A fixed interest rate is set at the time of purchase for 30% (33% in WA) of the account value. This fixed interest rate is calculated and credited daily. The portion of the account value linked to the S&P 500 Index, 70% (67% in WA), will be credited on the last day of the contract year if there is an increase in the S&P 500.
