How index-linked interest crediting works A gold staircase shows an illustrative crediting pattern that steps up at the end of years when the index rises and stays flat through years the index declines, never stepping down. A red jagged line shows illustrative index movement falling below the starting level in the middle years before recovering. Axes show ten contract years, with a dashed reference line at the starting level. Illustrative only, with no dollar figures, no dates and no named index. HOW INDEX-LINKED INTEREST CREDITING WORKS Illustrative crediting pattern Illustrative index movement Starting level When the S&P 500 declines, your accumulation value remains the same. When the S&P 500 increases, your Accumulation Value may increase. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 CONTRACT YEARS Gold markers show each annual reset. Illustrative only: a simplified example of annual index-linked interest crediting. Not a projection of performance or a representation of any specific annuity contract, index, or crediting rate. Actual results vary by contract terms.
A fixed index annuity does not directly invest in a market index. Instead, the index is used to determine interest credits according to the terms of the contract.

Our approach

Principal Protection & Growth

The opportunity to grow your retirement savings while protecting your principal from market downturns.

  1. Participate in market-linked growth opportunities.
  2. Protect your principal from market losses.
  3. Lock in credited interest without losing it to future declines.
  4. Your interest can build upon itself year after year.
It’s not just how much money you make – it’s how much you get to keep!

Robby, thank you for making some very complicated choices easy to understand. I am very pleased with my new plan … you are a great teacher and deserve an A+ for knowledge and service!

Victoria VelasquezPrincipal of Hodge Elementary · Azusa, CA

My wife and I have had several financial advisors throughout the years, all of whom promised the world and never delivered. Not only did Robby come through for us, he explained finances better than anyone out there and he always keeps in touch. I highly recommend Robby to everyone!

Sam PerdomoAssistant Principal of Gladstone High School · Covina, CA

Robby is amazing at providing an overall understanding of how retirement works. I was able to make an informed decision about where to put my money and really benefited from his expertise. My staff has welcomed him with open arms and they really enjoy working with him as well.
