Important Details

1) Increase based on Nassau product analysis using current rates, subject to change. Actual ABA percentages vary by state availability, age, wait, coverage option, and rider combo. For PPC, riders are optional and must be elected at the time of application. Riders involve an additional fee that is deducted annually from the contract value. See Rider Disclosures for details.

Please note: rates and product availability may vary by state. For more details, visit the rates page of each product on Salesnet.

Important Details & Disclosures

1. Rates effective January 1, 2023. Rates shown for 10-year surrender charge schedule contracts in Group A States. 2-year Sunrise Smart Passage SG indexed account shown is for an enhanced participation rate account which currently includes a 1.00% annual strategy fee that applies in each year of the index term (subject to change). In Group A States, if the oldest contract owner is age 81 or older at issue, the contract will be issued with the Group B States surrender charge schedule and crediting rates. Indexed account credits are based on a cap, participation or enhanced participation rate set at the beginning of each indexed account segment and subject to change for future segments. Dividend payments and distributions are not received from any index. While the value of each indexed account is affected by the value of an outside index, the contract does not directly participate in any stock, bond or equity investment. We may change, add or eliminate indexed accounts. Multi-year accounts are not available in New Hampshire. Other state variations may apply.

2. Although Smart Passage SG Indexed Accounts may offer higher participation rates compared to other accounts, these accounts apply the Sunrise Adjustment which sets the highest monthly return in each year of the account segment to zero prior to calculating index credits. As a result, this account may under perform other indexed accounts when yearly index growth is concentrated in one or two months. See the Product Disclosure and Smart Passage SG Index brochure for details.


3. Rates effective January 1, 2023. Rates shown for 7-year surrender charge schedule contracts. 1-year S&P 500 indexed accounts and 2-year Sunrise Smart Passage SG indexed accounts are for enhanced participation rate accounts which currently include a 1.00% annual strategy fee that applies in each year of the index term (subject to change). Indexed account credits are based on a cap, participation or enhanced participation rate set at the beginning of each indexed account segment and subject to change for future segments. Dividend payments and distributions are not received from any index. While the value of each indexed account is affected by the value of an outside index, the contract does not directly participate in any stock, bond or equity investment. We may change, add or eliminate indexed accounts. Multi-year accounts are not available in New Hampshire. Other state variations may apply.

4. Clients have a choice of 10% Free Withdrawal Amount or No Free Withdrawal Amount. Election must be made at issue. Rates shown are for contracts with no free withdrawals and are different for contracts with 10% free withdrawals. New rates are posted here, effective January 1, 2023 and subject to change. Nonqualified funds and Traditional IRAs only in New York (Roth, SEP, or SIMPLE IRAs are not approved in New York).

5. Rates shown include 5% Free Withdrawal Amount. New rates are posted here, effective January 1, 2023 and subject to change.

The “S&P 500 Index” is a product of S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC or its affiliates (“SPDJI”) and has been licensed for use by Nassau Life and Annuity Company and its affiliates (collectively, “Nassau”). Standard & Poor’s®, S&P 500® and S&P® are registered trademarks of Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC (“S&P”); Dow Jones® is a registered trademark of Dow Jones Trademark Holdings LLC (“Dow Jones”); and these trademarks have been licensed and sublicensed for use by SPDJI and Nassau, respectively.

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 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.
