A Strong Option for Growing Your Retirement<br />

When it comes to preparing for your retirement there are many choices. However, in<br />

up and down markets, it is hard to know if they are the right choices. You not only<br />

want to protect what you’ve worked so hard to earn, you would also like to see that<br />

money work hard for you. Place your money where it will be protected and still have<br />

the opportunity to increase in value. After all, you should be able to retire comfortably<br />

and enjoy that next phase of life.<br />

The <strong>Total</strong> <strong>Value</strong> <strong>Annuity</strong> from Security Benefit is a fixed<br />

index annuity that credits interest to your contract based<br />

on a portion of the returns of your choice of two market<br />

indices – the S&P 500 ® (without dividends) and the<br />

<strong>Annuity</strong> Linked TVI (ALTVI). You also have a third<br />

option that allows you to allocate to Security Benefit’s<br />

fixed account. (Please see the ALTVI Explained brochure<br />

for more details on the ALTVI index.)


A typical American couple<br />

looking to retire ... Bob and Carla<br />

Bob and Carla are both 65. They got a late start on saving<br />

for retirement, so they need a few more years to accumulate<br />

savings. They want to set aside a portion of their retirement<br />

savings with three goals in mind. Bob and Carla want a<br />

product that:<br />

• Will accumulate and has a tax deferral feature (they<br />

anticipate being in a lower tax bracket in the future);<br />

• Provides the potential for increasing value;<br />

• Protects their hard-earned money from<br />

market downturns.<br />

Security Benefit’s <strong>Total</strong> <strong>Value</strong> <strong>Annuity</strong> (TVA) incorporates<br />

all of these goals. First, it is credited with a 5% premium bonus.<br />

So, $100,000 becomes $105,000. Second, Bob and Carla<br />

have the option of allocating their funds into three different<br />

interest crediting options – the S&P 500 ® Annual Point to<br />

Point Index Account, the 5 Year <strong>Annuity</strong> Linked TVI Index<br />

Account, and the fixed account. Third, with a fixed index<br />

annuity, they cannot lose their premium due to market losses.<br />

Bob and Carla wish they had known about the fixed index<br />

annuity product option in 2007!<br />

Accumulation <strong>Value</strong><br />

The graph below shows how TVA with a portion of the premium allocated to the 5 Year ALTVI Index Account is not<br />

correlated to the S&P 500 or a traditional Fixed Index <strong>Annuity</strong> with premium allocated to an Annual Point to Point<br />

interest option. The graph also shows what would have happened if a consumer had placed $100,000, with a 5% premium<br />

bonus, into various retirement savings vehicles over the 15-year period from 1997-2012.<br />

Hypothetical assumptions:<br />

The line graph below depicts how the S&P 500 ® performed<br />

using actual index values. The other three scenarios are based<br />

on simulated activity and the following:<br />

• $100,000 initial purchase payment<br />

• 5% premium bonus for annuity products where applicable<br />

• No withdrawals during the 15-year period.<br />

Legend scenarios:<br />

• 50/50 Simulated: 50% allocation to the 5 Year <strong>Annuity</strong><br />

Linked TVI Index Account with a 0.50% annual spread,<br />

and 50% allocation to S&P 500 ® Annual Point to Point<br />

Index Account with a 2.75% cap, with the 5% bonus.<br />

• 2.75% Annual Point to Point Cap: Reflects a typical<br />

annuity performance.<br />

• Guaranteed Minimum: Given that the account remains<br />

unchanged, the annuity’s Account <strong>Value</strong> will never fall below<br />

your initial purchase payment.<br />

• S&P 500 ® : Historical performance of the S&P 500 ® if<br />

S&P 500 ®<br />

In this hypothetical example, if $105,000 (including<br />

$5,000 to match the annuity bonus amount so the<br />

comparison starts equally) had been placed in the<br />

S&P 500 ® at the end of 1997, by the end of 2012, it would<br />

have returned an effective interest rate of 2.60%, resulting<br />

in a gain of $49,313.<br />

Traditional Fixed Index <strong>Annuity</strong><br />

If that same money had been in a traditional fixed index<br />

annuity that credits interest based on a portion of the<br />

annual return of the S&P 500 ® , during that same period,<br />

the result would have been an effective annual interest rate<br />

of 1.83% plus a $5,000 premium bonus, resulting in a gain<br />

of $37,723.<br />

<strong>Total</strong> <strong>Value</strong> <strong>Annuity</strong> Guaranteed Minimum<br />

