Plan ahead for a retirement that can go the distance

Plan your retirement with confidence with this powerful combination of growth and flexibility.  

3 ways Performance Elite can give you a running start

1. Growth potential

Performance Elite provides powerful growth potential linked to gains in a market index with rates that are consistently among the 
highest in the market.
 

  • If you’re looking for your money to grow at a faster pace, consider a strategy charge option for even higher rates and growth potential.
  • Select from a wide range of competitive and diverse index options plus a fixed option.

2. Simplified diversification

Choose a Strategy Preset® option and automatically diversify across multiple index strategies. This option automatically rebalances each year to simplify annual renewal decisions and adjust for optimal performance potential.
