Important Disclosures Annuities are long-term insurance products designed for retirement purposes.

All guarantees are backed by the claims-paying ability of MEMBERS Life Insurance Company (MEMBERS Life) and do not extend to the performance of the underlying accounts, which can fluctuate with changes in market conditions. Annuity contract values, death benefits and other values fluctuate based on the performance of the investment options and may be worth more or less than your total purchase payment when surrendered. Withdrawals may be subject to surrender charges and may also be subject to a market value adjustment (MVA). The range of fees and charges includes a contract fee of 0.75%,GLWB rider fee of 1.00% and surrender charges which range from 0% to 9% during the initial allocation option period. You may not invest directly in an index. Rate caps vary by index and by risk control account and can be adjusted annually on contract anniversary, subject to a minimum rate cap of1% and a bailout provision. A bailout rate is set for each risk control account. If the rate cap for a given year is declared below that rate, you may withdraw value from that risk control account without surrender charge or MVA. You'll have 30 days following contract anniversary to make this withdrawal.
