A RILA is a long-term tax-deferred vehicle designed for retirement. It is subject to investment risk, the value will fluctuate, and loss of principal is possible. A RILA, which is an insurance contract, allows you to choose how you want to prioritize growth opportunities while managing the amount of loss you may assume. Earnings are taxable as ordinary income when distributed, Individuals may be subject to a 10% additional tax for withdrawals before the age of 59½ unless an exception to the tax is met. Add-on benefits may be available for an additional charge and may be subject to conditions and limitations.

*Guarantees are backed by the claims-paying ability of Jackson National Life Insurance Company or Jackson National Life Insurance Company of New York.

On the contract anniversary on or immediately following the designated life's attained age 59 ½, the for-life guarantee becomes effective provided: 1) the contract value is greater than zero and 2) the contract has not been annuitized. If the designated life is age 59 ½ on the effective date of the endorsement, then the for-life guarantee becomes effective on that date.

Add-on benefits that provide income for the length of a designated life and/or lives may be available for an additional charge. The amount of income that these benefits may provide can vary depending on the age when income is taken, and how many lives are covered when the benefit is elected. The cost of these benefits may negatively impact the contract's cash value. There is no guarantee that an annuity with an add-on living benefit will provide sufficient supplemental retirement income.

§Tax deferral offers no additional value if an IRA or qualified plan, such as a 401(k), is used to fund an annuity and may be found at a lower cost in other investment products. It also may not be available if the annuity is owned by a legal entity such as a corporation or certain types of trusts.

Owners could see a substantial loss during an index period if the index declines more than the level of downside protection. If an owner does see a substantial loss during an index period, the owner may not be able to participate fully in a subsequent market recovery due to the capped upside potential in subsequent index periods.

Indexes are unmanaged and unavailable for direct investment. The payment of dividends is not reflected in the index return.

The latest maturity date or income date allowed under an annuity contract is age 95, which is the required age to annuitize or take a lump sum.

Fixed index annuities are also referred to as fixed annuities with index-linked interest in the contract.
