Overview This describes the Indexed Account Factors and method used in calculating Segment Indexed Interest for each Segment of this Indexed Account.  The Indexed Account Factors used in determining the credited rate from the index are not guaranteed and can be changed by us for future segments, subject to the guarantees in the policy, and any such changes can affect the return.  Also, see Indexed Fixed Options.

 

Index The Index is the S&P 500® Index, excluding dividends. If the S&P 500® Index is discontinued, or if we are unable to use it for reasons beyond our control, we will substitute a successor index of our choosing subject to approval by the Interstate Insurance Product Regulation Commission (IIPRC). In such case, we will notify you and any assignee of record of the change at each last known address.

 

Segment Indexed Interest — At Segment Maturity, Segment Indexed Interest will be credited to the Segment and is equal to the Segment Indexed Interest Rate multiplied by the average of all Segment Monthly Balances over the entire Segment Term.  [That amount will then be multiplied by the Segment Adjustment Factor to determine the final Segment Indexed Interest credited at Segment Maturity.]

 

Segment Monthly Balance The Segment Monthly Balance is, as of the end of any Segment Month, the amount initially transferred to the Segment on the Segment Date minus all Segment Deductions, excluding any interest that may have been credited to the Segment.

 

Segment Indexed Interest Rate The Segment Indexed Interest Rate reflects any growth in the Index above the Indexed Threshold Rate.  The Segment Indexed Interest Rate is equal to [(a - b) × c] - d, such result being not less than zero, where:

 

a = Index Growth Rate;

b = Indexed Threshold Rate;

c = Participation Rate; and

d = Cumulative Segment Guaranteed Interest Rate.

 

Index Growth Rate In calculating the Segment Indexed Interest, the Index Growth Rate for that Segment Term is first calculated, as (f ÷ e) – 1, where:

 

e = the Closing Value of the Index as of the day before the beginning of the Segment Term; and

f = the Closing Value of the Index as of the day before the end of the Segment Term.

 

Indexed Threshold Rate — The Indexed Threshold Rate is used to determine the amount credited to each Segment of the Indexed Account.  The Segment Indexed Interest Rate is based, in part, on the Index Growth Rate less the Indexed Threshold Rate.  The Guaranteed Maximum Indexed Threshold Rate is shown above.  We may declare a lower Indexed Threshold Rate.  Your Indexed Threshold Rate for each Segment will be shown in your Annual Report or other written notice.

Participation Rate This is the percentage of the Index Growth Rate that is used in calculating the Segment Indexed Interest Rate.  The Guaranteed Minimum Participation Rate is shown above.  We may declare a higher Participation Rate. Your Participation Rate for each Segment will be shown in your Annual Report or other written notice.

 

Segment Guaranteed Interest Rate — The Segment Guaranteed Interest Rate is the Cumulative Segment Guaranteed Interest Rate converted to an annual rate.  The Segment Guaranteed Interest Rate is then used to calculate the amount of Segment Guaranteed Interest that is credited to each Segment.  The Minimum Segment Guaranteed Interest Rate is shown above.  We may declare a higher Segment Guaranteed Interest Rate.

 

Cumulative Segment Guaranteed Interest Rate — The Cumulative Segment Guaranteed Interest Rate is the Segment Guaranteed Interest Rate compounded annually for the number of years of the Segment Term.  The Cumulative Minimum Segment Guaranteed Interest Rate is shown above.

 

[Segment Adjustment Factor — This is one factor used in determining the final Segment Indexed Interest that will be credited at Segment Maturity. The Guaranteed Minimum Segment Adjustment Factor is shown above.  We may use a higher Segment Adjustment Factor to determine the final Segment Indexed Interest credited at Segment Maturity.  The Segment Adjustment Factor that is in effect when the Segment is created is guaranteed for the duration of that Segment.]
