Getting money out
What it costs to leave early, and what you can take without a charge.
Surrender charge · 4-year version
Charged on withdrawals above the free amount. A market value adjustment can also raise or lower proceeds during the surrender period when it applies.

How to think about this contract
Editorial interpretation stays separate from the contract data above.
Where it stands out
- The four-year guarantee period and surrender period align, giving buyers one clear commitment window.
- The contract includes an annual free-withdrawal allowance plus nursing-home and terminal-illness surrender waivers.
- Single and joint ownership and annuitization choices are available for qualified and non-qualified money.
What to confirm
- This product publishes one guarantee term, so buyers wanting a different time horizon need another contract.
- Withdrawals above the available allowance during the surrender period can face both a surrender charge and a market-value adjustment.
- The standard death benefit is based on contract value rather than an enhanced legacy benefit.
