S&P 500 annual cap rate

9.25% cap on S&P 500

A mid-surrender accumulation fixed indexed annuity from The Standard (A-rated) built around a single recognizable S&P 500 annual point-to-point cap strategy and a fixed-account option, with a seven-year declining surrender ladder and an MVA on early surrender.

1-year termAdvisorWorld + CANNEX data

Best fit

Buyers who want a simple accumulation FIA with a recognizable S&P 500 cap and prefer a seven-year commitment — long enough to earn a higher cap than the 5-year sibling, short enough to avoid a full ten-year lockup.

Product analyst notes

How to think about this contract

Why it can stand out

  • Seven-year surrender period sits between the carrier's short-surrender Index Select 5 and the long-surrender Index Select 10 — a middle-of-the-road commitment that typically pays a higher cap than the 5-year sibling while keeping the lockup well short of the 10-year filing.
  • Crediting menu is intentionally narrow — a single recognizable S&P 500 annual point-to-point cap strategy alongside a fixed-account option in the live feed — so the comparison shopping is straightforward and there are no proprietary volatility-controlled indexes to evaluate.
  • Free-withdrawal allowance and the full seven-year surrender ladder are visible directly on this page from the live feed rather than gated behind a sales brochure.
  • Filed broadly in the live feed — every US state plus DC except New York — so the contract is accessible for nearly every buyer outside of NY.

What to confirm

  • This contract has no guaranteed-lifetime-withdrawal rider in the live feed — it is not a substitute for a rider-led income product and should not be compared to one on lifetime payout.
  • Caps on a seven-year FIA are structurally lower than on the carrier's longer-surrender Index Select 10 and the carrier's premium-tier ten-year filings — do not benchmark this product against ten-year contracts and conclude crediting is weak.
  • Crediting is single-strategy — there is no participation-rate strategy on a proprietary index in the live feed, so a buyer who wants higher upside through a volatility-controlled index option will not find one inside this contract.
  • A market value adjustment applies on early surrender on top of the surrender-charge schedule, so unplanned liquidity beyond the published free-withdrawal allowance in the surrender window carries an additional interest-rate-sensitive cost on top of the published charge. Not available in New York.

Not ideal for

Buyers who need a guaranteed-lifetime-withdrawal rider, want exposure to participation-rate strategies on volatility-controlled indexes, or want the higher caps the ten-year Index Select 10 offers — a longer-surrender or income-led contract is a better fit.

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

Index Select Annuity 7 currently shows 3 distinct indexed or fixed crediting choices across 6 current rate listings, including S&P 500 Index and Fixed Account. 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: 57% participation
  • Fixed Account: 4.5% fixed

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
