Index Advantage Income ADV® ANNUITY CONTRACT
Issued by Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America (Allianz Life, we, us, our)
Summary Prospectus For New Investors
This Summary Prospectus summarizes key features of an individual flexible purchase
payment index-linked and variable deferred annuity contract (Contract). The Contract is a complex investment and involves risks. You may lose money, including your principal investment and previously credited earnings.
The Contract allows you to allocate your Purchase Payments and any earnings among the Contract’s available index-linked investment options (Index Options). Please note, we reserve the right to decline any
or all Purchase Payments at any time on a nondiscriminatory basis. Each Index Option is tied (or linked) to the performance
of a specific market index or exchange-traded fund (Index) for a defined time period (Term). At the end of a Term,
we will apply positive, negative, or zero interest (Performance Credits) to your investment in an Index Option based, in
part, on the performance of the Index.
Each available Index Option offers a certain level of protection against Index losses
used in the calculation of Performance Credits. Certain Index Options offer complete protection from Index losses. Other
Index Options have a Buffer or Floor feature that provides limited protection from Index losses.
●
We currently offer Index Options with Buffers ranging from 10% to 30% or with a Floor
of -10%. If there is poor Index performance, you could lose up to 70% to 90% of your investment in an Index
Option with a Buffer after taking into account the Buffer protection and up to 10% of your investment in an Index
Option with a Floor after taking into account the Floor protection. Cumulative losses over the life of
the Contract could be greater.
●
The current limit on Index loss for an Index Option will not change for the life of
that Index Option. However, we reserve the right to add new Index Options, as well as close Index Options to new
Purchase Payments and transfers. As such, the limits on Index loss offered under the Contract may change from one Term
to the next if we add an Index Option or discontinue accepting new allocations into an Index Option.
●
If we offer a new Index Option with a Buffer or Floor in the future, the Buffer or
Floor will be no lower than 5% or -25%, respectively.
●
At least one Index Option with a Buffer no lower than 5% or Floor no lower than -25%,
or an Index Option that provides complete protection from Index losses, will always be available for renewal
under the Contract.
Each available Index Option also has an upside feature, either a Trigger Rate, Cap,
and/or Participation Rate, used in the calculation of Performance Credits.
●
We may limit the amount you can earn on an Index Option based on the Trigger Rate,
Cap, or Participation Rate, as applicable.
●
The lowest Trigger Rate, Cap, and Participation Rate that we may establish if we add
a new Index Option to the Contract are 0.05%, 0.05%, and 5.00%, respectively.
This Contract is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate if you need ready
access to cash. Withdrawals could result in negative Market Value Adjustments (MVAs), negative Daily Adjustments,
taxes, and tax penalties. The maximum potential loss from a negative MVA is -10%. The maximum potential loss from a negative Daily Adjustment is either -99% or -35% depending on the Index Option.
Income benefit riders: When purchasing this Contract, you must also select an available income benefit rider.
Until October 12, 2026, the only available income benefit rider is the Income Benefit. However,
if you purchase the Contract after that date, you may select either the Income Benefit or the Legacy+TM Income Benefit. Both income benefits provide lifetime Income Payments for an additional charge. The Legacy+TM Income Benefit also includes the Legacy+TM Benefit that provides a guaranteed value (Legacy Value) for an additional charge that is accessible
through withdrawals or as a death benefit after Income Payments begin. Income Payments are subject to a waiting
period and are based on Contract Value, not a guaranteed value. Income Payments may be unavailable or end prematurely
if you change ownership or Beneficiary(ies). Negative earnings (including negative Performance Credits), withdrawals, and deductions
of Contract fees and expenses (including any MVA) may cause Income Payments to be unavailable
or end prematurely. In such cases, you may pay for your selected income benefit without receiving
any of its advantages. Also, if you do not take Income Payments during the eligibility period, your selected
income benefit ends and you will have paid for the benefit without receiving any of its advantages.
We designed the Contract for people who are receiving ongoing investment advice from
third-party Financial Professionals who may charge an investment advisory fee for their services. The deduction of this
investment advisory fee is in addition
Index Advantage Income ADV® Annuity Prospectus – September 25, 2026
1
to this Contract’s fees and expenses we assess and will reduce your Contract Value, and will therefore have an indirect impact on features, benefits, and guarantees based on Contract Value. As such, if we deduct investment advisory fees on a day other than a Term End Date, we apply the Daily Adjustment (which can be negative)
to the Contract Value before deducting these fees. If you authorize your Financial Professional’s firm to receive investment advisory fees deducted from your Contract, the deduction of these investment advisory fees is not
subject to an MVA; does not reduce the Annual Contribution Amounts used to determine the MVA, your Guaranteed Death Benefit
Value, or Income Payments; and is not subject to income taxes or a 10% additional federal tax for amounts
withdrawn before age 59 1∕2. The Contract may not be appropriate if you intend to pay investment advisory fees from
an Index Option before the end of its Term. Please consult with a tax professional to determine the tax implications
of advisory fees for state income tax.
All obligations and guarantees under the Contract, including Performance Credits,
are the obligations of Allianz Life and are subject to our claims-paying ability and financial strength.
Before you invest, you should also review the Statutory Prospectus, which contains more information about the Contract’s features, benefits, and risks. You can find this Statutory Prospectus and other information
about the Contract online at https://www.allianzlife.com/what-we-offer/annuities/prospectuses. You can also obtain this information at no cost by calling (800) 624-0197 or by sending an email request to [email protected].
If you are a new investor in the Contract, you may cancel your Contract within 10
days of receiving it without paying fees or penalties, although we will apply the Daily Adjustment if the cancellation occurs
after the Index Effective Date. In some states, this cancellation period may be longer. Upon cancellation, you will receive
either a full refund of the amount you paid with your application or your total Contract Value. If you have an Individual
Retirement Annuity Contract, we refund the greater of Purchase Payments less withdrawals, or total Contract Value. You should
review this prospectus, or consult with your Financial Professional, for additional information about the specific cancellation
terms that apply.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has not approved or disapproved these
securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal
offense. An investment in this Contract is not a deposit of a bank or financial institution and is not federally
insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other federal government agency. An investment
in this Contract involves investment risk including the possible loss of principal.
Additional information about certain investment products, including index-linked and
variable annuities, has been prepared by the SEC’s staff and is available at https://www.investor.gov.

Glossary
This prospectus is written in plain English. However, there are some technical words
or terms that are capitalized and are used as defined terms throughout the prospectus. For your convenience, we included
this glossary to define these terms.
|
NOTE: Cross references in this Summary Prospectus are to the sections of the Statutory
Prospectus where you
can find more detailed information.
|
Accumulation Phase – the first phase of your Contract before you request Annuity Payments. The Accumulation Phase begins on the Issue Date.
Annual Contribution Amount(s) – the total amount that is subject to an MVA when you take a full or partial withdrawal, begin Annuity Payments, or we pay a death benefit during the MVA period. We establish
an Annual Contribution Amount on the Index Effective Date, and we establish additional Annual Contribution Amounts
on each subsequent Index Anniversary if you make additional Purchase Payments. We do not reduce Annual Contribution
Amounts for deductions we make for Contract fees, expenses, or investment advisory fees you authorize your Financial Professional’s firm to receive from the Contract.
Annuitant – the individual upon whose life we base the Annuity Payments. Subject to our approval, the Owner designates the Annuitant, and can add a joint Annuitant for the Annuity Phase. There are restrictions
on who can become an Annuitant.
Annuity Date – the date we begin making Annuity Payments to the Payee from the Contract. Your Annuity Date must occur on an Index Anniversary. The earliest available Annuity Date is the second Index Anniversary,
and the maximum Annuity Date is age 100.
Annuity Options – the annuity income options available to you under the Contract.
Annuity Payments – payments made by us to the Payee pursuant to the chosen Annuity Option.
Annuity Phase – the phase the Contract is in once Annuity Payments begin.
Beneficiary – the person(s) or entity the Owner designates to receive any death benefit, unless otherwise required by the Contract or applicable law.
Buffer – for each Index Option with the Index Dual Precision Strategy, Index Precision Strategy, and Index Performance Strategy, this is the negative Index Return that we absorb over the duration of a
Term (which can be either one, three, or six years) before applying a negative Performance Credit. We do not apply the Buffer annually on a 3-year or 6-year Term Index Option. The Index Precision Strategy Buffer is 10%, and Index Performance Strategy
and Index Dual Precision Strategy Buffers are either 10%, 20%, or 30%. Buffers do not change. Restrictions
on the availability of the Buffers are discussed in Appendix A – Investment Options Available Under the Contract and in Appendix G – Material Contract Variations by State and Issue Date.
Business Day – each day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading. Allianz Life is open for business on each day that the New York Stock Exchange is open. Our Business Day ends when regular
trading on the New York Stock Exchange closes, which is usually at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
Cap – for any Index Option with the Index Protection Strategy with Cap, Index Performance Strategy, or Index Guard Strategy, this is the upper limit on positive Index performance after application
of any Participation Rate over the duration of a Term (which can be either one, three, or six years) and the maximum potential
Performance Credit for an Index Option. We do not apply the Cap annually on a 3-year or 6-year Term Index Option. On each Term Start
Date, we set a Cap for each Index Option with the Index Protection Strategy with Cap, Index Performance
Strategy, and Index Guard Strategy. The Caps applicable to your Contract are shown on the Index Options Statement.
Cash Value – the amount available upon surrender (full withdrawal), and it’s one of the values available if you annuitize the Contract, or when we pay a death benefit. It is the Contract Value (including
any Daily Adjustment) less any final product and rider fees and contract maintenance charge, and increased or decreased
for any MVA.
Charge Base – the Contract Value on the preceding Quarterly Contract Anniversary (or the initial Purchase Payment received on the Issue Date if this is before the first Quarterly Contract Anniversary),
increased by the dollar amount of subsequent Purchase Payments, and reduced proportionately for subsequent withdrawals
you take (including any MVA) and deductions we make for Contract fees, expenses, and investment advisory fees that
you authorize your Financial
Index Advantage Income ADV® Annuity Prospectus – September 25, 2026

