Lets take a look at the details of these accelerated benefit riders. Policies issued by American General Life Insurance Company ("AGL“)

Value of Living Benefits
Help cover cost of care for chronic, critical, or terminal illness Provide peace of mind during a difficult time Help maintain quality of life On ALL Quality of Life… Insurance Products NO ADDITIONAL PREMIUM COST Living benefits are quite valuable and an important aspect in today’s financial planning. Not having the proper coverage in place to help protect against the unknown can derail even the most sound financial plans. Living benefits will help cover the cost of care for chronic, critical, or terminal illnesses. They provide peace of mind to your clients during a difficult time. Knowing they can accelerate a portion of their life insurance policy’s death benefit can help ease the financial burden caused by these unexpected illnesses or conditions. It will also help your clients maintain their quality of life. The Accelerated Benefit Riders are included automatically on all Quality of Life…Insurance products. The best part is that these valuable benefits are provided on the policy at no additional premium cost to the client.

Accelerated Benefit Rider Details
Accelerate 100% of death benefit, up to $2 million, for a qualifying chronic, critical, or terminal illness Total accelerated death benefit across all QoL policies may not exceed $2 million Provide a discounted benefit depending on severity of the condition and the expected impact on life expectancy More severe the expected impact on life expectancy, greater the accelerated amount Death benefit will be reduced by the death benefit allocated to the benefit claimed Includes GUARANTEED MINIMUM benefit payout Percentage of death benefit based off policy year at time of claim Indemnity Benefit—No receipts required; spend benefits on anything No underwriting restrictions! These riders allow the client to accelerate 100% of their death benefit, up to $2 million, for a qualifying chronic, critical, or terminal illness. The total accelerated death benefit across all QoL policies may not exceed $2 million. This means, if the client has multiple QoL policies, they have a total of $2M to accelerate across all their policies. The riders provide a discounted benefit to your client depending on the severity of the condition and the expected impact it has on their remaining life expectancy. Because they are receiving a portion of their death benefit early, the actual amount they receive is discounted to account for the early acceleration. The more severe the expected impact on life expectancy, the greater the accelerated amount they receive may be. The policy’s death benefit will be reduced by the death benefit allocated to the benefit claimed. The client is able to choose the amount of death benefit they wish to accelerate. They may accelerate the entire death benefit, or they can accelerate a portion of the death benefit (leaving some intact) on a go-forward basis. Keep in mind that if the client accelerates less than full death benefit amount, the policy costs will also be adjusted to reflect the new, lower death benefit. The riders include a guaranteed minimum benefit payout for the chronic, critical, and terminal illness conditions. The guaranteed minimums are a percentage of the policy’s death benefit and are based off the policy year at the time a claim is made. The SelectChoice II accelerated benefit riders are an indemnity type of benefit. That means the client does not have to provide receipts to receive the acceleration or wait to be reimbursed for their medical expenses. In fact, they can spend the benefit payout on whatever they see fit. There are also no underwriting restrictions with the QoL Accelerated benefit riders. As long as the client qualifies for the policy, they automatically receive these benefits!

Chronic Illness An illness or physical condition that:
Certified in the last 12 months by a licensed health care practitioner AND Affects the insured so that he or she is unable to perform at least 2 activities of daily living without substantial assistance OR Requires substantial supervision by another person to protect themselves from threats to health and safety due to severe cognitive impairment No Permanency Requirement! ACTIVITIES OF DAILY LIVING BATHING EATING DRESSING TOILETING TRANSFERRING CONTINENCE Lets take a look at the chronic illness benefit. A chronic illness is defined as: An illness or physical condition that: Is certified in the last 12 months by a licensed health care practitioner AND Affects the insured so that he or she is unable to perform without substantial assistance at least 2 activities of daily living OR Requires substantial supervision by another person to protect themselves from threats to health and safety due to sever cognitive impairment. The activities of daily living are: Bathing, eating, dressing, toileting, transferring, and continence. Finally, there is no permanency requirement for the chronic illness benefit. That means the insured’s chronic illness is no longer required to remain permanent in order to receive the acceleration. They can now be expected to recover from the condition and still receive the benefit as long as they meet the other criteria. *Claim must be certified by a US physician practicing in the state where the physician is licensed. A claim certified by a U.S. licensed physician practicing abroad is not acceptable.