As with most annuities, the TVA guarantees that you<br />

WILL NOT lose any of the money you pay in due to<br />

downside market fluctuations. So, at a minimum, at the<br />

end of the 10 years you will receive back your initial<br />

premium plus the 5% premium bonus, for a gain of<br />

$5,000 – guaranteed.<br />

<strong>Total</strong> <strong>Value</strong> <strong>Annuity</strong> simulated example<br />

At the end of the 10-year period, the premium and bonus<br />

in the TVA, with 50% of the money in the S&P 500 ® and<br />

the other 50% of your money in the ALTVI, would have<br />

produced an effective annual interest rate of 3.41%, plus a<br />

$5,000 premium bonus, for a gain of $73,700.<br />

The <strong>Total</strong> <strong>Value</strong> <strong>Annuity</strong> is safe, guaranteed and built to<br />

produce results. However, surrendering the TVA before<br />

10 contract years may result in bonus recapture charges,<br />

surrender charges and possibly a market value adjustment.<br />

Additionally, if the <strong>Total</strong> <strong>Value</strong> <strong>Annuity</strong> is surrendered<br />

prior to the end of the five-year term, for the 5 Year <strong>Annuity</strong><br />

Linked TVI Index, a vesting schedule applies. As with all<br />

retirement vehicles, you should consider your financial<br />

situation and all of the product details before making a<br />

purchase decision. Know if this is the right product for you<br />

by asking your agent to walk you through the features and<br />

benefits of the product.<br />

The information above refers to simulated past performance, which cannot be relied on as a guide to future performance. For the S&P 500 ® Index, the Least, Median, and Best index increase 10-year periods were based on<br />

historical index values as reported by Standard & Poor’s ® . For the <strong>Annuity</strong> Linked TVI Index, the Least, Median and Best index increases 10-year periods were based on simulated index values as reported by Bloomberg.<br />

The Least, Median and Best index increase 10-year periods were determined for each index separately. The Median period is the sixth best index increase out of the 11 10-year periods from 2002 to 2012. It is not the average<br />

of the Best and Least increase periods. To determine the Least, Median and Best index increase 10-year periods no Cap, which applies in determining the Index Interest Rate for the S&P 500 ® Annual Point to Point Index<br />

Account and no spread or participation rate or vesting percentage, which may apply in determining the Index Interest Rate for the 5 Year <strong>Annuity</strong> Linked TVI Index Account, were taken into account. However, in order<br />

to calculate the annual values of the accumulation numbers in the table, a 0.50% annual spread currently applies to the 5 Year <strong>Annuity</strong> Linked TVI Index Account and is reflected in the simulated past performance shown<br />

above. Depending on market conditions, a participation rate may also apply in the future. A 2.75% Cap has been applied to the S&P 500 ® Annual Point to Point Index Account and is reflected in the numbers shown above.<br />

Although this product was not available for the period of time referenced above, actual historical prices of the indices were used in this example, which was intended solely for comparative values and is not an indication of<br />

the product’s past or future performance.<br />

This table does not show what the accumulation will be under any <strong>Total</strong> <strong>Value</strong> <strong>Annuity</strong> because the past performance of the S&P 500 ® Index and the simulated past performance of the <strong>Annuity</strong> Linked TVI Index does not<br />

reflect what will happen in the future. In addition, the actual caps, spreads, and participation rates may be different than what is assumed for this table. Caps, spreads, and participation rates are set at our discretion at the<br />

beginning of each Index Term based upon factors we consider relevant, including market conditions.


