THE ACCUMULATION PROTECTOR PLUSSMANNUITY

It Is Time to Protect What You Have Worked So Hard to Build

Whether it is for retirement, legacy, or lifestyle, you have worked hard to earn a living and build your wealth. You have pushed through the daily grind for decades and have finally arrived at a new chapter in life. And while it may be time to start thinking about retirement income and protecting your wealth from unnecessary risk, it does not mean that your wealth needs to stop working for you.
The Accumulation Protector PlusSM Annuity (APP) is a fixed indexed annuity designed to both accumulate wealth, and protect it against future market downturns. With access to its exclusive and flexible crediting strategies, the APP offers protection and growth potential in any market.*
With the Accumulation Protector PlusSM Annuity, it is finally time to let your money do the hard work for you, while having the peace-of-mind that your wealth is protected for what you have in store.

What is a Fixed Indexed Annuity?

A Fixed Indexed Annuity is a tax-deferred, stable, financial option designed to grow your premium and protect it if the market drops. This product is typically accompanied with multiple crediting strategies that you can choose to participate in. These crediting strategies include at least one indexed account and may also include a Fixed Rate account, as seen with the Accumulation Protector PlusSM Annuity. When you select an indexing strategy, you are credited interest at the end of the crediting period in the event the index value grows.
A Fixed Indexed Annuity offers access to more interest growth potential as the market performs positively. In addition to growth potential, a Fixed Indexed Annuity offers protection of principal in several different ways. You do not lose money, including interest earned during previous crediting periods, if the index value drops because your money is allocated to the annuity itself rather than directly to the index (or indices). Additionally, the indexed accounts typically offer a minimum guaranteed interest rate of at least 0%.

Attributions and Disclaimers with Respect to Credit Suisse

The Credit Suisse Momentum index and “Credit Suisse”, and any trademarks, service marks and logos related thereto are service marks of Credit Suisse Group AG, Credit Suisse International, or one of their affiliates (collectively, “Credit Suisse”). Credit Suisse has no relationship to Atlantic Coast Life Insurance Company, other than certain hedging arrangements and the licensing of the Credit Suisse Momentum index and its service marks for use in connection with the Accumulation Protector PlusSM Annuity, and is not a party to any transaction contemplated hereby.
The rules of the Credit Suisse Momentum Index may be amended by Credit Suisse International (the “Index Creator”). An amendment to the rules may result from, without limitation, a change to the construction or calculation rules for the Index or from the Index Creator determining that a change to the rules is required or desirable in order to update them or to address an error, omission or ambiguity. No assurance can be given that any such amendment would not affect parties to this document.
The Index is an excess return index, which means that it reflects the return of components net of the cost of funding a hypothetical investment in them. The Index returns are likely to be negatively affected by such costs of funding. The Index has a 0.5% per annum embedded fee deducted on a daily basis. The index fee will place a drag on the performance of the Index, offsetting any appreciation of its portfolio, exacerbating any depreciation of its portfolio and causing the level of the Index to decline steadily if the value of its portfolio remains relatively constant. The Index also contains embedded transaction costs and holding costs.
While volatility controls may result in less fluctuation in rates of return as compared to indices without volatility controls, they may also reduce the overall rate of return as compared to products not subject to volatility controls.
The end-of-day value of the Credit Suisse Momentum Index is published subject to the provisions in the rules of the Index. Neither the Index Creator nor any of its affiliates is obliged to publish any information regarding the index other than as stipulated in the rules of these indices.