Critical Illness An illness or physical condition that:
QUALIFYING CRITICAL ILLNESSES MAJOR HEART ATTACK STROKE CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS INVASIVE CANCER BLOOD CANCERS END STAGE RENAL FAILURE MAJOR ORGAN TRANSPLANT PARALYSIS COMA SEVERE BURN Insured is diagnosed by a physician within 365 days of date claim is received Is diagnosed by a physician* after insured’s coverage has been in force for 30 consecutive days (90 for invasive cancer) Is not an occurrence of the same illness or condition that an acceleration has already been paid Next lets take a look at the critical illness benefit. A critical illness is defined as: An illness or physical condition that: The insured is diagnosed with by a physician within 365 days of the date the claim is received by the company. Is diagnosed by a physician after the insured’s coverage has been in force for 30 consecutive days (or 90 consecutive days if the condition is invasive cancer). And, is not an occurrence of the same illness or condition that an acceleration has already been paid under this rider. . We pay one time per critical illness. Remember, it is up to the client how much of their policy death benefit they accelerate. So, if they have a qualifying critical illness and don’t accelerate the full death benefit amount and later have a different qualifying critical illness they can accelerate from their policy death benefit again. You can see on the screen the list of qualifying critical illness for the death benefit acceleration. *Claim must be certified by a US physician practicing in the state where the physician is licensed. A claim certified by a U.S. licensed physician practicing abroad is not acceptable.
9
Terminal Illness An illness or physical condition that:
Is certified by a physician* to be reasonably expected to result in the insured’s death within 24 months from the date of the diagnosis The final portion of the accelerated benefit riders covers terminal illness. Terminal illness is defined as: An illness or physical condition that: Is certified by a physician to be reasonably expected to result in the insured’s death within 24 months from the date of diagnosis *Claim must be certified by a US physician practicing in the state where the physician is licensed. A claim certified by a U.S. licensed physician practicing abroad is not acceptable.

Accelerated Access Solution (AAS)
Additional Chronic Illness Coverage The Accelerated Access Solution (AAS) rider provides valuable protection for your clients if they are diagnosed as chronically ill. Lets take a look at how the rider works.
11
Accelerated Access Solution Details
What is it? -Paid chronic illness rider -Available on certain permanent policies How does it work? -Dollar-for-dollar acceleration -Client always knows the benefit amount How much? -Accelerate 100% of death benefit -$3 million maximum Underwriting details -Table D max UW class -Not available with a flat extra. First, this is an additional, paid chronic illness benefit that is available on certain permanent policies. AAS provides a dollar-for-dollar acceleration which means the client always knows the benefit amount they are going to receive if they are diagnosed with a chronic illness. The rider allows the client to accelerate 100% of their death benefit, up to $3 million. Finally, the rider is available for clients rated Table D or better and is not available with a flat extra. **Flat extra is an additional UW rating that can be applied to any rate classification. If it is assessed against a client they are not able to buy the AAS rider.

