Important disclosures to consider

ELM Index Annuity is a deferred, fixed interest and index annuity. It allows you to create a fixed stream of income through a process called annuitization.

You may also make a full, or partial, withdrawal from your account. If you decide to take your money out early, you may face fees called Early Withdrawal Fees (EWF's). Plus, if you're not yet age 59½, you may have to pay an additional 10% tax penalty on top of ordinary income taxes. Naturally, if you do take an early withdrawal, your death benefit and the cash value of the annuity contract will be reduced.

Federal income tax laws are complex and subject to change. The information in this document is based on current interpretations of the law and is not guaranteed. Neither the company, nor its representatives give legal, or financial advice.

You should consult your attorney or tax advisor for answers to your specific tax questions.
