Flavor Chocolate
Style Variable
Potential Return Higher
Additional Information
You direct how your annuity payments are invested by choosing among professionally managed annuity fund options. (Most annuities offer quite a few choices these days.) You decide how much goes into each option, and you can move your money between options. Your annuity's may go up or down based on how your choices perform.

Additional Information
Your rate of return may be tied to the performance of a general market index, such as the S&P 500. When the index increases, your account may go up. If the index decreases, you may be assured of the minimum rate of return.
