year period – December 31, 1993 through
December 31, 2013 – the S&P 500 returned an
average annual return of 9.28%. However, the
average mutual fund investor made just over

2000 and 2009, a period known as the lost
decade. There were lots of ups and downs,

portfolio would have approximately $70,000 (or

Indexed Universal Life products are not an investment in the
%
“market” or in the applicable index and are subject to all policy
fees and charges normally associated with most universal life %
insurance. Life insurance policies have terms under which
the policy may be continued in force or discontinued. Current %
risk rates and interest rates are not guaranteed. Therefore, the
planned periodic premium may not be sufficient to carry the %
contract to maturity. The Index Accounts are subject to caps and
participation rates. In no case will the interest credited be less %
than 0 percent. The policy’s death benefit is paid upon the death
of the insured. The policy does not continue to accumulate cash
value and excess interest after the insured’s death.
