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 optional benefit riders or strategy fees or 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.

NOTE ON SIMULATED RETURNS: If an index was established during the last twenty years, performance before the index inception is back-tested. The results obtained from “back-testing” should not be considered indicative of the actual results that might be obtained from an investment in the index. The actual performance of the index may vary significantly from the results obtained from back-testing. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results are achieved by means of the retroactive application of a back-tested model itself designed with the benefit of hindsight and knowledge of factors that may have possibly affected its performance. North American provides no assurance or guarantee that any product linked to the index will operate or would have operated in the past in a manner consistent with these materials. Calculation based on simulated performance is purely hypothetical and may not be an accurate or meaningful comparison. Past performance (actual or simulated) is not necessarily indicative of future results. The performance of indexes managed to a volatility target will not match the performance of any other index or the markets in general since volatility control tends to reduce both the rate of negative performance and positive performance of the underlying index, thereby creating more stabilized performance.
