At Nassau, we’re committed to comprehensive, customizable, and consistent retirement solutions. We’ve expanded index and crediting options for our fixed indexed annuities (FIA) to empower your clients with more choices from brands they’ve heard of like the Nasdaq-100®. We’ve also strengthened and simplified the Nassau story:

• More consistent index and crediting options across our FIA suite
• Added one- and two-year Sunrise Smart Passage SG indexed accounts across all FIA products
• Removed select S&P 500® crediting options

New Training Required

A new FIA index account training course is now available. Prior to soliciting an FIA product, all producers will be required to complete this course to learn about the new index options available across all our FIA products. Take the training →

Added: Nasdaq-100

Index brand strength and performance matters to you and your clients. That’s why we’ve added one- and two-year Nasdaq-100 crediting options to Nassau Growth Annuity® (NGA), Nassau Personal Income Annuity® (PIA), Nassau Personal Protection Choice® (PPC), and Nassau Personal Retirement Choice® (PRC).

Expanded: Smart Passage SG Index

Previously available just for NGA, the Smart Passage SG Index will now be available for PIA, PPC, and PRC. All of our FIAs now have one- and two-year versions with both standard and enhanced participation rates (including a strategy fee), providing even more flexibility to clients.

Selected Risk Considerations for the Smart Passage SG Index:

The Smart Passage SG Index (the “Index”) is the exclusive property of SG Americas Securities, LLC (SG Americas Securities, LLC, together with its affiliates, “SG”). SG has contracted with S&P Opco, LLC (a subsidiary of S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC) (“S&P”) to maintain and calculate the Index. “SG Americas Securities, LLC”, “SGAS”, “Société Générale”, “SG”, “Société Générale Indices”, “SGI”, and “Smart Passage SG Index” (collectively, the “SG Marks”) are trademarks or service marks of SG. SG has licensed use of the SG Marks to Nassau Life and Annuity Company (“NLA”) for use in a fixed indexed annuity offered by NLA (the “Fixed Indexed Annuity”). SG’s sole contractual relationship with NLA is to license the Index and the SG Marks to NLA. None of SG, S&P or other third party licensor (collectively, the “Index Parties”) to SG is acting, or has been authorized to act, as an agent of NLA or has in any way sponsored, promoted, solicited, negotiated, endorsed, offered, sold, issued, supported, structured or priced any Fixed Indexed Annuity or provided investment advice to NLA.

No Index Party has passed on the legality or suitability of, or the accuracy or adequacy of the descriptions and disclosures relating to, the Fixed Indexed Annuity, including those disclosures with respect to the Index. The Index Parties make no representation whatsoever, whether express or implied, as to the advisability of purchasing, selling or holding any product linked to the Index, including the Fixed Indexed Annuity, or the ability of the Index to meet its stated objectives, including meeting its target volatility. The Index Parties have no obligation to, and will not, take the needs of NLA or any annuitant into consideration in determining, composing or calculating the Index. The selection of the Index as a crediting option under a Fixed Indexed Annuity does not obligate NLA or SG to invest annuity payments in the components of the Index.

THE INDEX PARTIES MAKE NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WHATSOEVER, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE), WITH RESPECT TO THE INDEX OR ANY DATA INCLUDED THEREIN OR RELATING THERETO, AND IN PARTICULAR DISCLAIM ANY GUARANTEE OR WARRANTY EITHER AS TO THE QUALITY, ACCURACY, TIMELINESS AND/OR COMPLETENESS OF THE INDEX OR ANY DATA INCLUDED THEREIN, THE RESULTS OBTAINED FROM THE USE OF THE INDEX AND/OR THE CALCULATION OR COMPOSITION OF THE INDEX, OR CALCULATIONS MADE WITH RESPECT TO ANY FIXED INDEXED ANNUITY AT ANY PARTICULAR TIME ON ANY PARTICULAR DATE OR OTHERWISE. THE INDEX PARTIES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE (WHETHER IN NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) TO ANY PERSON FOR ANY ERROR OR OMISSION IN THE INDEX OR IN THE CALCULATION OF THE INDEX, AND THE INDEX PARTIES ARE UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO ADVISE ANY PERSON OF ANY ERROR THEREIN, OR FOR ANY INTERRUPTION IN THE CALCULATION OF THE INDEX. NO INDEX PARTY SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY PARTY FOR ANY ACT OR FAILURE TO ACT BY THE INDEX PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE DETERMINATION, ADJUSTMENT OR MAINTENANCE OF THE INDEX. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, IN NO EVENT SHALL AN INDEX PARTY HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY DIRECT DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS OR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF NOTIFIED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

