S&P 500 annual cap rate

11.2% cap on S&P 500

A two-chassis accumulation-focused fixed indexed annuity from tri-agency-rated Securian Financial — buyer picks between a shorter five-year and a longer seven-year surrender filing under one contract — built around an S&P 500 annual point-to-point cap plus trigger, participation, and multi-year cap alternatives on the same index and a Barclays All Caps Trailblazer 5 participation strategy, with a six-figure premium minimum and no lifetime-income rider.

1-year term7-year surrender$500,000+AdvisorWorld + CANNEX data

Best fit

Buyers with a six-figure deposit who want tax-deferred accumulation from a tri-agency-rated carrier, want to choose between a shorter five-year chassis and a longer seven-year chassis under one contract, and want a single filing that can express either a recognizable S&P 500 cap, a fixed-rate S&P trigger, or higher-participation alternatives.

Product analyst notes

How to think about this contract

Why it can stand out

  • Buyer chooses between two surrender chassis under the same contract — a shorter five-year filing and a longer seven-year filing — so the lock-up length is a real lever on this contract rather than a take-it-or-leave-it commitment.
  • Crediting menu pairs a recognizable S&P 500 annual point-to-point cap with multiple alternative mechanics on the same index — an S&P 500 fixed-rate trigger, an S&P 500 participation rate, and a multi-year cap option — plus a Nasdaq-100 cap, an MSCI EAFE cap, and two participation strategies on the proprietary Barclays All Caps Trailblazer 5 index. A single contract can express either a like-for-like S&P comparison or alternative participation profiles.
  • Carrier financial-strength is rated by three independent agencies (A.M. Best, Standard & Poor's, and Moody's), so the strength view backing the rate menu is not a single-source read.
  • Standard accumulation liquidity package is all here — an annual free-withdrawal allowance plus nursing-home, terminal-illness, and RMD surrender waivers — rather than buried in a brochure.

What to confirm

  • There is no lifetime-income rider on this contract in the live data. Do not pitch SecureLink Ultra as a guaranteed lifetime payout product — Securian sells a separate income-rider filing (SecureLink Future, the GLWB-rider sibling) for buyers who need a contractually published lifetime-withdrawal rate.
  • This is a higher-premium-band contract — the live feed quotes against a six-figure deposit minimum. Deposits below that threshold quote on a different filing in the carrier's shelf with different rates, so confirm the deposit size before relying on this page's strategy menu and headline cap.
  • One of the participation-rate strategies in the menu carries an annual strategy spread on the live feed — even though the participation rate looks high in absolute terms, the spread reduces realized crediting. Read the spread column alongside the participation column before treating that strategy as the obvious best alternative to the S&P cap.
  • Surrender charges are highest in the first contract year and step down over the surrender window, with a market value adjustment on early exits above the annual free-withdrawal allowance. Filed in fifty jurisdictions but NOT in New York — confirm state availability before recommending to New York buyers, who are quoted on a different Securian filing.

Not ideal for

Buyers below the carrier's six-figure premium minimum, buyers who need a contractually guaranteed lifetime-withdrawal rate (no rider on this contract — see the SecureLink Future sibling instead), buyers needing an enhanced death benefit or premium bonus, or New York residents where this contract is not filed.

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 SecureLink Ultra

Can I lose money in SecureLink Ultra?

A negative index return by itself does not reduce the contract's account value: SecureLink Ultra 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 SecureLink Ultra's crediting strategies compare?

Use "Compare against" in the analyzer to overlay another current SecureLink Ultra 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

SecureLink Ultra currently shows 31 distinct indexed or fixed crediting choices across 36 displayed rate entries, including S&P 500 Index, with 9 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: 10.75% annual cap
  • S&P 500 Index: 11% annual cap
  • S&P 500 Index: 10.55% annual cap
  • S&P 500 Index: 10.95% annual cap

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
  • Terminal illness waiver

Verification note

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

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
