Fidelity Multifactor Yield Index 5% ER — 8.2% Trigger (Annual Performance Credit — years 0-6 · Annual)
✦
How crediting works: the trigger credits 8.2% when the index year is flat or positive; a down year credits 0%, never a loss. A trigger strategy uses the index as a yes/no test for that declared credit. What is a cap vs participation? →
Assumptions: illustrative — applies Summit Navigate's published trigger rate (8.2% on Fidelity Multifactor Yield Index 5% ER) to a calibrated proprietary/volatility-controlled hypothetical index path (~1.9%/yr average, including down years) with a 0% floor over 20 years. Not a projection, quote, or guarantee. Live CANNEX rates as of July 14, 2026.

Two surrender-term variants are filed under one product (a shorter and a longer chassis), letting buyers match the commitment to their need-the-money-back timeline rather than being locked into a single chassis length.
A-plus rated carrier (A.M. Best) — Midland National is one of the larger U.S. fixed-annuity writers.
No premium minimum on the published feed — unusual for an FIA in Midland's Summit family; most Summit filings carry a mid-tier or six-figure premium floor.
Annual penalty-free withdrawal allowance plus nursing-home and RMD surrender-charge waivers — meaningful liquidity for an FIA chassis.
What to confirm
The live AdvisorWorld feed for this product currently shows current rates only on the fixed-rate strategy rows — annual point-to-point cap rates on recognizable indexes are not published right now. Confirm current declared caps with the carrier before signing; this page cannot show a like-for-like cap comparison until the feed reloads.
There is no income rider on this contract — Summit Navigate is an accumulation / safety-leaning product, not an income product.
Market value adjustment applies on early surrender on top of the surrender-charge schedule.
Filed in 50 jurisdictions (every state and DC except New York) — New York residents are not on this contract.
Death benefit is the cash surrender value — no enhanced or step-up death benefit on this contract.
Not ideal for
Anyone planning around lifetime income (no rider on this product), anyone who needs a published cap rate to make the buying decision today (the live feed currently shows only the fixed-rate floor), anyone who may need full liquidity inside the surrender window (MVA layers on top), and New York residents (not filed there).

Common questions about Summit Navigate
● Can I lose money in Summit Navigate?
A negative index return by itself does not reduce the contract's account value: Summit Navigate credits 0% — the floor — for that indexed period. The account value can still decrease from applicable rider fees, Performance Rate Rider or other strategy charges, administrative charges, withdrawals, surrender charges, or other contract-specific deductions. In years with no credited interest, those deductions can reduce the account value. Up to 10% of your value can be withdrawn each year without a charge; withdrawals above the penalty-free amount during the surrender period can incur a surrender charge.
● When can I access my money without a surrender charge?
Up to 10% of your account value each year is penalty-free. The surrender period runs 7 years; after that you reach full liquidity. The Liquidity tab of the analyzer shows the year-by-year surrender charge.
● How do Summit Navigate's crediting strategies compare?
Use "Compare against" in the analyzer to overlay another current Summit Navigate strategy on the same premium, age, years, and hypothetical index path. The control labels the strategy type, rate, index, and context so caps, participation rates, triggers, spreads, and fixed-account choices are not treated as interchangeable.

Crediting design
How the interest-crediting choices are framed
Summit Navigate currently shows 8 distinct indexed or fixed crediting choices across 10 current rate listings, including Fixed Account, with 6 volatility-controlled index options grouped separately. These choices matter because caps, participation rates, fixed accounts, spreads, renewal terms, and fee-bearing rider variants are different mechanics and should not be ranked as one simple rate list.
Fixed Account: 5% fixed account rate
Fixed Account: 4.85% fixed account rate
Liquidity terms
Why access rules deserve as much attention as rates
A fixed indexed annuity can preserve more control than an income-only contract, but access is still governed by the surrender schedule, free-withdrawal terms, and waiver language. Those details are where many product comparisons become more meaningful than a simple rate list.
