S&P 500 annual point-to-point cap

10% cap on S&P 500

A ten-year, A.M. Best A- rated fixed indexed annuity from Clear Spring Life with the widest crediting menu in the carrier's lineup — six strategies spanning the S&P 500 cap, S&P 500 participation, three engineered-index participation strategies (S&P MARC, S&P 500 Sector Rotator, BNP Paribas Technology Balanced 7), and a daily-crediting fixed allocation — with a market value adjustment and no lifetime-income rider in the design.

1-year termAdvisorWorld + CANNEX data

Best fit

Accumulation-focused buyers committing to a full ten-year deferral who want the widest engineered-index menu in the Clear Spring FIA lineup — particularly buyers who specifically value the BNP Paribas Technology Balanced 7 thematic strategy or the S&P 500 Sector Rotator alongside a recognizable S&P 500 cap — and can accept an MVA on early surrenders above the published free-withdrawal allowance.

Product analyst notes

How to think about this contract

Why it can stand out

  • Crediting menu is the widest in the Clear Spring FIA lineup — six strategies on a single contract, including the S&P 500 cap, an S&P 500 participation alternative, three proprietary engineered-index participation strategies, and a daily-crediting fixed allocation. A buyer can blend across cap, participation, sector-rotation, and thematic-technology designs inside one contract.
  • BNP Paribas Technology Balanced 7 is unusual on the Clear Spring menu: a thematic-technology engineered index a buyer cannot get on the Highlander or ViStar chassis. For buyers who specifically want a tech-tilted participation strategy, this is the contract that carries it.
  • Crediting also includes the S&P 500 Sector Rotator Daily RC2 5% ER — a sector-rotation engineered design distinct from the standard S&P 500 — alongside the recognizable S&P 500 cap, so a buyer can mix a like-for-like benchmark cap with a sector-rotation alternative on the same contract.
  • Standard accumulation liquidity package is fully visible on this page — the published annual free-withdrawal allowance, the full ten-year surrender ladder, and nursing-home and terminal-illness surrender waivers — rather than gated behind a sales brochure.

What to confirm

  • There is no lifetime-income rider on this contract in the live data. Do not pitch ClearFlex as a guaranteed lifetime-withdrawal product — its job is index-linked accumulation across a wide engineered-index menu, not income.
  • A market value adjustment (MVA) applies on surrenders above the published free-withdrawal allowance during the ten-year surrender period. If interest rates rise after issue, an early surrender can return less than the account value — the MVA is in addition to, not in place of, the scheduled surrender charge.
  • Four of the six crediting strategies (S&P MARC 5% Excess Return, S&P 500 Sector Rotator Daily RC2 5% ER, BNP Paribas Technology Balanced 7, and the S&P 500 Index participation strategy when compared to the cap) sit on proprietary or engineered designs. Participation rates on engineered indexes can look high in absolute terms but are not directly comparable to an uncontrolled S&P 500 cap, and the engineered indexes carry shorter live-track histories than the S&P 500 — evaluate each on its own forward characteristics rather than the participation headline alone.
  • The filing is not available in California or New York — confirm state availability before recommending to buyers in either jurisdiction; Clear Spring's other FIAs (Highlander, Highlander 7, ViStar) are available in California, so a CA buyer who wants Clear Spring's accumulation chassis can compare those alternatives. The death benefit on this contract is the standard contract value rather than a rolled-up or stepped-up income base.

Not ideal for

Buyers who need a contractually guaranteed lifetime-withdrawal rate from a GLWB rider, want a stepped-up or rollup-enhanced death benefit, are unwilling to carry an MVA on early surrenders, or live in California or New York — the filing is not available in either of those states and none of those features are what this contract is built to deliver.

Income riders

Accumulation-focused — no income rider

This contract is designed for tax-deferred accumulation, not guaranteed lifetime income. No GLWB rider was returned because none is part of the contract design — compare against other accumulation FIAs on cap, participation rate, and surrender terms rather than lifetime income.

Crediting design

How the interest-crediting choices are framed

ClearFlex currently shows 6 distinct indexed or fixed crediting choices across 12 current rate listings, including S&P 500 Index, S&P 500 Sector Rotator Daily RC2 5% Index ER, and Fixed Account, with 2 volatility-controlled index options grouped separately. These choices matter because caps, participation rates, fixed accounts, spreads, and renewal terms are different mechanics and should not be ranked as one simple rate list.

  • S&P 500 Index: 10% cap
  • S&P 500 Index: 50% participation
  • S&P 500 Sector Rotator Daily RC2 5% Index ER: 155% participation

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.

  • 10%/yr free withdrawal
  • 10 surrender years
  • Nursing home waiver
  • Terminal illness waiver
