I understand value of the account will fluctuate and may be worth more or less than original amount whenliquidated. The “guarantee” features apply only in case of death or, in certain contracts, as a “living benefit” bya cash payout or a series of payments initially consisting of a return of current capital value in the account.
If I have chosen an "income" benefit, I fully understand that such income is NOT a return ON my investment,but simply a check paid to me out of my own account value. There is no set rate of return assured.
I understand a withdrawal prior to age 59 ½ may result in a 10% IRS penalty on any gains plus ordinary tax.
I understand any “living benefits” paid will be deducted from my account and that any deduction over chosen levelsmay result in a significant decline in the living benefit payment from the date of the excess withdrawal forward.
I understand that the “separate accounts” chosen will differ in risk & volatility & the choices are mine to make &that changes made will be effective as of the close of market. There is no assurance that guidance receivedfrom my FAF representative (if any) or a company administered program will result in market gains.
I understand that, under current tax code, that upon death, a “stepped-up” cost basis is not available and thegain is subject to ordinary income tax.
I understand that by purchasing this product in my IRA or qualified account [including a 403(b) & 457(b)] thatthere are no additional tax advantages from which I will benefit.
8. I understand that if there is a “guaranteed fixed interest account” available under this contract, that transfer of
funds between the fixed and variable subaccounts may be limited by time and/or amount.
I understand that there may be a “Market Value Adjustment” (MVA) on this policy, which may reduce theamount received in case of early liquidation. This reduction would be in addition to any surrender charges.
10. I understand that, in times of low interest, the return on “money market” subaccount may be lower than the
annual fees charged, resulting in a total return that is negative.
11. I understand that if purchasing a bonus annuity, it may have higher internal charges, reduced crediting or
benefits and longer surrender periods.
12. I understand that my First Asset Financial Inc. representative also offers other investment choices, e.g.,
mutual funds (w/lower fees). I have considered these alternatives and after discussion and after dueconsideration, I consider this variable annuity policy a suitable product for my financial needs and objectives.
13. I understand that there is a “free look” period after the delivery of the contract (length of time varies by state). 14. Based on my current financial status, investment objectives, age, risk tolerance, lack of need for income or
liquidity, and investment knowledge, I do verify that a variable annuity is suitable for the portion of moneyinvested in this contract. It is understood that this is a long term investment.
15. I understand the items listed in this disclosure may not include all features of the variable annuity selected.
I acknowledge that I have reviewed the above information and agree with the accuracy of the completed items and have read and understand the items in the “Client Affirmations” section. I believe the policy & investments meet my needs at this time. X_________________________________ ______ X__________________________________ ______