Professional’s firm to receive from the Contract. All withdrawals you take reduce the Charge Base, even MVA-Free Withdrawals. We use the Charge Base to determine the next product and rider fees we
deduct.
Contract – the individual flexible purchase payment index-linked and variable deferred annuity contract described by this prospectus. The Contract may also be referred to as a registered index-linked annuity, or “RILA”.
Contract Value – the current value of the Purchase Payments you invest. On any Business Day, your Contract Value is the sum of your Index Option Value(s) and Variable Account Value. Variable Account Value
fluctuates each Business Day that money is in the Variable Option. Index Option Value is increased or decreased
on each Term End Date to reflect Performance Credits, which can be negative with the Index Dual Precision Strategy,
Index Precision Strategy, Index Guard Strategy, and Index Performance Strategy. A negative Performance Credit means that you can lose principal and previous earnings. The Index Option Values also reflect the Daily Adjustment on every Business Day other
than the Term Start Date or Term End Date. All withdrawals you take reduce Contract Value dollar
for dollar, even MVA-Free Withdrawals. Contract Value is also reduced dollar for dollar for deductions we make
for Contract fees, expenses, and investment advisory fees that you authorize your Financial Professional’s firm to receive from the Contract. However, Contract Value does not reflect future fees and expenses we would apply on surrender.
The Cash Value reflects all Contract fees and expenses we would apply on surrender (including any MVA).
Contract Year – any period of twelve months beginning on the Issue Date or a subsequent Contract Anniversary.
Covered Person(s) – the person(s) upon whose age and lifetime(s) we base Income Payments as discussed in section 2. The Covered Person(s) is also the person(s) upon whose life we base the death benefit
provided by the Legacy+TM Benefit if you select the Legacy+TM Income Benefit. Covered Person(s) are based on the Eligible Person(s) and the Income
Payment type you select on the Income Benefit Date.
Crediting Method – a method we use to calculate Performance Credits for the Index Options.
Daily Adjustment – how we calculate Index Option Values on days other than the Term Start Date or Term End Date as discussed in section 7, Expenses and Adjustments – Daily Adjustment; and Appendix C. The Daily Adjustment approximates the Index Option Value that will be available on the Term End Date. It
is the estimated present value of the future Performance Credit that we will apply on the Term End Date. The Daily Adjustment
for the Index Protection Strategy with Trigger and Index Protection Strategy with Cap cannot be negative.
Determining Life (Lives) – the person(s) designated at Contract issue and named in the Contract on whose life we base the guaranteed Traditional Death Benefit or Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit.
Early Reallocation – a feature that allows you to move all assets out of locked Index Options on days other than an Index Anniversary or a Term End Date.
Excess Withdrawal – if you have the Income Benefit, this is the amount of any withdrawal you take during an Income Benefit Year that causes the total amount withdrawn in that year to exceed the annual
maximum Income Payment. If you have the Legacy+TM Income Benefit, this is the amount of any withdrawal you take during an Income Benefit
Year, when the Contract Value is greater than the Legacy Value, that causes the total amount
withdrawn in that year to exceed the annual maximum Income Payment. However, we do not consider payments made under our
minimum distribution program, or investment advisory fees you authorize your Financial Professional’s firm to receive from the Contract to be Excess Withdrawals. Excess Withdrawals reduce your Contract Value, Legacy Value (if
applicable), future Income Payments, Guaranteed Death Benefit Value, and may end your Contract.
Financial Professional – the person who advises you regarding the Contract. A Financial Professional may be a registered representative of a broker-dealer and/or an investment adviser representative of a
registered investment adviser. However, we do not pay a commission to broker-dealers or their registered representatives in
connection with sales of the Contract. The Contract is intended to be used by purchasers who are working with a Financial
Professional registered or affiliated with an investment adviser, offering advisory services for a fee.
Floor – for any Index Option with the Index Guard Strategy, this is the maximum amount of negative Index Return you absorb as a negative Performance Credit. The Floors are -10% and do not change.
Fund – the AZL Government Money Market Fund, the underlying fund in which the Variable Option invests.
Good Order – a request is in “Good Order” if it contains all of the information we require to process the request. If we require information to be provided in writing, “Good Order” also includes providing information on the correct form, with any required certifications, guarantees and/or signatures, and received at our Service
Center after delivery to the correct
Index Advantage Income ADV® Annuity Prospectus – September 25, 2026