Accelerated Access Solution (AAS)
101(g) No LTC license necessary 2-out-of-6 ADLs; or Severe Cognitive Impairment Not expected to be Permanent Indemnity Benefit No Receipts Spend benefits on anything Flexible Benefit Base Benefit = 50% up to 100% of Death Benefit $50,000 minimum up to $3,000,000 maximum Full waiver of monthly deductions Let’s look at some of the benefits of the Accelerated Access Solution. It was filed as a rider under IRC section 101(g). That means that no LTC license is necessary to sell it. Also, it means the definition for acceleration is for the client to be unable to perform 2 out of 6 activities of daily living (ADLS) or suffer from severe cognitive impairment. The condition also does not need to be expected to be permanent in order to qualify for the death benefit acceleration. AAS is an Indemnity benefit. That means the client does not have to provide receipts to receive the acceleration or wait to be reimbursed for their medical expenses. In fact, they can spend the benefit payout on whatever they see fit. The rider provides a flexible benefit base. The client is able to choose all of their death benefit (up to the $3 million maximum) or as little as 50% of their death benefit ($50,000 minimum) to allocate towards the AAS benefit. Any percentage between % can be chosen, but the client must choose when the policy is issued. Finally, AAS provides a FULL waiver of monthly deductions. With the rider, if the client becomes chronically ill and begins their death benefit acceleration we will waive the full monthly deductions inside of their policy for the entire length of time they are on claim. It is a full waiver of deductions, even if the client elected a benefit base of less than 100%. 12
13
Accelerated Access Solution (AAS)
Flexible Monthly Benefit 1. IRS Per Diem capped at 2% per month 2. IRS Per Diem capped at 4% per month 3. IRS Per Diem with No Cap! In addition to choosing how much of the policy death benefit to allocate towards the rider, the client also chooses between one of the 3 monthly benefit options to receive the benefits should they become chronically ill. The client can choose to receive 2% or 4% of their death benefit per month. These options may also be limited by the IRS Per Diem amount. The IRS caps the amount of monthly benefit the client can receive from these types of riders. So, if they choose either of these 2 options, they will receive the lesser of 2% or 4% of their DB per month or the IRS Per Diem at the time they go on claim. Or they may choose a unique option, IRS Per Diem with no cap! This payout option is not limited to 2 or 4% of the death benefit. Rather, the client will receive whatever the IRS Per Diem is when they go on claim. Remember, the client must choose between these 3 payout options at policy issue. We often get asked how to know which payout option to choose. While there is generally no right or wrong answer a general rule of thumb is that for policy death benefits $500k or below, the No Cap Per Diem payout option may be more attractive. On larger face amount policies it could take the IRS Per Diem too long to surpass what the 2 or 4% of the death benefit would be. IRS caps the maximum per diem limitation excludable from taxable income each year. The 2019 maximum is $370/day or $11,254/month. Subsequent years may be higher. 13

Benefits of Accelerated Access Solution
Inflation hedge against future costs Purchase more than today’s Per Diem limit Many products won’t allow it Provides inflation protection with a maximum monthly benefit cap 4% Cap 4% of $300,000 = $12,000 per month Go on-claim: in 2018 and collect $10,950 per month in the future when Per Diem = $15,000 per month and collect $12,000 per month Per Diem $300,000 AAS benefit Maximum monthly benefit: $25,000 per month For clarification, here are a few more examples. With Accelerated Access Solution you can actually purchase more than today’s Per Diem limit. Because we allow you to purchase an aggregate amount and a monthly benefit amount in excess of the current Per Diem, the outcome is very simple. At lower Per Diem amounts you get less per month, but for more months. At higher Per Diem amounts you get more per month, but for fewer months. Let’s look at another example using a 4% cap. If you purchased a $300,000 Accelerated Access Solution benefit, your maximum monthly benefit would be $12,000. Accelerating $12,000 per month would be able to continue for 25 months ($300,000 ÷ 12 = 25) If you went on-claim in 2018 you’ wouldn’t receive the entire $12,000 per month. The IRS Per Diem would limit you to $10,950 per month, which would last for 27 months. And, if you went on claim when the IRS Per Diem was $15,000, American General would limit your monthly benefit to your capped amount of $12,000 per month. Lastly, if you did not choose a 2% or 4% cap, then your maximum monthly benefit is your total benefit divided by 12. In this example, $300,000 ÷ 12 = $25,000 per month. Naturally, if the Per Diem amount is less than $25,000 per month, you’ll receive the Per Diem in effect when you began your claim. 14

ML Strategic Balanced Index® Dynamically blending equity and fixed income indices designed to provide stability with upside growth potential What You Should Know About the S&P 500 and ML Strategic Balanced Index The S&P 500® Index includes 500 of the largest companies in the U.S. market. It is widely regarded as the standard for measuring U.S. stock market performance. The Merrill Lynch 10-Year Treasury Futures (Total Return) Index tracks the performance of a portfolio of near maturity 10-year U.S. Treasury futures contracts. It is representative of the fixed income market. The ML Strategic Balanced Index is a hybrid index that diversifies across multiple asset classes. It seeks growth and volatility control by dynamically allocating to equity, fixed income and cash. Account options that use the ML Strategic Balanced Index may benefit from a higher, more consistent level of earned interest.
26
Equity and fixed income weightings are rebalanced every six months.
Rules-based Indexing A dynamic, two-step allocation process 1. STRATEGIC ALLOCATION Equity and fixed income weightings are rebalanced every six months. 2. DAILY VOLATILITY MGMT Cash positions are adjusted daily to maintain volatility at a target level of 6%. The ML Strategic Balanced Index® employs quantitative rules based on market volatility to adjust exposures between the S&P 500® Index (without dividends) and the Merrill Lynch 10-Year Treasury Futures (Total Return) Index. This rules-based process helps to eliminate the negative impact that emotions may have on allocation decisions, making the process objective and transparent. Equity and fixed income allocations are rebalanced semiannually based on the historical volatility of the underlying indices. Volatility is also monitored on a daily basis, and allocations may be shifted to cash when short-term volatility rises above 6%. The Index seeks to maintain volatility at this level to help balance risk and return. Volatility Control measures seek to provide smoother results and mitigate sharp market fluctuations. While this type of strategy can lessen the impact of market downturns, it is important to note that it will also lessen the impact of market upturns, therefore limiting upside potential.

