How crediting works: the cap limits positive index returns; a down year credits 0%, never a loss. A cap strategy tracks the index within its terms. What is a cap vs participation? →
Assumptions: illustrative — applies Chartline Bonus's published cap rate (4.5% on Dow Jones Industrial Average) to a standard benchmark hypothetical index path (~5.4%/yr average, including down years) with a 0% floor over 20 years. Growth starts from a bonus-adjusted illustrative account value: $100,000 premium + $14,000 premium bonus (14%) = $114,000. Bonus vesting and withdrawal treatment follow the contract. Not a projection, quote, or guarantee. Live CANNEX rates as of July 16, 2026.

Product analyst notes

How to think about this contract

Why it can stand out

  • A vesting premium bonus is available across several surrender-term choices in one filing.
  • The strategy menu remains broad, with annual cap and participation choices on several recognizable and volatility-managed indexes.

What to confirm

  • The bonus vests over time and the bonus filing publishes lower underlying caps than the base Chartline chassis.
  • Term-specific strategies and a market value adjustment make early-exit and rate comparisons scenario-dependent.

Not ideal for

Buyers prioritizing the highest base caps, needing a GLWB, or likely to surrender before vesting.

Current CANNEX information identifies this product as tax-deferred accumulation. Compare cap, participation rate, fees, liquidity, and surrender terms; use a separate payout-focused contract when guaranteed payout mechanics are required.

Common questions about Chartline Bonus

● Can I lose money in Chartline Bonus?

A negative index return by itself does not reduce the contract's account value: Chartline Bonus 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 Up to 10% of your value can be withdrawn each year without a charge; withdrawals above the penalty-free amount during the surrender period can incur a surrender charge.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 scheduled surrender charges run 7 years; after that the surrender-charge schedule ends. Bonus vesting, market value adjustments when applicable, and other contract rules can still affect the amount available. The Liquidity tab of the analyzer shows the year-by-year surrender charge.

● How do Chartline Bonus's crediting strategies compare?

Use "Compare against" in the analyzer to overlay another current Chartline Bonus 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

Chartline Bonus currently shows 29 distinct indexed or fixed crediting choices across 35 displayed rate entries, including S&P 500 Index, with 14 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.

  • S&P 500 Index: 6% annual cap
  • S&P 500 Index: 6% annual cap, Global Diversified Balance Model Portfolio — 15% allocation
  • S&P 500 Index: 6% annual cap, American Benchmark Collection Model Portfolio — 40% allocation
  • S&P 500 Index: 7.25% annual cap, CAP Amplifier Model Portfolio — 50% allocation

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
  • 7 surrender years
  • Nursing home waiver
  • RMD waiver

Verification note

Use carrier materials as term evidence, then confirm the current version

This page uses the current structured product information for the contract. For the current brochure, rate sheet, or specimen contract, confirm the state-specific version with the carrier or a licensed financial professional.

  • Rates and rider terms can vary by state and issue age
  • Carrier guarantees depend on claims-paying ability
  • Current contract forms should be confirmed before purchase