mailing, email, or website address, which are all listed at the back of this prospectus.
If you have questions about the information we require, or whether you can submit certain information by fax, email
or over the web, please contact our Service Center. If you send information by email or upload it to our website, we send
you a confirmation number that includes the date and time we received your information.
Guaranteed Death Benefit Value – the guaranteed value that is available to your Beneficiary(ies) on the first death of any Determining Life during the Accumulation Phase with the Traditional Death Benefit
or Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit (whichever is applicable). The Guaranteed Death Benefit Value is either
total Purchase Payments reduced proportionately for withdrawals you take (including any MVA) if you select the Traditional
Death Benefit, or the Maximum Anniversary Value if you select the Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit.
All withdrawals you take reduce the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value, even MVA-Free Withdrawals. However, we
do not reduce the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value for deductions we make for Contract fees, expenses, and investment
advisory fees that you authorize your Financial Professional’s firm to receive from the Contract. These deductions will, however, reduce the Contract Value we use to calculate the Maximum Anniversary Value.
Income Benefit – the name of a currently available income benefit rider that may be selected at Contract issue which has an additional rider fee and is described in section 11. In your Contract, this benefit
is called the Income Benefit Rider. Until October 12, 2026, your Contract will automatically include the Income Benefit. However,
if you purchase a Contract after that date, at Contract issue you must select between either the Income Benefit or
the Legacy+TM Income Benefit.
Income Benefit Anniversary – a twelve-month anniversary of the Income Benefit Date or any subsequent Income Benefit Anniversary. It is the date we determine Income Payment increases. Income Benefit
Anniversaries always occur on Index Anniversaries.
Income Benefit Date – the date you choose to begin receiving Income Payments under the Income Benefit and the Income Period begins. The Income Benefit Date must be on an Index Anniversary.
Income Benefit Supplement – the supplement that must accompany this prospectus which contains the terms used to calculate Income Payments for your Contract under the income benefits, and the Legacy
Value for the Legacy+TM Benefit that is included in the Legacy+TM Income Benefit. Please note that terms can differ between these two income benefits. The Income Benefit Supplement includes the Income Payment waiting period and the table
showing the Income Percentages and Income Percentage Increases. The supplement also includes the income
multiplier factor, income multiplier benefit wait period for the Income Multiplier Benefit, and the Legacy Value
Percentage for the Legacy+TM Benefit. We cannot change these terms for your Contract once they are established.
We publish any changes to the Income Benefit Supplement at least seven calendar days before they take effect on our website
at https://www.allianzlife.com/RILAincomeadvrates. The Income Benefit Supplement is also filed on EDGAR at https://www.sec.gov under Form N-4 File Numbers 333-264349 and 333-255394.
Income Multiplier Benefit – a benefit automatically included with the income benefits, which is described in section 11. The Income Multiplier Benefit has no additional charge and after the required wait
period can increase your income to help pay for care if you should need it.
Income Payments – the payments we make to you under your selected income benefit for the lifetime(s) of the Covered Person(s) that are generally based on the Contract Value and Lifetime Income Percentage
for the payment type you select. Income Payments are discussed in section 11.
Income Period – the period your Contract is in if you take Income Payments. The Income Period occurs during the Accumulation Phase and starts on the Income Benefit Date.
Increasing Income – a payment option available under the income benefits. It provides Income Payment increases on each Income Benefit Anniversary during the Income Period if your selected Index Option(s)
receives a positive Performance Credit, or you execute a Performance Lock during the prior Income Benefit Year. These
increases can continue even if your Contract Value reduces to zero or if your Income Payments are converted to Annuity
Payments.
Index (Indexes) – one (or more) of the nationally recognized third-party broad based equity securities price return Indexes or exchange-traded fund available to you under your Contract as described in Appendix
B.
Index Anniversary – a twelve-month anniversary of the Index Effective Date or any subsequent Index Anniversary. It is the date we apply Income Percentage Increases.
Index Dual Precision Strategy – one of the Crediting Methods available before the Income Period described in section 4, Index Options. This Crediting Method offers 1-year, 3-year, and 6-year Terms. The
Index Dual Precision Strategy
Index Advantage Income ADV® Annuity Prospectus – September 25, 2026
6
calculates Performance Credits based on Index Returns subject to a Trigger Rate and
a 10%, 20%, or 30% Buffer. This Crediting Method provides a positive Performance Credit for negative market movements
when the loss is less than or equal to the applicable 10%, 20%, or 30% Buffer. However, you can still receive negative
Performance Credits under this Crediting Method when the Index Return is negative and extends beyond the Buffer,
which means you can lose principal and previous earnings. Significant losses beyond the 10%, 20%, or 30% Buffer for the
Index Dual Precision Strategy can result in substantial loss of principal and previous earnings. Restrictions on the
availability of the Index Dual Precision Strategy Index Options are discussed in Appendix A – Investment Options Available Under the Contract and in Appendix G – Material Contract Variations by State and Issue Date.
Index Effective Date – the first day we allocate assets to an Index Option and we establish Income Percentage Increases for each Eligible Person. The Index Effective Date is stated on the Index Options
Statement and starts the first Index Year. When you purchase this Contract you select the Index Effective Date as discussed in section 3, Purchasing the Contract – Allocation of Purchase Payments and Contract Value Transfers.
Index Guard Strategy – one of the Crediting Methods available before the Income Period described in section 4, Index Options. The Index Guard Strategy calculates Performance Credits based on Index Returns
subject to a Cap and -10% Floor. You can receive negative Performance Credits under this Crediting Method, which
means you can lose principal and previous earnings.
Index Option(s) – the index-linked investments available to you under the Contract. Each Index Option is the combination of an Index, a Crediting Method, a Term length, and any applicable Buffer or Floor
amount.
Index Option Base – an amount we use to calculate Performance Credits and the Daily Adjustment. The Index Option Base is initially equal to the amounts you allocate to an Index Option. We reduce
the Index Option Base proportionately for withdrawals you take (including any MVA), and deductions we make for Contract
fees, expenses, and investment advisory fees that you authorize your Financial Professional’s firm to receive from the Contract. We increase/decrease it by the dollar amount of additional Purchase Payments allocated to the Index Option, transfers
into or out of the Index Option, and any Performance Credits.
Index Option Value – on any Business Day, it is equal to the portion of your Contract Value in a particular Index Option. We establish an Index Option Value for each Index Option you select. Each Index Option
Value includes any Performance Credits from previous Term End Dates and reflects proportional reductions for previous
partial withdrawals you take (including any MVA), and previous deductions we made for Contract fees, expenses,
and investment advisory fees that you authorize your Financial Professional’s firm to receive from the Contract. On each Business Day, other than the Term Start Date or Term End Date, the Index Option Values also include an increase/decrease
from the Daily Adjustment.
Index Performance Strategy – one of the Crediting Methods available before the Income Period described in section 4, Index Options. This Crediting Method offers 1-year, 3-year, and 6-year Terms. The
Index Performance Strategy calculates Performance Credits based on Index Returns subject to any applicable Participation
Rate, Cap, and a 10%, 20%, or 30% Buffer. You can receive negative Performance Credits under this Crediting Method,
which means you can lose principal and previous earnings. Restrictions on the availability of the Index Performance Strategy
Index Options are discussed in Appendix A – Investment Options Available Under the Contract and in Appendix G – Material Contract Variations by State and Issue Date.
Index Precision Strategy – one of the Crediting Methods available before the Income Period described in section 4, Index Options. The Index Precision Strategy calculates Performance Credits based on Index
Values and Index Returns subject to the Trigger Rate and 10% Buffer. You can receive negative Performance Credits under
this Crediting Method, which means you can lose principal and previous earnings.
Index Protection Strategy with Cap – one of the Crediting Methods available during the entire Accumulation Phase, including the Income Period, described in section 4, Index Options. The Index Protection
Strategy with Cap provides a Performance Credit based on Index Returns subject to a Cap, but does not allow negative
Performance Credits.
Index Protection Strategy with Trigger – one of the Crediting Methods available during the entire Accumulation Phase, including the Income Period, described in section 4, Index Options. The Index Protection
Strategy with Trigger provides Performance Credits equal to the Trigger Rate on the Term End Date if the current
Index Value is equal to or greater than the Index Value on the Term Start Date. The Index Protection Strategy with Trigger
does not allow negative Performance Credits.
Index Advantage Income ADV® Annuity Prospectus – September 25, 2026
7
Index Return – the percentage change in Index Value from the Term Start Date to the Term End Date, which we use to determine the Performance Credits. The Index Return is the Index Value on the Term
End Date, minus the Index Value on the Term Start Date, divided by the Index Value on the Term Start Date. This method
of calculation is also referred to as “point-to-point”.
Index Value – an Index’s closing market price at the end of the Business Day on the Term Start Date and Term End Date as provided by Bloomberg or another market source if Bloomberg is not available.
Index Year – a twelve-month period beginning on the Index Effective Date or a subsequent Index Anniversary.
Investment Options – the Index Options and Variable Option available under the Contract.
Issue Date – the date we issue the Contract. The Issue Date is stated in your Contract and starts your first Contract Year. Contract Anniversaries and Contract Years are measured from the Issue Date.
Joint Owners – the two persons designated at Contract issue and named in the Contract who may exercise all rights granted by the Contract. Joint Owners must be spouses within the meaning of federal
tax law.
Legacy+TM Benefit – a benefit included in the Legacy+TM Income Benefit. The Legacy+TM Benefit can potentially provide a guaranteed Legacy Value that is accessible through withdrawals or as a death
benefit during the Income Period. The Legacy+TM Benefit is not available before Income Payments begin and provides no additional
benefit until the Contract Value is less than the Legacy Value.
Legacy+TM Income Benefit – the name of a currently available income benefit rider that may be selected at Contract issue which has an additional rider fee and is described in section 11. This rider includes
both an income benefit and the Legacy+TM Benefit. In your Contract, this benefit is called the Income Benefit Rider with Legacy+TM Benefit. Not available to Contracts issued before October 13, 2026, as detailed in Appendix G.
Legacy Value – an amount which is the percentage (the Legacy Value Percentage) of the Contract Value determined on the Income Benefit Date that is accessible through the Legacy+TM Benefit as withdrawals or as a death benefit during the Income Period if you have the Legacy+TM Income Benefit. Deductions we make for Contract fees and expenses will reduce the Contract Value we use to calculate the Legacy Value. However, the Legacy
Value will never decrease unless you take an Excess Withdrawal or Legacy Withdrawal.
Legacy Value Percentage – an amount we use to calculate the Legacy Value for the Legacy+TM Benefit. The current Legacy Value Percentage for the Legacy+TM Benefit is stated in the Income Benefit Supplement attached to the prospectus.
Legacy Withdrawals – if you have the Legacy+TM Income Benefit, this is the amount of any withdrawal you take during an Income Benefit Year when the Legacy Value is greater than or equal to the Contract
Value, including any withdrawal taken when the Contract Value is equal to zero, that causes the total amount withdrawn
in that year to exceed the annual maximum Income Payment. However, we do not consider payments made under our minimum
distribution program to be Legacy Withdrawals. Legacy Withdrawals reduce your Contract Value, Legacy Value, future
Income Payments, Guaranteed Death Benefit Value, and may end your Contract.
Level Income – a payment option associated with the income benefits that provides an automatic annual increase to your Income Payments if your Contract Value increases from one Income Benefit Anniversary
to the next during the Income Period.
Level Income Guarantee Payment Percentage – the minimum percentage of total Purchase Payments reduced proportionately for withdrawals you took (including any MVA) that you can receive
as an Income Payment if you choose the Level Income payment option available with the income benefits and meet certain
age requirements as stated in section 11, Calculating Your Income Payments.
Lifetime Income Percentage – the maximum percentage of Contract Value you can receive as an Income Payment on the Income Benefit Date.
Lock Date – this is the Business Day we execute a Performance Lock and capture an Index Option Value (which includes the Daily Adjustment) before a Term End Date.
Market Value Adjustment (MVA) – an increase or decrease to Contract Value based on changes in interest rates if within seven Index Years of the establishment of an Annual Contribution Amount you
take a full or partial withdrawal,
Index Advantage Income ADV® Annuity Prospectus – September 25, 2026
8
begin Annuity Payments, or we pay a death benefit. We do not apply an MVA to MVA-Free
Withdrawals, or to deductions we make for Contract fees, expenses, or investment advisory fees you authorize your Financial Professional’s firm to receive from the Contract.
Maximum Anniversary Value – the highest Contract Value on any Index Anniversary before age 91, increased by the dollar amount of subsequent Purchase Payments, and reduced proportionately for subsequent
withdrawals you take (including any MVA), used to determine the Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit
as discussed in section 12. All withdrawals you take reduce your Maximum Anniversary Value, even MVA-Free Withdrawals.
Deductions we make for Contract fees, expenses, and investment advisory fees that you authorize your Financial Professional’s firm to receive from the Contract do not reduce the Maximum Anniversary Value. These deductions will, however,
reduce the Contract Value we use to calculate the Maximum Anniversary Value.
Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit – an optional benefit described in section 12 that has an additional rider fee and is intended to potentially provide a death benefit greater than the Traditional
Death Benefit. The Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit can only be added to a Contract at issue and is not
available if you select the Legacy+TM Income Benefit.
Non-Qualified Contract – a Contract that is not a Qualified Contract.
Owner – “you,” “your” and “yours.” The person(s) or entity designated at Contract issue and named in the Contract who may exercise all rights granted by the Contract.
Participation Rate – a percentage that is multiplied by any positive Index Return over the course of a Term in calculating the Performance Credit on the Term End Date. Participation Rates are used with the
Index Performance Strategy and there is one Participation Rate per Index Option. The Participation Rate is only available
on the Index Performance Strategy 3-year and 6-year Terms. The Participation Rate is not available on Index Performance
Strategy 1-year Terms. Index Options with a Participation Rate may allow you to receive more than the Index Return
if the Index Return is positive, but the Participation Rate cannot boost Index Returns beyond any declared Cap. We do not apply the Participation Rate if the Index Return is zero or negative. We do not apply the Participation Rate annually. This method of calculation is also referred to as “enhanced upside”. We set Participation Rates on each Term Start Date. The Participation Rates applicable to your Contract are shown on the Index Options Statement.
Performance Credit – the return you receive on a Term End Date from the Index Option(s). We base Performance Credits on Index Values and Index Returns after application of any Participation Rate up to
the Cap, any Trigger Rate, or any Buffer or Floor. Performance Credits cannot be negative with the Index Protection
Strategy with Trigger or Index Protection Strategy with Cap Index Options. However, Performance Credits can be negative with the Index Dual Precision Strategy, Index Precision Strategy, Index Guard Strategy, and Index Performance
Strategy Index Options. If Performance Credits are negative, you can lose principal and previous earnings.
Performance Lock – a feature that allows you to capture the current Index Option Value during the Term. A Performance Lock applies to the total Index Option Value in an Index Option, and not just a portion
of that Index Option Value. After the Lock Date, Daily Adjustments do not apply to a locked Index Option for the remainder
of the Term and the locked Index Option Value will not receive a Performance Credit on the Term End Date. We
will not execute your request for a Performance Lock on Index Protection Strategy with Trigger or Index Protection Strategy
with Cap Index Options if the Daily Adjustment is zero.
Purchase Payment – the money you put into the Contract.
Qualified Contract – a Contract that qualifies for special tax treatment under sections of the Internal Revenue Code (Code). Currently, we issue Qualified Contracts that may include, but are not limited
to Roth IRAs, traditional IRAs and Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) IRAs.
Quarterly Contract Anniversary – the day that occurs three calendar months after the Issue Date or any subsequent Quarterly Contract Anniversary.
Service Center – the area of our company that issues Contracts and provides Contract maintenance and routine customer service. Our Service Center address and telephone number are listed at the back of
this prospectus. The address for mailing applications, and/or checks for Purchase Payments may be different and is also listed

Term – the period of time, from the Term Start Date to the Term End Date, in which we measure Index Return to determine Performance Credits.
Index Advantage Income ADV® Annuity Prospectus – September 25, 2026

Term End Date – the day on which a Term ends and we apply Performance Credits. A Term End Date may
only occur on an Index Anniversary. If a Term End Date does not occur on a Business Day, we consider
it to occur on the next Business Day.
Term Start Date – the day on which a Term begins, and we set the Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation
Rates for an Index Option. A Term Start Date may only occur on the Index Effective Date or an Index
Anniversary. However, if you execute an Early Reallocation, the Term Start Date will be the Business Day we receive
your Early Reallocation request in Good Order. If a Term Start Date does not occur on a Business Day, we consider it
to occur on the next Business Day.
Traditional Death Benefit – the guaranteed death benefit automatically provided by the Contract for no additional fee described in section 12.
Trigger Rate – this is the positive Performance Credit you receive on a Term End Date for any Index Option with the Index Protection Strategy with Trigger, Index Dual Precision Strategy, or Index Precision
Strategy. You receive the Trigger Rate on the Term End Date if the current Index Value is equal to or greater
than the Index Value on the Term Start Date. For the Index Dual Precision Strategy, you also receive the Trigger Rate if
the Index Return is negative and the loss is less than or equal to the Buffer. This method of calculation is also referred to as “step-up”. For the Index Protection Strategy with Trigger, you will not receive a negative Performance Credit if the Index
Value decreases from the Term Start Date to the Term End Date. For the Index Dual Precision Strategy and the Index Precision
Strategy, you will receive a negative Performance Credit if the Index Value decreases from the Term Start Date
to the Term End Date and the negative Index Return extends beyond the Buffer. We do not apply the Trigger Rate annually on 3-year and 6-year Term Index Options. On each Term Start Date, we set a Trigger Rate for each Index Option with
the Index Protection Strategy with Trigger, Index Dual Precision Strategy, and Index Precision Strategy. The Trigger
Rates provide predefined upside potential. The Trigger Rates applicable to your Contract are shown on the Index Options
Statement.
Variable Account Value – on any Business Day it is equal to the value of the units in the Variable Option attributable to your Contract.
Variable Option – a subaccount of the Separate Account, and the only variable investment option under the Contract. The Variable Option invests exclusively in the shares of the AZL Government Money Market
Fund. You cannot allocate Purchase Payments or other amounts in your Contract (e.g., earnings) to the Variable
Option.

