Volatility control seeks to provide smoother returns and mitigate sharp market fluctuations. While this type of strategy can lessen the impact of market downturns, it can also lessen the impact of market upturns, potentially limiting upside potential.

CIBC has engaged Bloomberg Index Services Limited (“BISL”) to maintain and to make certain calculations related to the Indexes. “Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce”, “CIBC” and “Index(es)” (collectively, the “CIBC Marks”) are trademarks or service marks of CIBC. CIBC has licensed use of the Indexes and the CIBC Marks to Fidelity and Guaranty Life Insurance Company (“F&G”) for use in one or more fixed indexed annuities offered by F&G (the “Product(s)”).

CIBC developed the Indexes without considering the needs of F&G or any annuitant.

None of CIBC, BISL or any other third-party licensor (collectively, the “Index Parties”) to CIBC is acting, or has been authorized to act, as an agent of F&G or has in any way sponsored, promoted, solicited, negotiated, endorsed, offered, sold, issued, supported, structured or priced any Products or provided investment advice to F&G.

In calculating the level of the Balanced Asset 10 index and level of the Balanced Asset 5 index, the index methodology deducts a maintenance fee of 0.85% per year, calculated daily. This fee will reduce the level of each Index and thus the amount of interest, if any, that will be credited to any Product. Furthermore, while the volatility control applied by CIBC as part of the index methodology may result in less fluctuation in rates of return as compared to indexes without volatility controls, it may also reduce the overall rate of return for products referencing one of the Indexes as compared to other indexes not subject to volatility controls.
