⚠️ Important Note About Projections

These case studies illustrate potential outcomes based on FlexVault's four-component system targeting 12%+ returns. Actual results are not guaranteed and will vary based on index performance, carrier crediting rates, market conditions, and individual circumstances. The 0% floor protects against index losses but doesn't guarantee positive returns. These projections are for educational purposes—personalized illustrations are required for any planning decisions.
