What MultiOption Momentum offers you
Variable investment options and indexed accounts
You can choose how to allocate your purchase payments and adjust as your needs change. Having variable investment options and indexed accounts together in one contract means you can conveniently adjust the dial – for growth potential, protection, or both.
Variable investment options offer you access to the growth potential of the markets, while crediting based on index performance offers protection from negative market performance, since interest credited can never be less than zero.1
Tax efficiencies
You can transfer your money between variable investments and indexed accounts tax-free and without incurring trade fees. Plus, tax-deferred earnings help you accumulate retirement assets since your investment gains aren’t reduced by taxes each year.2
When compared to placing this portion of your assets in separate investment vehicles, having them together in one MultiOption Momentum contract provides impactful tax benefits.
Fees matter, understand your options
Understanding fees is important because fewer charges mean more money working to accumulate in your annuity over time.
It’s important to understand the impact of fees on long-term growth potential. Consider your options and find the right balance between cost and features in your portfolio.
Optional benefits
Available at time of purchase for an additional cost, optional benefits are add-ons for your MultiOption Momentum annuity. They give you the opportunity to select the type of additional features and guarantees you want in your contract, if any.
MultiOption Momentum offers three optional benefits:
- Enhanced Liquidity Option
- Return of Purchase Payments Death Benefit
- Premier Protector Death Benefit3

Options for income
When the time comes to take money from your annuity, you can choose how you would like to receive income from your investment.
You can take withdrawals of the contract value or elect to annuitize your contract to generate a dependable stream of income for a set amount, a set time period or for a lifetime.
1. The investment performance of variable investment options is not guaranteed and can decrease in value. The indexes are not available for direct investment, and crediting is subject to the declared cap and/or participation rate. The indexed accounts are not available with the Premier Protector optional death benefit.
2. Earnings are taxable as ordinary income when distributed. If the annuity will fund an IRA or other tax-qualified plan, the tax deferral feature offers no additional value.
3. The Premier Protector Death Benefit Rider is not available in CA, MA, MO, and WA.
In addition to the information above, make sure you also review things to know before purchasing an annuity.
How it works
Variable annuities like MultiOption Momentum are long-term investment products designed to help you save and grow assets for retirement. Once you retire, it can provide a sustainable source of income.
Things to know before purchasing an annuity
Time horizon & risk tolerance
Annuities are investments for the long term. If you need your money in the near future, it may be in your best interest to explore other options. One of the reasons for this is that many annuities have a deferred sales charge (surrender charge), which may apply to certain withdrawals taken in the contract’s initial years. And if you choose to withdraw earnings before age 59½, they may be subject to a 10% federal tax penalty.
Risk tolerance
The investment performance of variable investment options is not guaranteed and can decrease in value. And although the indexed account credits can never be less than zero, crediting is subject to the declared cap and/or participation rate.
If you select one of the optional benefits (available for an additional cost), in years where your investment gains and or interest earned is less than the benefit charge, your account value may decrease.
Taxation
Annuity earnings are taxable as ordinary income when distributed. If you purchase a variable annuity as part of an IRA or other qualified-type retirement plan, you will receive no additional benefit from the tax deferral feature of the annuity since IRAs and qualified plans are already tax deferred.

Why an annuity?
Make the most of your retirement years
How do you anticipate spending your retirement? Exploring new passions, spending more time with family and friends, volunteering, traveling?
You’ve worked hard for your next chapter — and maybe you’re still working to make it a reality. But do you have a strategy for navigating common risks that could greatly affect your retirement?
Common retirement risks
The good news is that features offered through variable annuities can help you be better prepared to navigate through these risks and preserve the retirement you envision.
Part investment, part insurance: how variable annuities can help
A deferred variable annuity offers accumulation opportunities combined with protection opportunities from an issuing insurance company. They are designed to help you save and grow your retirement assets. Then once you retire, you have options to directly access your money1 or to generate an income stream to help make your money last.
You may consider using an annuity as a supplement to other investment accounts or an existing IRA, to bolster your retirement income from an employer retirement plan, or if you’ve maxed out your 401(k) — since unlike other retirement vehicles, annuities are not subject to IRS contribution limits.
A deferred variable annuity helps you address financial risks to your retirement with:
| Accumulation opportunities | Protection opportunities |
|---|---|

1. Withdrawals taken in the contract’s initial years will be subject to any deferred sales charges (surrender charge) that may apply. Withdrawals prior to age 59 ½ may be subject to a 10% federal tax penalty.
2. When the time is right and you begin taking income, your earnings will be taxable as ordinary income.
3. Optional benefit availability varies depending upon the variable annuity you select.