Overview of the Contract
What Is the Purpose of the Contract?
The Index Advantage Income ADV® is a product that offers Index Options and allows you to defer taking regular fixed
periodic payments (Annuity Payments) to a future date. Under the Contract, you make one or more Purchase Payments. Except for Purchase Payments received on the Index Effective Date or an Index Anniversary,
each Purchase Payment is first invested for a limited time in the Variable Option and then transferred to the
Index Option(s) that you select for investment.
Depending on several factors (e.g., Index Options you select, market conditions, and
timing of any withdrawals), your Contract can gain or lose value. When you are ready to receive a guaranteed stream
of income under your Contract, you can annuitize the Contract and begin receiving Annuity Payments from us based on the
payment option you select (Annuity Options). The Contract includes, for no additional charge, a standard death benefit (the Traditional
Death Benefit), or for an additional rider fee you may select the optional death benefit
(the Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit) to replace the standard death benefit. However, the Maximum Anniversary Value
Death Benefit is not available if you select the Legacy+TM Income Benefit. In addition, if you select the Legacy+TM Income Benefit, it includes the Legacy+TM Benefit that provides a Legacy Value that is accessible as a death benefit after
Income Payments begin. The death benefit(s) applicable to your Contract may help to financially protect your
Beneficiaries. The Contract requires you to select an available income benefit rider at issue. Currently, you can select either
the Income Benefit or the Legacy+TM Income Benefit. Both income benefits have a rider fee; however, the Legacy+TM Income Benefit also has an additional rider fee for the Legacy+TM Benefit as it provides additional benefits, including the Legacy Value, not offered
through the Income Benefit.
We designed the Contract for people who are receiving ongoing investment advice from
a Financial Professional, and who are looking for guaranteed lifetime income with continued access to Contract Value,
a death benefit for a period of time, and a level of protection for their principal investment while providing potentially
higher returns than are available on traditional fixed annuities. In addition, you should have a long investment time horizon
and your financial goals should be otherwise consistent with the terms and conditions of the Contract. This Contract
is not intended for someone who is seeking complete protection from downside risk, seeking unlimited investment potential,
or expecting to take withdrawals that will not be subject to MVAs or Daily Adjustments (i.e., a person that does not need access to Contract Value within seven years after we establish an Annual Contribution Amount, or before an Index Option’s Term End Date). If you have Index Options with different Term End Dates, there may be no time you can take a withdrawal
without application of at least one Daily Adjustment.
We offer other annuity contracts that may address your investment and retirement needs.
These contracts include other registered index-linked annuities and fixed index annuities. These annuity products
offer different features and benefits that may be more appropriate for your needs, including allocation options, and may have
fees and/or expenses that are different from those in the Contract offered by this prospectus. Not every contract is offered
through every Financial Professional. Some Financial Professionals or selling firms may not offer and/or may limit offering
of certain features and benefits, as well as limit the availability of the contracts based on criteria established by the
Financial Professional or selling firm. For more information about other annuity contracts, please contact your Financial Professional.
The product or certain product features may not be available in all states or to all
Contracts or may vary in your state. For more information see Appendix G - Material Contract Variations by State and Issue
Date. The availability of Investment Options, Contract benefits, or other Contract features described in this prospectus
may vary depending on the broker-dealer through which the Contract is sold. See Appendix H – Financial Intermediary Variations for additional information.
What Are the Phases of the Contract?
The Contract has two phases: (1) an Accumulation Phase, and (2) an Annuity Phase.
Accumulation Phase. This is the first phase of your Contract, and it begins on the Issue Date. During
the Accumulation Phase, your money is invested under the Contract on a tax-deferred basis. Tax deferral
may not be available for certain non-individually owned contracts. Tax deferral means you are not taxed on any earnings
or appreciation on the assets in your Contract until you take money out of your Contract. In addition, during this
phase, you can make additional Purchase Payments (subject to limitations), you can take withdrawals (including Income Payments,
Excess Withdrawals, and, if you selected the Legacy+TM Income Benefit, Legacy Withdrawals), and if you die, we pay a death benefit to your
named
Index Advantage Income ADV® Annuity Prospectus – September 25, 2026
11
Beneficiary(ies). If you begin Income Payments, the Income Period occurs during the
Accumulation Phase and starts on the Income Benefit Date. For more information regarding additional Purchase Payment
limitations, please see section 3, Purchasing the Contract – Purchase Requirements.
Your Contract Value may fluctuate up or down during the Accumulation Phase based on
the performance of your selected Index Options and the Variable Option, as summarized below. Additional information about the Index Options and the Variable Option is provided in Appendix A – Investment Options Available Under the Contract.
●
Index Options. You may allocate your Purchase Payments to any or all of the Index Options available
under your Contract. The Contract currently offers Index Options with different types of Crediting Methods,
including the Index Protection Strategy with Trigger, Index Protection Strategy with Cap, Index
Precision Strategy, Index Dual Precision Strategy, Index Guard Strategy, and Index Performance Strategy.
We credit positive, zero, or negative Performance Credits (i.e., positive, zero, or negative interest) at the end of a Term for amounts allocated to an Index Option based, in part, on the performance of the
applicable Index (the Index Return).
Each Index Option offers a certain level of protection from negative Index Returns.
−
The Index Protection Strategy with Trigger and Index Protection Strategy with Cap
offer complete (or 100%) protection from negative Index Returns. For example, if at the end of a Term, the
Index Return is -25%, we will apply a 0% Performance Credit to your investment (i.e., no loss due to the negative Index Return).
−
Other Index Options include a feature, either a Buffer or Floor, that provides limited
protection from negative Index Returns. Under these other Index Options, you may lose a significant amount of money
if an Index declines in value.
○
Buffer – A Buffer is the maximum amount of negative Index Return that we absorb before applying a negative Performance Credit. For example, if at the end of a Term, the Index Return is -25%
and the Buffer is 10%, we apply a Performance Credit of -15%, meaning your Contract Value allocated to that
Index Option will decrease by 15% since the Term Start Date. This reflects the negative Index Return that exceeds
the protection of the 10% Buffer. The Index Precision Strategy, Index Dual Precision Strategy, and Index Performance
Strategy offer Index Options with Buffers.
○
Floor – A Floor, on the other hand, is the maximum amount of negative Index Return you absorb as a negative Performance Credit. We absorb any negative Index Return beyond the Floor. For example,
if the Index Return is -25% and the Floor is -10%, we apply a Performance Credit of -10%, meaning your Contract
Value allocated to that Index Option will decrease by 10% since the Term Start Date. This reflects the
negative Index Return down to the -10% Floor and no further reduction in Index Option Value occurring as a result.
The Index Guard Strategy offers Index Options with a Floor.
−
The current limit on Index loss for an Index Option will not change for the life of
that Index Option. However, we reserve the right to add new Index Options, as well as close Index Options to new
Purchase Payments and transfers. As such, the limits on Index loss offered under the Contract may change from one Term
to the next if we add an Index Option or discontinue accepting new allocations into an Index Option.
−
If we offer a new Index Option with a Buffer or Floor in the future, the Buffer or
Floor will be no lower than 5% or -25%, respectively.
−
At least one Index Option with a Buffer no lower than 5% or Floor no lower than -25%, or an Index Option that provides complete protection from Index losses, will always be available for
renewal under the Contract.
Each Index Option also has an upside feature, either a Trigger Rate, Cap, and/or Participation
Rate, used in the calculation of positive Performance Credits, if any, that may be credited to your
investment at the end of a Term. We may limit the amount you can earn on an Index Option based on the Trigger Rate, Cap
or Participation Rate, as applicable.
−
Trigger Rate – A Trigger Rate represents the positive Performance Credit, if any, that may apply on the Term End Date. The Index Precision Strategy, Index Dual Precision Strategy, and Index Protection
Strategy with Trigger offer Index Options with a Trigger Rate.
Index Advantage Income ADV® Annuity Prospectus – September 25, 2026
12
○
For the Index Precision Strategy and Index Protection Strategy with Trigger, the Trigger
Rate will apply if the Index Return is positive or zero. For example, if at the end of a Term, the Index
Return is 6% and the Trigger Rate is 3%, we apply a Performance Credit of 3%, meaning your Contract Value allocated
to that Index Option will increase by 3% since the Term Start Date.
○
For the Index Dual Precision Strategy, the Trigger Rate will apply if the Index Return
is positive, zero, or to a limited extent, negative. For example, assume a Trigger Rate of 3% and a Buffer of
10%. If at the end of a Term, the Index Return is positive, zero, or negative but no lower than -10% (i.e., not
in excess of the Buffer), we apply a positive Performance Credit of 3%, meaning your Contract Value allocated to
that Index Option will increase by 3% since the Term Start Date. However, if the negative Index Return were
lower than -10% (i.e., in excess of the Buffer), we apply a negative Performance Credit equal to the negative
Index Return plus the Buffer, as previously summarized above.
−
Cap – A Cap represents the maximum positive Performance Credit, if any, applied on a Term End Date. For example, if at the end of a Term, the Index Return is 12% and the Cap is 10%, we apply
a Performance Credit of 10%, meaning your Contract Value allocated to that Index Option will increase by 10%
since the Term Start Date. The Index Protection Strategy with Cap, Index Guard Strategy, and Index Performance
Strategy offer Index Options with a Cap. Index Performance Strategy multi-year Term Index Options have both a Cap
and a Participation Rate (as described below).
−
Participation Rate – A Participation Rate is the percentage that is multiplied by a positive Index Return in calculating a positive Performance Credit, if any, subject to any applicable Cap.
For example, if at the end of a Term, the Participation Rate is 100%, the Cap is 15%, and the Index Return is 12%
(which is lower than the Cap), we apply a Performance Credit of 12% (i.e., 100% x 12%). However, if the Index Return were instead 20% (which is higher than the Cap), we would apply the Cap and a Performance Credit of 15% would
be applied. Index Performance Strategy multi-year Term Index Options have both a Participation Rate
and a Cap.
−
The Trigger Rate, Cap, and/or Participation Rate for an Index Option will change from
Term to Term, subject to a specified guaranteed minimum that will not change for the life of that Index Option.
Guaranteed minimum Trigger Rates, Caps, and/or Participation Rates vary by Index Option.
−
If we add a new Index Option to the Contract in the future, the lowest Trigger Rate,
Cap, and Participation Rate that we may establish are 0.05%, 0.05%, and 5.00%, respectively. For example, if the Trigger
Rate or Cap for a new Index Option is 0.05% and the Index Return is 10%, a 0.05% Performance Credit would
be applied. Similarly, if the Participation Rate for a new Index Option is 5.00%, the Index Option is uncapped,
and the Index Return is 10%, a 0.50% Performance Credit would be applied.
●
Variable Option. You cannot instruct us to allocate your Purchase Payments to the Variable Option
available under your Contract. We only allow assets to move into the Index Options on Term Start Dates
and Term End Dates. As a result, we hold Purchase Payments you allocate to the Index Options in the Variable
Option when we receive them on days other than the Index Effective Date or Index Anniversaries. We then transfer
them to the Index Options on the next Index Anniversary according to your allocation instructions. The Variable Option
invests in an underlying fund, the AZL Government Money Market Fund, which has its own investment objective, strategies,
and risks. Purchase Payments held in the Variable Option are subject to Fund fees and expenses, and Fund
performance (which can be negative) until being transferred to the Index Options.
Annuity Phase. If you request Annuity Payments, the Accumulation Phase (including the Income Period
under your selected income benefit, if applicable) ends and the Annuity Phase begins. Annuity Payments are fixed payments we make based on the Annuity Option you select and the greater of your Contract Value
(which reflects any previously deducted Contract fees, expenses, and investment advisory fees that you authorize your Financial Professional’s firm to receive from the Contract) less final product and rider fees, or Cash Value. If you
select the Legacy+TM Income Benefit, we base Annuity Payments on the greater of your Contract Value less final product
and rider fees, Cash Value, or Legacy Value. Annuity Payments can provide a guaranteed lifetime fixed income stream with
certain tax advantages. We designed the Annuity Payments for Owners who no longer need immediate access to Contract Value
to meet their short-term income needs.
During the Annuity Phase, you will receive a stream of regular income in the form
of Annuity Payments. You will be unable to take withdrawals upon demand, your selected death benefit ends, and no amounts
will be payable upon death during the Annuity Phase unless your Annuity Option provides otherwise. Your selected
income benefit will also end upon
Index Advantage Income ADV® Annuity Prospectus – September 25, 2026
13
entering the Annuity Phase unless we convert your Income Payments to Annuity Payments
on the maximum Annuity Date. For more information regarding the Annuity Phase and the income benefits, see section
9, The Annuity Phase - When Annuity Payments Begin.
What Are the Contract’s Primary Features?
●
Accessing Your Money. During the Accumulation Phase, you can surrender the Contract (take a full withdrawal)
or take partial withdrawals. Withdrawals may be subject to negative Daily Adjustments,
negative MVAs, income taxes, and may also be subject to a 10% additional federal tax for amounts withdrawn before
age 59 1∕2.
●
Additional Purchase Payments. Subject to the limitations described in this prospectus, we continue to accept additional
Purchase Payments under the Contracts during the Accumulation Phase and before the
Income Period. However, we may terminate your ability to make additional Purchase Payments in the future. We
only allow additional Purchase Payments to move into Index Options on the Index Effective Date or Index Anniversaries.
As a result, we hold Purchase Payments in the Variable Option when we receive them on days other than the
Index Effective Date or Index Anniversaries. We then transfer them to the Index Options on the Index Effective Date
or next Index Anniversary according to your allocation instructions. For that reason, such Purchase Payments
are not available to receive Performance Credits until we transfer them to your selected Index Options and those
Index Options reach their respective Term End Dates. We do not allow assets to move into an established Index
Option until the Term End Date. If you request to allocate a Purchase Payment into an established Index Option on
an Index Anniversary that is not a Term End Date, we will allocate those assets to the same Index Option with a new Term
Start Date. Purchase Payments held in the Variable Option are subject to Fund fees and expenses, and Fund performance
(which can be negative) until being transferred to the Index Options.
●
Income Benefit and Legacy+TM Income Benefit. When purchasing the Contract, you must select an available income benefit rider. Until October 12, 2026, the only available income benefit rider is
the Income Benefit. However, if you purchase the Contract after that date, you may select either the Income Benefit or
the Legacy+TM Income Benefit. Both the Income Benefit and Legacy+TM Income Benefit have additional rider fee(s). You cannot remove your selected income benefit. Both income benefits provide for guaranteed lifetime Income Payments
based on a percentage of your Contract Value. Such Income Payments can continue up to the point of annuitization.
If you request Income Payments, your Contract will enter the Income Period (which is part of the Accumulation Phase).
If you do not take Income Payments, your Contract will not have an Income Period, and you will have paid for
your selected income benefit without receiving any of its advantages. Additionally, if you do not take
Income Payments and elected the Legacy+TM Income Benefit, you will not have established any Legacy Value and will have paid
the additional rider fee for the Legacy+TM Benefit without receiving any of its potential advantages. The terms used to calculate Income Payments are contained in the Income Benefit Supplement. Please note these terms can differ between the two available income benefits. If the terms are less favorable for the Legacy+TM Income Benefit, you may receive lower Income Payments than would otherwise be available through the Income Benefit
at a higher fee. Please discuss the appropriateness of the Legacy+TM Income Benefit with your Financial Professional. Unlike the Annuity Phase, the income benefits allow access to your Contract Value and your selected death benefit
after Income Payments begin while both the Contract Value and Guaranteed Death Benefit Value are positive. The
Legacy+TM Income Benefit also includes the Legacy+TM Benefit that provides a guaranteed Legacy Value that is accessible through withdrawals
or as a death benefit after Income Payments begin. The Index Option Values are subject to
the Daily Adjustment if we deduct Income Payments other than on a Term End Date. However, the Daily Adjustment for the
Index Protection Strategy with Trigger and Index Protection Strategy with Cap cannot be negative. The income
benefits also include the Income Multiplier Benefit for no additional charge, which, if you qualify, can increase the
annual maximum Income Payment after the required wait period to help pay for care if you should need it. The Income
Multiplier Benefit is not available in all states as indicated in Appendix G. A full Excess Withdrawal or Legacy Withdrawal, and certain partial Excess Withdrawals or Legacy Withdrawals, will cause Income Payments to stop and the Contract
and all of its benefits to end. For more information, please see section 11. For information on the terms used
to calculate your Income Payments, please see the Income Benefit Supplement.
Index Advantage Income ADV® Annuity Prospectus – September 25, 2026

