Goldstein Complexity Index
A core part of every Goldstein review. The more complex an annuity, the worse the rating in this dimension — because complexity is where buyers get burned. Simple products (SPIAs, MYGAs) score low; products with stacked bonuses + income riders + MVA + multiple crediting strategies score high.
This product's score: 58/100 — Grade B (Moderate)
Standard bonus FIA mechanics; A- carrier; 10-year commitment requires understanding renewal-rate behavior.
Score breakdown

| Surrender complexity | 6/10 | 10-year + MVA + bonus recapture. |
| Benefit-base separation | 2/10 | Single accumulation. |
| Bonus + recapture | 7/10 | 5-9% bonus over 10-year vesting. |
