- If any amount is allocated to the Fixed Interest Option, you must populate the credited interest rate of the Fixed Interest Option in the designated field.

- You can use “N/A” in the designated field; OR
- You can leave the Fixed Interest Option field blank.
- You should not populate the Fixed Interest Option crediting rate if you are allocating nothing to that option. This would have the potential to mislead the client into thinking the MGIR is greater than what is actually available under the Indexed Options to which he/she is allocated.