●
Death Benefits. The Contract includes, for no additional charge, a standard death benefit (the Traditional Death Benefit). At the time of purchase, you may select the optional death benefit (the Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit) to replace the standard death benefit for an additional rider fee. However, the Maximum
Anniversary Value Death Benefit is not available if you select the Legacy+TM Income Benefit. Both the Traditional Death Benefit and Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit provide for the greatest of Contract Value,
Cash Value, or the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value and become payable upon the first death of any Determining Life
during the Accumulation Phase. Unlike the Traditional Death Benefit, however, the Maximum Anniversary Value Death
Benefit locks in any annual investment gains as part of the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value to potentially provide
a death benefit greater than the Traditional Death Benefit (which is based on Purchase Payments). The Maximum Anniversary
Value Death Benefit cannot be less than the Traditional Death Benefit, but they can be equal. If you select
the Legacy+TM Income Benefit, its Legacy+TM Benefit (which has additional rider fees) provides the Legacy Value that is accessible
as a death benefit during the Income Period upon the death of the last surviving Covered Person. Unlike
the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value, which decreases with each Income Payment, the Legacy Value will never decrease
unless you take an Excess Withdrawal or Legacy Withdrawal. In addition, the Legacy Value can increase on an
Income Benefit Anniversary once your Contract Value is reduced to zero. The increase is equal to the amount of any
remaining unpaid annual maximum Income Payment you did not take during the previous Income Benefit Year.
●
Market Value Adjustment (MVA) Waivers. Under the free withdrawal privilege, you may withdraw up to 10% of your total Annual Contribution Amounts each Index Year during the Accumulation Phase and
before the Income Period without incurring an MVA. Upon a full withdrawal, the free withdrawal privilege is
not available to you. If you select the Legacy+TM Income Benefit, its Legacy+TM Benefit allows you to take Legacy Withdrawals during the Income Period once the Legacy Value is greater than or equal to the Contract Value without
incurring an MVA. We do not apply an MVA to deductions we make for Contract fees, expenses, or investment advisory
fees you authorize your Financial Professional’s firm to receive from the Contract. Also, if you own an IRA or Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) IRA Contract, RMD payments you take under our minimum distribution program are
not subject to an MVA. The minimum distribution program is not available if you have a qualified plan Contract.
Withdrawals under these waivers are still subject to income taxes (and may also be subject to a 10% additional
federal tax for amounts withdrawn before age 59 1∕2), and to the Daily Adjustment if taken other than on a Term End Date, and may reduce
Contract benefits (perhaps significantly and by more than the amount withdrawn). Legacy Withdrawals can also cause Income Payments to stop and the Contract and all of its benefits to end.
●
Deduction of Investment Advisory Fees. These fees are in addition to this Contract’s fees and expenses. If you authorize your Financial Professional’s firm to receive investment advisory fees from your Contract as described in section 1, The Contract – Investment Advisory Fees, deduction of these fees is not subject to an MVA; does not reduce your Guaranteed Death Benefit Value, Income Payments, or Legacy Value; and is not
subject to income taxes or a 10% additional federal tax for amounts withdrawn before than age 59 1∕2. Consult with a tax professional to determine the tax implications of advisory fees for state income tax. However, deduction of these fees
is subject to the Daily Adjustment if taken other than on a Term End Date.
●
Performance Lock and Early Reallocation. Performance Lock is a feature that allows you to lock in an Index Option’s Index Option Value prior to the Term End Date. After the Lock Date, Daily Adjustments
do not apply to the locked Index Option for the remainder of the Term, and the locked Index Option Value will
not receive a Performance Credit on the Term End Date. If you exercise a Performance Lock, the Index Option Value stays
in the locked Index Option for the remainder of the current Index Year unless you execute an Early Reallocation
(if available to you). Early Reallocation is a feature that allows you to transfer all assets out of a locked Index
Option prior to the Term End Date, subject to certain conditions and limitations. Executing an Early Reallocation will
result in the remainder of the Index Year for the locked Index Option, from the date you execute the Early Reallocation,
being added to your new Term length.
What is the Daily Adjustment?
The Daily Adjustment is how we calculate Index Option Values on Business Days other
than the Term Start Date or Term End Date. The Variable Option is not subject to the Daily Adjustment.
Before the end of an Index Option’s Term, if you take any type of withdrawal, execute a Performance Lock, begin Income Payments or Annuity Payments, or if we pay a death benefit or deduct a fee or expense,
we base the transaction on the interim Index Option Value, which includes the Daily Adjustment. The Daily Adjustment
approximates the Index Option Value that will be available on the Term End Date. It is the estimated present value
of the future Performance Credit that we will apply on the Term End Date. The Daily Adjustment for the Index Protection
Strategy with Trigger and Index Protection Strategy with Cap can only be positive or zero – it cannot be negative. However, the Daily Adjustment can be
Index Advantage Income ADV® Annuity Prospectus – September 25, 2026
15
positive, zero, or negative with the Index Dual Precision Strategy, Index Precision
Strategy, Index Guard Strategy, or Index Performance Strategy. The Daily Adjustment fluctuates daily and, if it is negative, you could lose a significant
amount of money. The Daily Adjustment could result in a loss beyond the protection of the Buffer or
Floor. Although with the Index Protection Strategy with Trigger and Index Protection Strategy with Cap the
Daily Adjustment cannot be negative, deductions of Contract fees and expenses, including any negative MVA, and
tax consequences, could cause you to lose principal and previously credited earnings. The Daily Adjustment could
reflect significantly less gain, or more loss than we would apply to an Index Option at the end of a Term. If you have
Index Options with different Term End Dates, there may be no time that any such transaction can be performed without
the application of at least one Daily Adjustment. Additionally, if, within seven years after the establishment of an Annual Contribution
Amount, you take a full or partial withdrawal (including an Excess Withdrawal), begin
Annuity Payments, or we pay a death benefit, such transactions are subject to an MVA, which may cause you to lose
a significant amount of money.