The value of a dynamic rules-based approach
Stable performance over the past 20 years Annual returns for the ML Strategic Balanced Index® and the S&P 500® Index from S&P 500® Index ML Strategic Balanced Index® ANNUAL RETURN Read directly from slide Note: Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. The ML Strategic Balanced Index was created on August 12, Levels for the Index before August 12, 2014 represent hypothetical data determined by retroactive application of a back tested model, itself designed with the benefit of hindsight. The above hypothetical chart only reflects the performance of the ML Strategic Balanced Index. It does not reflect the amount of interest credited to an index annuity or index life product during this time. Actual results for a specific insurance contract would depend on the crediting strategy chosen and the spread or participation rate for the time period(s) shown.

I now want to provide you some details into the PIMCO Global Optima Index. The index dynamically blends global equity and U.S. fixed income markets to help deliver upside growth potential.

Why PIMCO Global Optima Index™?
The index may capture upside potential in Bull Markets and help protect against downside risk in Bear Markets. Annual Index Returns, Note: Past performance is not indicative of future results. Hypothetical example for illustrative purposes only. Source: PIMCO and Bloomberg. MLSB is the ML Strategic Balanced Index. MLSB was created on August 12, The PIMCO Global Optima Index™ was created on October 9, Returns for these indices before their inception dates represent hypothetical data determined by retroactive application of a back-tested model, itself designed with the benefit of hindsight. The above hypothetical chart is intended only to show the hypothetical growth of the PIMCO Global Optima Index™, MLSB and the S&P 500® Index from 12/31/00 to 8/31/17. It does not reflect the amount of interest credited to an index annuity during this time. Actual results for a specific insurance contract would depend on the crediting strategy chosen and the spread or participation rate for the time period(s) shown. The PIMCO Global Optima Index™ offers the potential for a higher equity weighting to help generate greater returns, on average, than indices with lower volatility targets. The Index is constructed to help manage risk with its flexible allocations to fixed income and cash. As the table highlights, the Index would have generated returns that were less volatile than the S&P 500® over the last 16 years, while still participating in a significant portion of the gains. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.

1. Upside Growth Potential
A 2-Step Quantitative Approach to Help Boost Returns Combine global diversification with active risk management Note: The Index is diversified across the following constituents: U.S. large-cap stocks (SPDR® S&P 500® ETF); U.S. midcap stocks (SPDR® S&P® Mid-Cap 400 ETF); U.S. small-cap stocks (Russell 2000 Index); international stocks (MSCI EAFE); emerging market stocks (MSCI Emerging Markets Index); and U.S. bonds (iShares Core U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF). All equity indices are total return indices, including dividends. Indices are unmanaged and not available for direct investment. PIMCO Global Optima Index uses a 2 step-quantitative approach to help boost returns. Global diversification is combined with active risk management. The equity weightings are rebalanced every month based on market capitalization, momentum and value to help capture returns. Allocations between global equities and U.S. bonds are adjusted daily to help maintain a target volatility of 7.5%. Cash may be added during periods of extreme volatility. The PIMCO Global Optima Index diversifies equity allocations across U.S. large-, mid-, and small-cap, international and emerging markets stocks using key trading signals and quantitative insights. These preset rules do not change in response to market or economic conditions. As a result, allocation decisions are not impacted by emotions, making the process objective, consistent, and transparent.

