How ��Pivot Series works

��Pivot Series is a long-term investment that allows you to grow money tax-deferred, create a generational financial legacy, and even create a source of guaranteed income when you retire. Most importantly, it’s designed for flexibility and can help you adapt to changing financial goals.

A tax-smart way to invest

��Pivot Series offers a variety of ways to create a tax-efficient financial strategy—now and in the future.

Your investment is tax-deferred, and you only pay taxes when you withdraw money.
By reinvesting potential tax-deferred earnings you experience compounding growth.
Withdraw money over time to spread out your tax obligation.
No contribution limits on investing with money you’ve already paid taxes on (nonqualified).

Planning for your family's future

��Pivot Series provides opportunities for you to leave a financial legacy for your loved ones, or for a favorite charity.

A standard death benefit is automatically issued with the contract. There are no monthly premiums and no underwriting is required.

You can also choose from two different enhanced death benefits at an extra cost.⁴

Proceeds will pass outside of probate, so your beneficiaries will get their inheritance quickly.⁵

Retire with guaranteed money

You have the option to use money in your variable annuity to create a source of guaranteed income at no extra cost. This feature, Flexible Pension Builder Rider, can be used for retirement income or to create an income bridge to Medicare, Social Security, or other short-term needs.⁶

This income stream is protected and not affected by market volatility.
Money not converted to guaranteed income remains invested for further potential growth.

² Five investment options not rated.

³ Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Morningstar proprietary ratings reflect historical risk-adjusted performance for investment accounts with at least a 3-year performance history and are subject to change each month. Morningstar Ratings™ are calculated from an investment’s three-, five-, and ten-year average annual returns in excess of the 90-day U.S. Treasury bill returns, with appropriate fee adjustments, and a risk factor that reflects performance below the 90-day Treasury bill return. Within each asset class the top 10% of investment accounts receive 5 stars (Highest); the next 22.5% receive 4 stars (Above Average); the middle 35% earn 3 stars (Average); the next 22.5% receive 2 stars (Below Average); and the bottom 10% receive 1 star (Lowest). The Overall Morningstar Rating for an investment is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five- and ten-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics.

⁴ If investing with qualified money, the election of one of the enhanced death benefits may be required by certain broker dealers.

⁵ Unless your estate is the beneficiary.

⁶ The rider is automatically issued if you meet the age requirements and you’re the sole owner/annuitant. The issue age is less than 67 for qualified contracts and less than 85 for nonqualified contracts.