Fixed index annuities are not stock, bond or commodity market<br />

investments and do not directly participate in any equity, bond,<br />

other securities or commodities investments. Market indices do not<br />

include dividends paid on the underlying stocks, and therefore do<br />

not refl ect the total return of the underlying stocks; neither an index<br />

nor any market-indexed annuity is comparable to a direct investment<br />

in the equity markets. Clients who purchase indexed annuities<br />

are not directly investing in the equity, bond, or other securities or<br />

commodities markets.<br />

During the 10-year surrender charge period all or part of the<br />

bonus may be recaptured. Bonus annuities, such as the <strong>Total</strong> <strong>Value</strong><br />

<strong>Annuity</strong>, may use factors to determine interest rates that result in<br />

lower interest credited in future years, have higher surrender charges,<br />

longer surrender charge periods, or other charges than similar<br />

annuities without a bonus. The reduction of interest or higher charges<br />

may exceed the amount of the bonus.<br />

The Security Benefi t <strong>Total</strong> <strong>Value</strong> <strong>Annuity</strong> [Form 5700 (3-12) and<br />

ICC12 5700 (3-12)], a fi xed index fl exible premium deferred annuity<br />

contract, is issued by Security Benefi t Life Insurance Company<br />

(Security Benefi t). The Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefi t (GMDB)<br />

Rider [Form 5721 (3-12)], an optional rider available for purchase<br />

with the Security Benefi t <strong>Total</strong> <strong>Value</strong> <strong>Annuity</strong>, is issued by Security<br />

Benefi t Life Insurance Company. Guarantees provided by annuities<br />

are subject to the financial strength of the issuing insurance company.<br />

Annuities are not FDIC insured; are not obligations or deposits of, and<br />

are not guaranteed or underwritten by any bank, savings and loan or<br />

credit union or its affiliates; are unrelated to and not a condition of the<br />

provision or term of any banking service or activity.<br />

The <strong>Total</strong> <strong>Value</strong> <strong>Annuity</strong> and optional rider should only be<br />

purchased if you have other sources of funds to meet your immediate<br />

liquidity needs because a bonus recapture and surrender charge<br />

apply during the first 10 years and will reduce the amount you<br />

receive. In addition, a market value adjustment may apply and may<br />

reduce the amount you can receive. Please see the SOU for an<br />

explanation of the bonus recapture, surrender charge and market<br />

value adjustment.<br />

If you purchase an annuity to fund a retirement plan, such as<br />

an IRA that receives preferential tax treatment under the Internal<br />

Revenue Code, you should consider that an annuity does not provide<br />

any additional tax advantages to those already available from a<br />

retirement plan. However, an annuity does offer other features and<br />

benefi ts in addition to tax deferral that other funding vehicles may not<br />

offer, including death benefi t protection for benefi ciaries and annuity<br />

options that guarantee income for life. Neither Security Benefi t nor its<br />

representatives offer legal or tax advice. Please consult your personal<br />

attorney and/or advisor regarding any legal or tax matters.<br />

The <strong>Annuity</strong> Linked TVI (the “ALTVI”) is derived from the Trader<br />

Vic Index – Excess Return (or “TVI”). The ALTVI has a volatility<br />

control overlay that is adjusted daily based on recent historical<br />

volatility, so that more volatility generally leads to reduced exposure<br />

to the TVI and less volatility generally leads to more exposure.* The<br />

overlay may thus reduce or increase the potential positive change<br />

in the ALTVI relative to the TVI and thus may lessen or increase the<br />

interest that will be credited to a fi xed indexed annuity allocated to<br />

the ALTVI relative to one allocated to the TVI (which is not available).<br />

The overlay also reduces the cost to hedge the interest crediting risk<br />

to Security Benefi t Life (“SBL”). As a result, SBL may be able to offer<br />

a higher cap, higher participation rate, or lower spread on the ALTVI<br />

as a crediting option within a fi xed index annuity relative to what it<br />

would be able to offer with the TVI as a crediting option. The cost for<br />

the volatility control overlay and maintaining the ALTVI is 1.25% per<br />

annum. RBS collects this daily through an up front pro rata deduction<br />

from the TVI in calculating the ALTVI.<br />

* As low as 10% (in the event of very high volatility) to as high as<br />

150% (in the event of very low volatility). Historical average as of<br />

February 13, 2013 = 94.5%.<br />