The above hypothetical chart is intended only to show the equity allocations of the PIMCO Global Optima Index.™ The PIMCO Global Optima Index™ May Shift Allocations Daily to Help Generate Returns or Reduce Risk The Index examines market behavior and volatility on a daily basis to determine what is believed to be an optimal allocation between equities and fixed income to provide upside potential while seeking to maintain a target volatility level of 7.5%. To help optimize returns in up markets, the Index may increase its equity allocation to as high as 100%. During periods of extremely high volatility, the Index may move some or all of its allocation to cash. The Index’s equity allocation has averaged 58% since If it had existed since December 2000, the Index would have spent 1,187 days with an equity allocation above 70% and over 500 days with an equity allocation above 90%!

35
Select Income Rider Only available at issue

Select Income Rider Schedule of life insurance payments will be determined at issue You can choose payment durations to beneficiaries of 10, 20, and 30 years Benefit schedule will be based on the initial face amount of the policy at issue Life insurance benefit payments will increase annually at a rate set at issue (1.01%) Schedule of life insurance benefit payments will be determined at issue You can choose payment durations to beneficiaries of 10, 20, and 30 years Benefit schedule will be based on the initial face amount of the policy at issue Life insurance benefit payments will increase annually at a rate set at issue (1.01%) The DB for the Net Amount at Risk is the PV (DB Installments) rather than the full DB. The discount to the face amount is a tabular lookup. If the policy owner funds the policy more than the corridor, and if the discount rate is more than the corridor factor, the policy could have zero COIs. The percentage of the life insurance benefit selected to be paid in installments will be adjusted pro rata throughout the life of the policy by comparing the initial face amount to the life insurance benefit at death. Rider availability may vary by state.

How It Works Allows for allocating lump sum payments (both 1035s and non-1035s) to index interest accounts over a number of months, instead of all at once. Premiums allocated to DCA will be transferred into the Index Interest Accounts in level installments over future Allocation Days (monthly) Helps ensure a large portion of policy’s accumulation value would likely not be subject to market movements of only one date, thereby minimizing the risk of being affected by extreme drops or rises on a single date.

IUL Supplemental Application
New DCA section must be completed on supplemental app if they want to use it There has been a new DCA section added to the IUL supplemental application. It must be completed if the client wishes to use DCA. Check the box at the top if they wish to use it. Then, check one or both of the next boxes that apply for 1035 exchange and/or lump sum premiums. Finally, please designate the number of monthly DCA transfers. With DCA, the deposited amount will be split into the number of monthly transfers requested. For example, if the deposit is $1,200 and you elect 12 monthly transfers we would move $100 per month for 12 months into the desired index interest accounts. That 12th transfer would also include the interest that had accrued in the DCA account during that 12 month period.

DCA Allocation percentages must also be selected.
IUL Supplemental Application DCA Allocation percentages must also be selected. NOTE: DCA Allocation percentages may be different than the allocation percentages applicable to regular premium payments. Additionally, on the IUL Supplemental application, DCA allocation percentages must also be selected. This is referring to how you wish the index strategy allocations to be split for the transfers from the DCA account. The DCA Allocation percentages may be different than the allocation percentages applicable to regular premium payments.