|
Are There
Charges or
Adjustments
for Early
Withdrawals?
|
Yes, your Contract may be subject to charges for early withdrawals. If you withdraw money
within seven years after we establish an Annual Contribution Amount, an MVA based
on
changes in interest rates will apply. An MVA may be positive, negative, or equal to
zero. The
maximum negative MVA is -10% (as a percentage of Contract Value for a full withdrawal,
or
as a percentage of the amount withdrawn for a partial withdrawal). For example, if
you take
a $100,000 withdrawal during the period the MVA applies, you could lose up to $10,000
due
to a negative MVA. This loss will be greater if there is a negative Daily Adjustment,
income
taxes, or tax penalties.
In addition, if you take a full or partial withdrawal from an Index Option on a date
other than
the Term End Date, a Daily Adjustment will apply to the Index Option Value available
for
withdrawal. The Daily Adjustment also applies if before the Term End Date you take
Income
Payments, you execute a Performance Lock, you annuitize the Contract, we pay a death
benefit, or we deduct Contract fees, expenses, or investment advisory fees you authorize
your Financial Professional’s firm to receive from the Contract. The Daily Adjustment may
be negative depending on the applicable Crediting Method. You will lose money if the
Daily
Adjustment is negative.
●Index Dual Precision Strategy, Index Precision Strategy, Index Guard Strategy,
and Index Performance Strategy. Daily Adjustments under these Crediting Methods
may be positive, negative, or equal to zero. A negative Daily Adjustment will result
in a
loss, and could result in a loss beyond the protection of the 10%, 20%, or 30% Buffer;
or -10% Floor, as applicable. The maximum potential loss from a negative Daily
Adjustment is: -99% for the Index Dual Precision Strategy, Index Precision Strategy,
and Index Performance Strategy; and -35% for the Index Guard Strategy. For
example, if you allocate $100,000 to a 1-year Term Index Option with 10% Buffer and
later withdraw the entire amount before the Term has ended, you could lose up to
$99,000 of your investment. This loss will be greater if you also are subject to a
negative MVA, income taxes, and tax penalties.
●Index Protection Strategy with Trigger and Index Protection Strategy with Cap.
Daily Adjustments under these Crediting Methods may be positive or equal to zero,
but
cannot be negative.

Are There
Ongoing Fees
and
Expenses?
|
Yes, there are ongoing fees and expenses. The table below describes the fees and
expenses that you may pay each year, depending on the options you choose. Please refer
to your Contract specifications page for information about the specific fees you will
pay
each year based on the options you have elected. These ongoing fees and expenses do
not reflect any investment advisory fees paid to a Financial Professional from your
Contract
Value or other assets of the Owner. If such charges were reflected, these ongoing
fees and
expenses would be higher.
There is an implicit ongoing fee on Index Options to the extent that your participation
in Index gains is limited by us through a Cap or Trigger Rate. This means that your
returns may be lower than the Index’s returns. In return for accepting this limit on Index
gains, you will receive some protection from Index losses. This implicit ongoing fee
is not
reflected in the tables below. Additionally, if we add Index Options with a guaranteed
minimum Participation Rate less than 100%, the Participation Rate would be an
implicit ongoing fee and limit Index gains.

|
Is There a Risk
of Loss from
Poor
Performance?
|
Yes, you can lose money by investing in the Contract, including loss of principal and
previous earnings.
The maximum amount of loss that you could experience from negative Index Return,
after taking into account the current limits on Index loss provided under the
Contract, is: -90% with a 10% Buffer; -80% with a 20% Buffer; -70% with a 30% Buffer;
-10% with the Floor; and 0% with the Index Protection Strategy with Cap and Index
Protection Strategy with Trigger.
The limits on Index loss offered under the Contract may change from one Term to the
next if we add an Index Option or discontinue accepting new allocations into an
Index Option. However, at least one Index Option with a Buffer no lower than 5% or
Floor no lower than -25%, or an Index Option that provides complete protection from
Index losses, will always be available for renewal under the Contract.

Is This a
Short-Term
Investment?
|
No, this Contract is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate if you need
ready
access to cash.
• Considering the benefits of tax deferral, long-term income, and living benefit guarantees,
the Contract is generally more beneficial to investors with a long investment time
horizon.
• Withdrawals are subject to income taxes, and may also be subject to a 10% additional
federal tax for amounts withdrawn before age 59 1∕2.
• If, within seven years after we establish an Annual Contribution Amount, you take
a full or
partial withdrawal or begin Annuity Payments, or we pay a death benefit, an MVA will
apply. An MVA is an adjustment based on changes in interest rates and may be positive,
negative, or equal to zero. An MVA will be negative if the corporate bond yield on
the date
of deduction is higher than the corporate bond yield on the date that the Annual
Contribution Amount was established. If you take a full withdrawal or begin Annuity
Payments, or if we pay a death benefit, the maximum negative MVA is -10% of Contract
Value. On a partial withdrawal, we limit the maximum negative MVA to -10% of the
amount withdrawn.
• Amounts invested in an Index Option must be held in the Index Option for the full
Term
before they can receive a Performance Credit. We apply a Daily Adjustment if, before
the
Term End Date, you take a full or partial withdrawal, you take Income Payments, you
execute a Performance Lock, you annuitize the Contract, we pay a death benefit, or
we
deduct Contract fees, expenses, or investment advisory fees that you authorize your
Financial Professional’s firm to receive from the Contract.
• The Daily Adjustment may be negative with the Index Dual Precision Strategy, Index
Precision Strategy, Index Guard Strategy, and Index Performance Strategy. You will
lose
money if the Daily Adjustment is negative.
• Withdrawals and other deductions from an Index Option prior to a Term End Date will
result in a proportionate reduction to your Index Option Base. The proportionate reduction
could be greater than the amount withdrawn or deducted. Reductions to your Index
Option Base will result in lower Index Option Values for the remainder of the Term
and
lower gains (if any) on the Term End Date.
• On the Term End Date, you can transfer assets invested in an Index Option by changing
your allocation instructions. If you do not change your allocation instructions, you
will
continue to be invested in the same Index Option with a new Term Start Date. The new
Term will be subject to the applicable renewal Trigger Rate, Cap, and/or Participation
Rate.

What are the
Risks
Associated
with the
Investment
Options?
|
• An investment in the Contract is subject to the risk of poor investment performance
and
can vary depending on the performance of the Variable Option and the Index Options
available under the Contract.
• The Variable Option and each Index Option have their own unique risks.
• You should review the Fund’s prospectus and disclosures, including risk factors, before
making an investment decision.
• Caps and Trigger Rates will limit positive Performance Credits (e.g., limited upside).
This
may result in earning less than the Index Return.
– For example, if at the end of a 1-year Term, the Index Return is 25% and the Cap is
15%, we apply a Performance Credit of 15%, meaning your Contract Value allocated
to that Index Option will increase by 15% since the Term Start Date. If at the end
of the
Term, the Index Return is 6% and the Trigger Rate is 3%, we apply a Performance
Credit of 3%, meaning your Contract Value allocated to that Index Option will increase
by 3% since the Term Start Date.
• The Buffer or Floor will limit negative Performance Credits (e.g., limited protection
in the
case of Index decline). However, you bear the risk for all Index losses that exceed
the Buffer. You also bear the risk for Index losses down to the Floor.
– For example, if at the end of a Term, the Index Return is -25% and the Buffer is 10%,
we apply a Performance Credit of -15%, meaning your Contract Value allocated to that
Index Option will decrease by 15% since the Term Start Date. If the Index Return is
-25% and the Floor is -10%, we apply a Performance Credit of -10%, meaning your
Contract Value allocated to that Index Option will decrease by 10% since the Term
Start Date.
• The Indexes are price return indexes, not total return indexes. This means that the
Index
Options do not receive any dividends payable on these securities. The Index Options
also
do not directly participate in the returns of the Indexes or the Indexes’ component
securities. This will reduce the Index Return and may cause the Index to underperform
a
direct investment in the securities composing the Index.

RESTRICTIONS

|

|
Are There
Restrictions on
the Investment
Options?
|
Yes, there are limits on the Investment Options.
• Certain Index Options may not be available under your Contract (see Appendix A).
• The availability of Investment Options may vary depending on the broker-dealer through
which the Contract is sold (see Appendix H).
• We can add new Index Options to your Contract in the future.
• You cannot allocate Purchase Payments to the Variable Option. The sole purpose of
the
Variable Option is to hold Purchase Payments until they are transferred to your selected
Index Options.
• We restrict additional Purchase Payments during the Accumulation Phase. Each Index
Year before the Income Period, you cannot add more than your initial amount (i.e.,
the
total of all Purchase Payments received before the first Quarterly Contract Anniversary
of
the first Contract Year) without our prior approval.
• We do not accept additional Purchase Payments during the Income Period (which is part
of the Accumulation Phase) or the Annuity Phase.
• We typically only allow assets to move into the Index Options on the Index Effective
Date
and on subsequent Index Anniversaries as discussed in section 3, Purchasing the
Contract – Allocation of Purchase Payments and Contract Value Transfers. However, if
you execute an Early Reallocation, we will move assets into an Index Option on the
Business Day we receive your Early Reallocation request in Good Order.
• You can typically transfer Index Option Value only on Term End Dates. However, you
can
transfer all assets out of an Index Option before the Term End Date by first executing
a
Performance Lock and then either requesting an Early Reallocation with new allocation
instructions or changing your allocation instructions before the next Index Anniversary.
For more information, see section 6, Valuing Your Contract – Performance Locks and
Early Reallocations.
• We do not allow assets to move into an established Index Option until the Term End
Date.
If you request to allocate a Purchase Payment into an established Index Option on
an
Index Anniversary that is not a Term End Date, we will allocate those assets to the
same
Index Option with a new Term Start Date.
• We reserve the right to substitute the Fund in which the Variable Option invests.
We also
reserve the right to close Index Options to new Purchase Payments and transfers, and
to
substitute Indexes either on a Term Start Date or during a Term.
• We may terminate your ability to make additional Purchase Payments during the
Accumulation Phase because we reserve the right to decline any or all Purchase
Payments at any time on a nondiscriminatory basis.
• Caps, Trigger Rates, and Participation Rates will change from one Term to the next
subject to their contractual minimum guarantees.
• The 10%, 20%, and 30% Buffers, and -10% Floors for the currently available Index
Options do not change. However, if we add a new Index Option to your Contract after
the
Issue Date, we establish the Buffer or Floor for it on the date we add the Index Option
to
your Contract. For a new Index Option, the minimum Buffer is 5% and the minimum Floor
is -25%.

