading companies in leading industries of the U.S. economy. Although the S&P 500 ® focuses on the large-cap segment of the market, it is also an ideal proxy for the total market. US Fundamental Balanced Index This index aims to minimize volatility through a blend of U.S. equities, U.S. treasuries, and cash. The asset classes are rebalanced daily to seek to minimize risk and the mix of U.S. equities is revised quarterly. This index was created and is owned by PIMCO. Global Balanced Index This index aims to enhance risk-adjusted returns by tracking a blend of global asset classes: equities, bonds, and commodities. The index composition is rebalanced among asset classes monthly based on the SG Sentiment Indicator. This indicator is made up of six cross-asset market risk measures. The overall allocation is then reviewed daily to reduce market exposure in case of high volatility. This index was created and owned by Société Générale.