Disclosures Applicable to Critical Illness, Chronic Illness, and Terminal Illness Accelerated Death Benefit Riders (1) When filing a claim for Qualifying Critical Illness under a Critical Illness Accelerated Death Benefit Rider, for Qualifying Chronic Illness under a Chronic Illness Accelerated Death Benefit Rider or for Qualifying Terminal Illness under a Terminal Illness Accelerated Death Benefit Rider, the claimant must provide to the Company a completed claim form and then-current Certification which must be received at its Administrative Center. (2) If a benefit under the Critical Illness Accelerated Death Benefit Rider is payable, the Company will provide the Owner with one (1) opportunity to elect a Critical Illness Accelerated Benefit Amount as to the occurrence of the Qualifying Critical Illness in question. To make such an election, the Owner must complete an election form and return it to AGL within the Election Period set forth in the rider (i.e., within 60 days of the owner’s receipt of the election form). The Company will not provide a later opportunity to elect a Critical Illness Accelerated Benefit Amount under a Policy as to the same occurrence of a Qualifying Critical Illness. (3) If a benefit under the Chronic Illness Accelerated Death Benefit Rider or under the Terminal Illness Accelerated Death Benefit Rider is payable, the Company will provide the Owner with an opportunity to elect a Chronic Illness Accelerated Benefit Amount as to the Qualifying Chronic Illness in question or to elect a Terminal Illness Accelerated Death Benefit Amount as to the Qualifying Terminal Illness in question, as applicable. To make an election, the Owner must complete an election form and return it to AGL within 60 days of the Owner’s receipt of the election form. (4) Under certain circumstances where an insured’s mortality (i.e., our expectation of the insured’s life expectancy) is not significantly changed by a Qualifying Critical Illness or a Qualifying Chronic Illness and, notwithstanding the Minimum Accelerated Benefit Amount provision, the accelerated benefit may be zero. (5) The failure to provide a required election form (with the requested attachments) within the Election Period provided by the applicable rider (i.e., within 60 days of the owner’s receipt of the election form) may preclude payment of a benefit. (6) Benefits payable under an accelerated death benefit rider may be taxable. Neither American General Life Insurance Company nor any agent representing it is authorized to give legal or tax advice. Please consult a qualified legal or tax advisor regarding questions concerning the information and concepts contained in this material. (7) Generally, we will send you an IRS Form 1099-LTC if you receive an accelerated death benefit on account of a Chronic Illness or a Terminal Illness. We will send you an IRS Form 1099-R if you receive an accelerated death benefit on account of a Critical Illness. The sum that will be included in Box 2 (Accelerated death benefits paid) of IRS Form 1099-LTC or in Box 1 (Gross distribution) of IRS Form 1099-R will be the actual sum you received by check or otherwise minus any refund of premium and/or loan interest included with our benefit payment plus any unpaid but due policy premium, if applicable, and/or pro rata amount of any loan balance. (8) The maximum amount of life insurance death benefits that may be accelerated as to an Insured Person under all accelerated benefit riders is the lesser of the existing amount of such death benefits or a lifetime maximum of $2,000,000.

An Accelerated Death Benefit Rider (ABR) is not a replacement for Long Term Care Insurance (LTCI). It is a life insurance benefit that gives you the option to accelerate some of the death benefit in the event the insured meets the criteria for a qualifying event described in the policy. The rider does not provide long-term care insurance subject to California insurance law, is not a California Partnership for Long-Term Care program policy. The policy is not a Medicare supplement. ABRs and LTCI provide different types of benefits. An ABR allows the insured to access a portion of the life insurance policy’s death benefit while living. ABR payments are unrestricted and may be used for any purpose. LTCI provides reimbursement for necessary care received due to the inability to perform activities of daily living or cognitive impairment. LTCI coverage may include reimbursement for the cost of a nursing home, assisted living, home health care, homemaker services, adult day care, hospice services or respite care for the primary caretaker and the benefits may be conditioned on certain requirements or meeting an elimination period or limited by type of service, the number of days or a maximum dollar limit. Some ABRs and all LTCI are conditioned upon the insured not being able to perform two or more of the activities of daily living or being cognitively impaired. This ABR pays proceeds that are intended to qualify for favorable tax treatment under section 101(g) of the Federal Internal Revenue Code. The federal, state, or local tax consequences resulting from payment of an ABR will depend on the specific facts and circumstances, and consequently advice and guidance should be obtained from a personal tax advisor prior to the receipt of any payments. ABR payments may affect eligibility for, or amounts of, Medicaid or other benefits provided by federal, state, or local government. Death benefits and policy values, such as cash values, premium payments and cost of insurance charges if applicable, will be reduced if an ABR payment is made. ABR payments may be limited by the contract or by outstanding policy loans. Read Slide

The PIMCO Global Optima IndexTM (the “Index”) is a comprehensive equity and bond index, offering exposure to global equity and U.S. fixed income markets. The Index is a trademark of Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) and has been licensed for use for certain purposes by American General Life Insurance Company with select life insurance and annuity products. The Index is the exclusive property of PIMCO and is made and compiled without regard to the needs, including, but not limited to, the suitability or appropriateness needs, as applicable, of the Company, the Product, or owners of the Product. The Product is not sold, sponsored, endorsed or promoted by PIMCO or any other party involved in, or related to, making or compiling the Index. PIMCO does not provide investment advice to the Company with respect to the Product or to owners of the Product. The ML Strategic Balanced Index® provides systematic, rules-based access to the blended performance of two underlying indices—the S&P 500 (without dividends), which serves to represent equity performance, and the Merrill Lynch 10-year U.S. Treasury Futures Total Return Index, which serves to represent fixed income performance. To help manage overall return volatility, the Index may also systematically utilize cash performance in addition to the performance of the two underlying indices.