Are There Any
Restrictions on
Contract
Benefits?
|
Yes, there are restrictions on Contract benefits.
• The availability of Contract benefits may vary depending on the broker-dealer through
which the Contract is sold (see Appendix H)
• We do not allow Performance Locks to occur on Term End Dates. We will not execute
your request for a Performance Lock on Index Protection Strategy with Trigger or Index
Protection Strategy with Cap Index Options if the Daily Adjustment is zero. This may
limit
your ability to take advantage of the benefits of the Early Reallocation feature.
We do not
accept Early Reallocation requests within 14 calendar days before an Index Anniversary.
On October 13, 2026, the limit for Early Reallocations increases from 12 each Index
Year
to 24.
• We reserve the right to discontinue or modify the Minimum Distribution Program and
Investment Advisory Fees program.
• Deductions we make for investment advisory fees reduce your Contract Value (and
therefore Cash Value) by the amount withdrawn on a dollar for dollar basis. This Contract
Value reduction also decreases your initial annual maximum Income Payment which is
based on Contract Value. As Contract Value is one of the components we use to calculate
RMD payments, these deductions may also reduce your RMD payments. These
deductions also reduce the following proportionately by the percentage of Contract
Value
withdrawn: Charge Base, Index Option Base, Index Option Value, and Variable Account
Value.
• The death benefits and your selected income benefit are only available during the
Accumulation Phase. Upon annuitization, these benefits will end.
• The Income Benefit and Legacy+TM Income Benefit terms stated in the Income Benefit
Supplement may be modified before issue. A minimum waiting period applies before
Income Payments may be taken under either income benefit. In addition, even if the
waiting period has expired, Income Payments cannot begin before age 50. During the
Income Period, only the Index Options with the Index Protection Strategy with Trigger
and
Index Protection Strategy with Cap are available to you. Withdrawals will reduce the
initial
annual maximum Income Payment. Withdrawals that exceed limits specified by the terms
of your selected income benefit (including Excess Withdrawals and Legacy Withdrawals,
if applicable) will reduce your future annual maximum Income Payment. These reductions
may be greater than the value withdrawn and could end the benefit. After the Issue
Date,
your selected income benefit may terminate under certain circumstances as stated in
section 11, Income Benefits.
• The Traditional Death Benefit may not be modified, but it will terminate if you take
withdrawals (including Income Payments) that reduce both the Contract Value and
Guaranteed Death Benefit Value to zero. Withdrawals may reduce the Traditional Death
Benefit’s Guaranteed Death Benefit Value by more than the value withdrawn and could
end the Traditional Death Benefit.
• The Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit is not available if you select the
Legacy+TM Income Benefit. The optional Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit may
not be modified. Withdrawals (including Income Payments) may reduce the Maximum
Anniversary Value Death Benefit’s Guaranteed Death Benefit Value by more than the
value withdrawn and will end the Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit if the
withdrawals reduce both the Contract Value and Guaranteed Death Benefit Value to zero.

How are
Investment
Professionals
Compensated?
|
We do not pay sales commissions in connection with sales of the Contracts. Rather,
you
pay an investment advisory fee to your Financial Professional. We do not set your
investment advisory fee or receive any part of it. However, Financial Professionals
and their
managers may be eligible for benefits from us or our wholly-owned subsidiary distributor,
such as production incentive bonuses, insurance benefits, and non-cash compensation
items. We and/or our wholly owned subsidiary distributor may also make marketing support
payments to certain selling firms for marketing services and costs associated with
Contract
sales. This conflict of interest may influence your Financial Professional to recommend
this
Contract over another investment.

Should I
Exchange my
Contract?
|
Whether to exchange your existing Contract for a new contract is a decision that each
investor should make based on their personal circumstances and financial objectives.
However, in making this decision you should be aware that some Financial Professionals
may have a financial incentive to offer you a new contract in place of one you already
own.
You should only exchange your Contract if you determine, after comparing the features,
risks, and fees of both contracts, including any fees or penalties to terminate your
existing
Contract, that it is better for you to purchase the new contract rather than continue
to own
your existing Contract.

• Only available during the Accumulation

solely for advisory services provided with
respect to the Contract, and require the
Contract to be the sole source of payment.
• Deductions we make for investment advisory
fees reduce your Contract Value (and
therefore Cash Value) dollar for dollar by the

Lifetime withdrawal benefit providing for yearly

Covered Person(s) if conditions are satisfied.
We base the initial Income Payment on the
Lifetime Income Percentage and Contract
Value. If you choose the Level Income payment
option and meet the age requirements stated in
section 11, we guarantee your initial annual
maximum Income Payment will be at least the
Level Income Guarantee Payment Percentage
multiplied by your total Purchase Payments
adjusted for withdrawals.
The automatic annual payment change feature
may increase or decrease payments after the
Income Benefit Date.
If you elect Level Income, payments increase if
your Contract Value multiplied by the Lifetime
Income Percentage as of the Income Benefit
Date results in a higher annual maximum
Income Payment and you took the maximum
permitted payment during the prior Income
Benefit Year.
If you elect Dynamic Income, the annual
maximum Income Payment will change based
on Index Option performance. Negative Index
Option performance may significantly reduce
the annual maximum Income Payment if you
allocate to the Index Dual Precision Strategy,
Index Precision Strategy, Index Guard Strategy,
or Index Performance Strategy Index Options.
Includes the Income Multiplier Benefit for no
additional charge that can increase income to
help pay for needed care.
Includes the Legacy+TM Benefit that during the
Income Period provides a guaranteed Legacy
Value that is accessible through Legacy
Withdrawals, or as a death benefit upon the
death of the last surviving Covered Person.
Unlike the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value,
which decreases with each Income Payment,
the Legacy Value will never decrease unless
you take an Excess Withdrawal or Legacy
Withdrawal. Once your Contract Value is
reduced to zero, the Legacy Value will increase
on an Income Benefit Anniversary by the
amount of any remaining unpaid annual
maximum Income Payment from the previous
Income Benefit Year.

Performance
Lock and Early

Performance Lock allows you to capture the

an Index Option. Performance Lock can help
eliminate doubt about future Index performance
and possibly limit the impact of negative
performance. Early Reallocation allows you to
transfer all assets out of a locked Index Option
on days other than an Index Anniversary, or a
Term End Date.
A Performance Lock example is included in

• Available during the Accumulation Phase.
Only available during the Annuity Phase if

your Income Payments to Annuity Payments
on the maximum Annuity Date.
• Performance Locks must be executed
before the Term End Date.
• If a Performance Lock is executed, the
locked Index Option will no longer participate
in Index performance (positive or negative)
for the remainder of the Term, and will not
receive a Performance Credit on the Term
End Date.
• You will not know your locked Index Option
Value in advance.
• The locked Index Option Value will reflect a
Daily Adjustment.
• If a Performance Lock is executed when the
Daily Adjustment has declined, it will lock in
any loss.
• A Performance Lock can be executed only

Buying the Contract
Purchase Requirements
To purchase this Contract, on the Issue Date, all Owners (or the Annuitant if the
Owner is a non-individual) must be:
●
age 80 or younger, or
●
age 75 or younger if you select the Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit.
The Purchase Payment requirements for this Contract are as follows.
●
The minimum initial Purchase Payment due on the Issue Date is $5,000.
●
We restrict additional Purchase Payments. Each Index Year during the Accumulation Phase and before the Income Benefit Date, you cannot add more than your initial amount without our prior approval.
Your initial amount is the total of all Purchase Payments received before the first Quarterly Contract Anniversary
of the first Contract Year. We allow you to add up to the initial amount in the remainder of the first Index Year. The
minimum additional Purchase Payment we will accept is $50.
●
We do not accept additional Purchase Payments on or after the Income Benefit Date,
or on or after the Annuity Date.
●
The maximum total Purchase Payments we accept without our prior approval is $3 million.
We may, at our sole discretion, waive the minimum Purchase Payment requirements.
Once we receive your initial Purchase Payment and all necessary information in Good
Order at our Service Center, we issue the Contract within two Business Days. If the Issue Date is the same as the
Index Effective Date, we allocate your initial Purchase Payment to the Index Options. If the Issue Date is not the Index
Effective Date, we hold your initial Purchase Payment in the Variable Option before we transfer it to your selected Index
Options. If you do not give us all the information we need, we contact you or your Financial Professional. If for some reason
we are unable to complete this process within five Business Days, we either send back your Purchase Payment or get
your permission to keep it until we get all the necessary information. If you make additional Purchase Payments, we add
this money to your Contract on the Business Day we receive it in Good Order.
If you submit a Purchase Payment and/or application to your Financial Professional,
we do not begin processing the payment and/or application until we receive it.
We may terminate your ability to make additional Purchase Payments because we reserve
the right to decline any or all Purchase Payments at any time on a nondiscriminatory basis. This applies to Contracts issued in all states except as disclosed in Appendix G. If mandated under applicable law, we may be required to
reject a Purchase Payment. We will decline a Purchase Payment we receive on the same Business Day that we receive in
Good Order a request for full withdrawal, or Contract cancellation during the free look period. If we exercise our right to decline additional Purchase Payments, this may limit your ability to fund your Contract’s benefits such as the Income Benefit, Legacy+TM Income Benefit, Traditional Death Benefit, or Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit.
Index Advantage Income ADV® Annuity Prospectus – September 25, 2026

