The NYSE® Expanded OpportunitiesTM Index is a proprietary index available with the Transamerica Secure Retirement Index® II Annuity. This global, multi-asset index is based on a methodology designed by Morgan Stanley Investment Management and accesses broad and diverse asset classes in equities, fixed income, and alternative asset classes. It leverages their proprietary quantitative analysis to make daily asset allocations based on short-term forecast calculations and maintains a 5% daily volatility target. This may help limit overall volatility and reduce the effects of significant market downturns during periods of high market volatility, providing policy owners with the opportunity for smoother performance and better risk adjusted returns. Efforts to control the effects of market fluctuations could limit your participation in market gains, which may conflict with your investment objectives by limiting your ability to maximize potential growth of your policy value.
