a market decline could do a lot of damage 00:00:19.980 --> 00:00:23.160 align:middle line:84% when you have less time to recover from losses. 00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:25.620 align:middle line:84% Building a portfolio that gives you the opportunity 00:00:25.620 --> 00:00:28.320 align:middle line:84% to grow your savings with a level of protection 00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:31.680 align:middle line:84% during market downturns can be a challenge, 00:00:31.680 --> 00:00:35.370 align:middle line:84% but it's possible with Lincoln Level Advantage indexed 00:00:35.370 --> 00:00:36.930 align:middle line:90% variable annuity. 00:00:36.930 --> 00:00:38.760 align:middle line:84% You choose where to invest your money 00:00:38.760 --> 00:00:42.600 align:middle line:84% from a range of indexed accounts and investment options. 00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:45.750 align:middle line:84% You set the level of protection that's right for you 00:00:45.750 --> 00:00:48.240 align:middle line:84% with no explicit charges for investments 00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:50.130 align:middle line:90% in the indexed accounts. 00:00:50.130 --> 00:00:52.470 align:middle line:84% With the indexed accounts, you have the potential 00:00:52.470 --> 00:00:54.930 align:middle line:84% for growth linked to a market index 00:00:54.930 --> 00:00:57.450 align:middle line:84% and the level of protection to help guard 00:00:57.450 --> 00:00:59.850 align:middle line:90% against market losses. 00:00:59.850 --> 00:01:02.460 align:middle line:84% Let's look at a quick example of one of the indexed 00:01:02.460 --> 00:01:05.820 align:middle line:84% accounts available with Lincoln Level Advantage. 00:01:05.820 --> 00:01:10.140 align:middle line:84% Paul invested $100,000 into a six year indexed account 00:01:10.140 --> 00:01:13.050 align:middle line:90% with a 20% level of protection. 00:01:13.050 --> 00:01:15.480 align:middle line:84% During the first term, the index dropped 00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:18.720 align:middle line:84% 22%, which would have left him with an ending 00:01:18.720 --> 00:01:21.300 align:middle line:90% value of $78,000. 00:01:21.300 --> 00:01:24.270 align:middle line:84% Since Paul selected the 20% level of protection 00:01:24.270 --> 00:01:26.580 align:middle line:84% with Lincoln Level Advantage, his account 00:01:26.580 --> 00:01:29.760 align:middle line:84% only experienced a 2% loss, leaving him 00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:33.180 align:middle line:84% with $98,000 at the end of term one. 00:01:33.180 --> 00:01:36.570 align:middle line:84% Paul decides to reinvest into another six year indexed 00:01:36.570 --> 00:01:39.930 align:middle line:84% account with the same 20% level of protection 00:01:39.930 --> 00:01:42.840 align:middle line:90% and a 100% performance cap. 00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:44.880 align:middle line:84% During the second term, the index 00:01:44.880 --> 00:01:49.290 align:middle line:84% goes up 102%, which would have brought the total index 00:01:49.290 --> 00:01:54.120 align:middle line:90% value to $157,560. 00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:57.120 align:middle line:84% Since Paul was protected from 20% of market loss 00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:02.070 align:middle line:84% during the first term, his starting balance was $98,000. 00:02:02.070 --> 00:02:05.280 align:middle line:84% And with the 100% cap, his ending account value 00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:09.660 align:middle line:90% after term two was $196,000. 00:02:09.660 --> 00:02:14.370 align:middle line:84% In this example, Paul ended up with $38,440 00:02:14.370 --> 00:02:16.740 align:middle line:84% more than the indexed value thanks 00:02:16.740 --> 00:02:19.110 align:middle line:90% to Lincoln Level Advantage. 00:02:19.110 --> 00:02:23.130 align:middle line:84% Paul can continue to reinvest into different indexed accounts 00:02:23.130 --> 00:02:26.100 align:middle line:84% and adjust his strategy if needed. 00:02:26.100 --> 00:02:29.100 align:middle line:84% Knowing you have a plan that includes a level of protection 00:02:29.100 --> 00:02:32.580 align:middle line:84% from market losses and the opportunity for growth 00:02:32.580 --> 00:02:35.880 align:middle line:84% can help you feel more confident about your retirement savings 00:02:35.880 --> 00:02:37.170 align:middle line:90% plan. 00:02:37.170 --> 00:02:41.370 align:middle
