SECTION 1: DEFINITION
Guaranteed Minimum Trigger Rate: The minimum Trigger Rate applicable to Indexed Accounts available under this endorsement.
Buffer: The maximum negative Index Return that will not result in a negative Adjusted Index Return being credited to the Indexed Account Value at the end of an Interest Term.
Trigger Rate: The rate of Indexed Interest that is credited under an Indexed Account at the end of an Interest Term if the Index Return is greater than or equal to zero.
SECTION 2: OVERVIEW
We will declare a Trigger Rate for each Interest Term. Initial Trigger Rates shown above are applicable for the initial Interest Term only. Subsequent Trigger Rates are subject to change for each subsequent Interest Term and may differ from the Trigger Rates used for new Contracts but will never be less than the Guaranteed Minimum Trigger Rate shown above.
The Indexed Account Charge and Buffer stated above for each respective Indexed Account will not change for the life of the Contract.
SECTION 3: CREDITING METHOD
The Crediting Method applicable to the Indexed Account(s) shown above is the Point to Point with Buffer and Trigger method.
To calculate Indexed Interest, we first calculate the Index Return. The Index Return is equal to:
1.the Index Value on the date the current Interest Term ends; minus
2.the Index Value on the date the current Interest Term begins; divided by
3.the Index Value on the date the current Interest Term begins;
Next, we determine the Adjusted Index Return by applying the Buffer and Trigger Rate:
If the Index Return is positive or zero:
The Adjusted Index Return is equal to the Trigger Rate.
If the Index Return is negative:
The Adjusted Index Return is equal to the Index Return plus the Buffer, with the result not to exceed zero.
The Adjusted Index Return is then multiplied by the Indexed Account’s Base Value on the last day of the Interest Term.
If an Indexed Account Charge applies, it is deducted from the Indexed Account Value after any interest is credited.
