Methodology and important information
Introduction
The values shown are hypothetical, for illustrative purposes only, and are intended to show the mechanics of the indexed account options available with Lincoln Level Advantage 2® index-linked annuity.
An 'uncapped' rate is reflected on confirmations and quarterly statements as a cap of 999%.
Methodology
Scenario returns are based on the historical returns of the chosen index. It's important to note that other domestic, foreign or world-comprised indices may have different or opposite return characteristics during these same scenario time periods.
Historical performance is not indicative of future results. The tool presents a limited range of historical outcomes and the graphs shown are for illustrative purposes only. The examples are intended to show the mechanics of the indexed account options available with Lincoln Level Advantage 2® index-linked annuity.
Crediting strategies
Five crediting strategies are offered across the 1-year, 3-year, 6-year and 6-year annual lock terms. They are performance cap, performance trigger, participation rate, dual performance trigger, Dual15 Plus, and dual 10 plus strategies.
For performance cap strategies, the account value will grow subject to any positive percentage change to the cap at a rate based on the market index chosen.
For performance trigger strategies, the account value will grow by the performance trigger rate for any positive or flat change in the market index chosen.
For participation rate strategies, the account value will grow by multiplying the participation rate to any positive percentage change based on the market index chosen.
For dual performance trigger strategies, the dual performance trigger rate is credited to your account if the index change is up, flat, or down within the protection level at the end of a term.
For dual plus strategies, if the index change is up or flat you earn the greater of the dual rate or the index return up to the cap.
Protection options
Protection level is the percentage loss that Lincoln will absorb from a market downturn. If a market index drop is in excess of the protection level, there is the risk of loss of principal. Not all protection levels are available with all term options.
For dual performance trigger strategies, if the index change is down more than the protection level the dual performance trigger rate is used to offset loss, which may provide a positive return. For dual plus strategies, if the index return is down, the dual rate is added to the index loss which may provide a positive return.
Indexed accounts are tied to market performance, but they are not an actual investment in the stock market. Additionally, there is risk of loss of principal if negative returns exceed the selected protection level. Gains or losses are assessed at the end of each indexed account term. There is also a risk of loss upon an early withdrawal.
Indexed-linked annuity products are complex insurance and the investment vehicles and are subject to surrender charges for early withdrawals. Please reference the prospectus for information about the levels of protection available and other importance product information.
