S&P 500 annual cap rate

9.25% cap on S&P 500

A five-year-surrender fixed indexed annuity from an A-rated Lincoln Financial carrier, built for index-linked accumulation across cap, participation, fixed-trigger, and uncapped strategies on a small mix of recognizable benchmark and proprietary indexes, with no income rider and no premium bonus.

1-year termAdvisorWorld + CANNEX data

Best fit

Buyers who want a shorter (five-year) FIA commitment for index-linked accumulation, value a mix of crediting designs on the same S&P 500 exposure, and do not need a guaranteed lifetime-income rider built into the contract.

Product analyst notes

How to think about this contract

Why it can stand out

  • Five-year surrender ladder is at the short end of Lincoln's FIA shelf, so capital is locked up for a shorter horizon than the seven-, nine-, or ten-year surrender contracts elsewhere in the lineup.
  • Carrier financial strength carries three independent ratings (A.M. Best, S&P, and Moody's), so the strength view does not come from a single agency.
  • Index menu mixes a recognizable S&P 500 benchmark with the Capital Group Dividend Value ETF and an S&P 500 Daily Risk Control excess-return variant, so a buyer can choose between like-for-like S&P comparison and higher-participation alternatives that ride a different return mechanic.
  • Free-withdrawal allowance and the full five-year surrender ladder are visible on this page, so the penalty-free liquidity schedule is not gated behind a sales brochure.

What to confirm

  • Core Capital is not a guaranteed-lifetime-income product. There is no GLWB rider attached, and there is no Protected Income Value chassis — the live feed shows an empty income-rider list. Do not compare its payout side-by-side with a rider-led income FIA.
  • There is no premium bonus on this contract — the entire upside has to come from the index strategies themselves, with no first-year credit to offset the surrender term.
  • The Capital Group Dividend Value ETF and the S&P 500 Daily Risk Control Excess Return strategies use specialty indexes, not the spot S&P 500 — participation rates on those strategies can look attractive in absolute terms but are not directly comparable to an uncontrolled S&P 500 cap. Evaluate each strategy on its own merits.
  • The guaranteed-minimum cap floor on this filing is very low, so caps and participation rates can reset down toward that floor across the surrender term — the buyer carries that renewal risk. New York buyers should also note that this filing is not available in NY.

Not ideal for

Buyers who need a contractually guaranteed GLWB withdrawal rate, expect a premium bonus, or want a death-benefit roll-up beyond the standard contract value — none of those are built into this contract. Also not available to New York residents.

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

Core Capital currently shows 7 distinct indexed or fixed crediting choices across 16 current rate listings, including S&P 500 Index and S&P 500 Daily Risk Control 10% USD Excess Return Index, with 1 volatility-controlled index option 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: 9.25% cap
  • S&P 500 Index: 100% participation
  • S&P 500 Daily Risk Control 10% USD Excess Return Index: 100% 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
  • 5 surrender years
  • Nursing home waiver
  • Terminal illness waiver

Verification note