No Index Party is a fiduciary or agent of any purchaser, seller or holder of a Fixed Indexed Annuity. None of SG, S&P or any third party licensor shall have any liability with respect to the Fixed Indexed Annuity in which an interest crediting option is based is on the Index, nor for any loss relating to the Fixed Indexed Annuity, whether arising directly or indirectly from the use of the Index, its methodology, any SG Mark or otherwise. Obligations to make payments under the Fixed Indexed Annuities are solely the obligation of NLA. In calculating the performance of the Index, SG deducts a maintenance fee of 0.50% per annum on the level of the Index, and fixed transaction and replication costs, each calculated and deducted on a daily basis. Because the Index can experience potential leverage up to 350%, the maintenance fee may be as high as 1.75% per year. The transaction and replication costs cover, among other things, rebalancing and replication costs. The total amount of transaction and replication costs is not predictable and will depend on a number of factors, including the performance of the index underlying the Index, and market conditions, among other factors. These fees and costs will reduce the potential positive change in the Index and increase the potential negative change in the Index. While the volatility control applied by the Index may result in less fluctuation in rates of return as compared to indices without volatility controls, it may also reduce the overall rate of return as compared to products not subject to volatility controls.

The rules governing the operation and calculation of the Index (the “Rules”) may be amended by the Index Sponsor. An amendment to the Rules may result from, without limitation, a change to the construction or calculation of the Index or from the Index Sponsor determining that a change to the Rules is required or desirable in order to update them or to address an error, omission or ambiguity.

Nassau fixed indexed annuity contracts do not directly participate in any stock, bond or equity investment. All indexed account credit calculations exclude dividends. Indexed account credits are based on a cap, participation, spread or enhanced participation rate set at the beginning of each indexed account segment and subject to change for future segments. For indexed accounts with enhanced participation rates, currently a 1.00% annual strategy fee applies in each year of the index term (subject to change). We may change, add or eliminate indexed accounts. Certain accounts may not be available in all states.

We’re excited to launch two new rider options on Nassau Growth Annuity: Amplified Income with Rising Income Opportunity (RIO) and Amplified Income Plus with RIO. Your client can now select one of four guaranteed lifetime income riders with NGA’s 10 Year/10% Free Withdrawal annuity contract to build on the growth of their contract for their future income needs.

The Amplified Income with RIO or the Amplified Income Plus with RIO riders offer the opportunity for income payments to increase after rider exercise. These riders provide a lower initial income benefit compared to the Amplified Income and Amplified Income Plus riders, but have the opportunity to receive potentially higher income payments in the future based on the contract’s performance.

Which Rider May Be Best for Your Client’s Goals?
Answer Two Questions.

Steady or rising income?²

Guaranteed income payments begin when your client exercises their rider.⁵ Would your client prefer consistent payment amounts, or the opportunity for their income payment to grow over time?

Steady Income: Income payments will remain the same each year for life, and will be higher than rising income opportunity initial income payments.⁶

Rising Income Opportunity: Your client’s income benefit base has the potential to grow based on contract performance until year 15, regardless of when the rider is exercised.

Performance-Based Growth or Performance-Based Growth PLUS Guaranteed Growth?³

All of NGA’s rider options have the potential to grow your client’s income based on the performance of their contract. Would you prefer that their future income grows based on the annuity’s performance or would you like to ensure their future income grows each year they wait to take guaranteed income payments, regardless of the annuity’s performance?

Performance-Based Growth – Your client’s income payments may grow based on the contract’s performance (interest and index credits).

Performance-Based Growth Plus Guaranteed Growth – Your client’s income payments may grow through a combination of the contract’s performance and a 3% guaranteed simple interest roll-up.