Making Withdrawals: Accessing the Money In Your Contract
Your Contract Value is available under the following circumstances:
●
by taking a withdrawal (including withdrawals under the free withdrawal privilege;
Income Payments, Excess Withdrawals, and Legacy Withdrawals; and, for Qualified Contracts only, RMD payments
under our minimum distribution program);
●
by taking Annuity Payments; or
●
when we pay a death benefit.
You can take withdrawals during the Accumulation Phase. However, Income Payments,
Excess Withdrawals, and Legacy Withdrawals are only available during the Income Period. We process withdrawal requests
based on values next determined after receipt of the request in Good Order at our Service Center. Values
are normally determined at the end of each Business Day. We process any withdrawal request received at or after the end
of the current Business Day using values determined on the next Business Day.
Any partial withdrawal must be for at least $100.* Before the Income Period, the Contract
Value after a partial withdrawal (including any MVA) must be at least $2,000.* During the Income Period, the Contract
Value after a partial Excess Withdrawal (including any MVA), or the Legacy Value after a partial Legacy Withdrawal
must be at least $2,000.* Any partial withdrawal that reduces the Contract Value or Legacy Value below these minimums
will be treated as a full withdrawal of the Cash Value, or Legacy Value if applicable. A full withdrawal will
cause the Contract and all of its benefits to end.
*
Does not apply to RMD payments under our minimum distribution program.
We deduct any partial withdrawal first from the AZL Government Money Market Fund,
then proportionately from each Index Option. Partial withdrawals deducted from the AZL Government Money Market Fund
do not include an MVA, but amounts withdrawn from the Index Options will include any applicable MVA. The Index
Option Value from which a partial withdrawal is deducted during a Term will include any applicable Daily Adjustment.
A partial or full withdrawal is subject to an MVA if taken within seven years after
we establish an Annual Contribution Amount, and if taken on a day other than a Term End Date we will calculate the Index
Option Value using the Daily Adjustment (which may be negative for the Index Dual Precision Strategy, Index Precision
Strategy, Index Guard Strategy, and Index Performance Strategy) before deducting the withdrawal. A partial withdrawal
is not subject to any Contract fees or expenses, but on a full withdrawal we do deduct any final product and rider fees,
and contract maintenance charge.
Partial withdrawals (including any MVA) reduce Contract Value and Cash Value dollar
for dollar, and reduce the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value proportionately. The reduction to Contract Value also
reduces the following which are based on Contract Value:
●
the initial annual maximum Income Payment;
●
the likelihood of receiving Income Payment Increases if the Level Income payment option
is selected, or receiving increases to the Maximum Anniversary Value if the Maximum Anniversary Value Death
Benefit is selected; and
●
RMD payments.
If a partial withdrawal is also an Excess Withdrawal or Legacy Withdrawal, it will
also reduce the annual maximum Income Payment on the next Index Anniversary. A full withdrawal of the Cash Value
(or Legacy Value, if applicable) will end the Contract and all its benefits.
See the Fee Tables and section 7, Expenses and Adjustments for a discussion of the
Contract fees, expenses, and MVA.
We pay withdrawals promptly, but in no event later than seven days after receipt of
your request in Good Order at our Service Center, unless the suspension of payments or transfers provision is in effect
(see the discussion later in this section).
Index Advantage Income ADV® Annuity Prospectus – September 25, 2026

|
● Withdrawals are subject to an MVA (which can be negative), income taxes, and may also
be subject to a 10%
additional federal tax for amounts withdrawn before age 59 1∕2. The amount of Contract Value available for
withdrawal may also be affected by the Daily Adjustment (which can be negative).
|
|
● Joint Owners: We send each Joint Owner a check for half of the withdrawal amount, and we tax report
to each Joint
Owner individually. Tax reporting to each Joint Owner individually can create a discrepancy in taxation
if only
one Joint Owner is under age 59 1∕2 because that Joint Owner may be subject to the 10% additional federal tax.
|
|
● We may be required to provide information about you or your Contract to government
regulators. We may also be
required to stop Contract disbursements and thereby refuse any transfer requests and
refuse to pay any withdrawals
(including a full withdrawal), or death benefits until we receive instructions from
the appropriate regulator. If,
pursuant to SEC rules, the AZL Government Money Market Fund suspends payment of redemption
proceeds in
connection with a fund liquidation, we will delay payment of any transfer, full or
partial withdrawal, or death benefit
from the Variable Option until the Fund is liquidated.

Additional Information About Fees
The following tables describe the fees, expenses, and adjustments that you will pay
when buying, owning, and surrendering or making withdrawals from an Investment Option or from the Contract.
Please refer to your Contract specifications page for information about the specific fees you will pay
each year based on the options you have elected. These tables do not reflect any investment advisory fees you authorize your Financial Professional’s firm to receive from the Contract. If investment advisory fees were reflected, fees
and expenses would be higher.
This Contract has no transaction expenses that apply at the time you buy the Contract,
surrender or make withdrawals from the Contract, or transfer Contract Value between Investment Options.
However, state premium taxes may be deducted.
The tables below describe the Daily Adjustment and MVA that apply if all or a portion
of the Contract Value is removed from an Index Option before the end of a Term.

This table shows the maximum potential loss due to the application of the Daily Adjustment
(e.g., maximum loss could occur if there is a total distribution within a Term at a time when the Index price has declined to zero). The
Daily Adjustment could result in a loss beyond the protection of the 10%, 20%, or 30% Buffer; or -10% Floor. The Daily Adjustment applies if, before
the Term End Date, you take a full or partial withdrawal, you take Income Payments, you execute a Performance Lock, you annuitize the Contract,
we pay a death benefit, or we deduct Contract fees, expenses, or investment advisory fees you authorize your Financial Professional’s firm to receive from the Contract. The actual Daily Adjustment calculation is determined by a formula described in Appendix C.

(1)
This table shows the maximum potential loss due to the application of the MVA (e.g.,
maximum loss could occur if there is a distribution within seven Index Years of the establishment of an Annual Contribution Amount at a time
when the yield on corporate bonds is greater than what they were when the Annual Contribution Amount was established). The MVA applies if, within
seven Index Years of the establishment of an Annual Contribution Amount, you take a full or partial withdrawal, you take Income Payments,
you execute a Performance Lock, you annuitize the Contract, or we pay a death benefit. We do not apply an MVA to deductions for Contract
fees and expenses, or investment advisory fees you authorize your Financial Professional’s firm to receive from the Contract. See section 7, Expenses and Adjustments – Market Value Adjustment (MVA).
(2)
The Contract provides a free withdrawal privilege before the Income Period that allows
you to withdraw 10% of your total Annual Contribution Amounts annually without incurring an MVA, as discussed in section 8, Access to Your Money – Free Withdrawal Privilege.
(3)
The maximum total negative MVA is 10% of Contract Value if you take a full withdrawal,
begin Annuity Payments, or if we pay a death benefit. On a partial withdrawal, the maximum total negative MVA is 10% of the amount withdrawn.
The next table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay each year during
the time that you own the Contract (not including Fund fees and expenses). If you purchased the optional Maximum
Anniversary Value Death Benefit, you pay additional charges, as shown below.

Referred to as the “contract maintenance charge” in the Contract and elsewhere in this prospectus. Waived if the Contract Value is at least $100,000. During the Annuity Phase, we deduct the contract maintenance charge proportionately
from each Annuity Payment. See section 7, Expenses and Adjustments – Contract Maintenance Charge (Administrative Expenses).
(2)
Comprised of two charges referred to as the “product fee” and the “rider fee(s)" for your selected income benefit in the Contract and elsewhere in this prospectus. The product fee is 0.25%. The rider fee for the Income Benefit is
0.70%, and the total rider fee for the Legacy+TM Income Benefit is 1.55%. The total rider fee for the Legacy+TM Income Benefit includes a 0.70% fee for the income benefit and a 0.85% additional
rider fee for the Legacy+TM Benefit. See section 7, Expenses and Adjustments – Base Contract Expenses (Product and Rider Fees).
In addition to the fees described above, we may limit the amount you can earn on the
Index Options. This means your returns may be lower than the Index’s returns. In return for accepting a limit on Index gains, you will receive some protection from Index losses.
The next item shows the total operating expenses charged by the Fund that you may
pay periodically during the time that you own the Contract. Expenses shown may change over time and may be higher
or lower in the future. More information about the Fund, including its annual expenses, may be found in Appendix A – Investment Options Available Under the Contract.

Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Variable
Option with the cost of investing in other annuity contracts that offer variable options. These costs include transaction
expenses, annual Contract expenses, and annual Fund expenses.
The Example assumes all Contract Value is allocated to the Variable Option, even though
you cannot instruct us to allocate Purchase Payments to the Variable Option. The Example does not reflect the
Daily Adjustment or MVA. It also does not reflect any investment advisory fees that you authorize your Financial Professional’s firm to receive from the Contract. If investment advisory fees were reflected, costs would be higher.
Your costs could differ from those shown below when you invest in the Index Options.
The Example assumes that you invest $100,000 in the Variable Option for the time periods
indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that you elected the
Legacy+TM Income Benefit. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your
costs would be:

|
1 Year
|
3 Years
|

|
10 Years

Index Options
The following is a list of Index Options currently available under the Contract. We
may change certain features of the Index Options listed below (including the Index and the current limits on Index gains),
offer new Index Options, and close Index Options to new Purchase Payments and transfers. We will provide you with written
notice before making any changes other than changes to current limits on Index gains. Information about current
limits on Index gains is available at https://www.allianzlife.com/RILAincomeadvrates. During the Income Period of your selected income benefit, you may not be able to invest in certain Index Options, as noted below.
Note: If amounts are removed from an Index Option before the Term End Date, we will
apply a Daily Adjustment. Except for Index Options under the Index Protection Strategy with Trigger and Index
Protection Strategy with Cap, this may result in a significant reduction in your Contract Value that could
exceed any protection from Index loss that would be in place if such amounts were not removed from the Index Option
until the Term End Date. The Index Protection Strategy with Trigger and Index Protection Strategy with Cap are
unique in that the Daily Adjustment for them cannot be negative.

(1)
This Index is a “price return index,” not a “total return index,” and therefore does not reflect the dividends paid on the securities composing the Index, which will reduce the Index Return and may cause the Index to underperform
a direct investment in the securities composing the Index. For the EURO STOXX 50®, this Index is a euro “price return index” and Index Returns are determined without any exchange rate adjustment.
(2)
This Index is an ETF. Index Values are based on the ETF’s closing share price. Index performance is calculated on a “price return” basis, not a “total return” basis, and therefore does not reflect the dividends paid on the securities in which the ETF invests. In addition, an ETF deducts fees and costs, which reduce Index performance. These factors will reduce the Index Return and may
cause the Index to underperform a direct investment in the ETF or the securities in which the ETF invests.
(3)
May be uncapped for a Term.
The current limit on Index loss for an Index Option will not change for the life of
that Index Option. However, we reserve the right to add new Index Options, as well as close Index Options to new
Purchase Payments and transfers. As such, the limits on Index loss offered under the Contract may change from one Term
to the next if we add an Index Option or discontinue accepting new allocations into an Index Option.
If we offer a new Index Option with a Buffer or Floor in the future, the Buffer or
Floor will be no lower than 5% or -25%, respectively. The lowest Trigger Rate, Cap, and Participation Rate that we may
establish if we add a new Index Option to the Contract are 0.05%, 0.05%, and 5.00%, respectively.
At least one Index Option with a Buffer no lower than 5% or Floor no lower than -25%,
or an Index Option that provides complete protection from Index losses, will always be available for renewal
under the Contract.
