Key Features

Guaranteed Interest Rates

Fixed rates vary by period; no market risk

Your interest rate is locked in for your entire guarantee period (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 years) and does not change based on market conditions

Tax-Deferred Growth

Can significantly increase account value over time versus taxable investments

Your earnings compound without annual tax liability, allowing faster accumulation. Taxes are only due when you withdraw funds.

Penalty-Free Withdrawals

10% annual access penalty-free

You can withdraw up to 10% of your account value annually starting in year two without surrender charges or market value adjustments

Surrender Charges

Charges reset if you renew into a new guarantee period

Early withdrawals beyond the 10% penalty-free amount incur a surrender charge that decreases over time (starting at 7%, declining to 0.75% by year 10)

Multiple Guarantee Periods

Flexible terms from 1-10 years

Choose from 1 to 10 year guarantee periods to match your retirement timeline and goals

Lifetime Income Option

Income you cannot outlive

Annuitize your account to receive guaranteed income payments for life, with various payout options including joint life and period-certain guarantees

Renewal Feature

Seamless renewal with current market rates (not available in Delaware)

30 days before your guarantee period ends, you can renew for another period at current competitive rates with a 30-day window free from surrender charges

Death Benefit

Equal to account value at death

Your named beneficiary receives your account value as a lump sum or income payments, bypassing probate

Nursing Home Care Rider

Full liquidity with no surrender charge (not available in Massachusetts)

If confined to a nursing home for 90+ continuous days after owning the contract for at least one year, you can withdraw funds penalty-free to cover care expenses

Terminal Illness Rider

Full liquidity for critical health needs (owner must be age 70 or under and contract in force 1+ year)

If you're diagnosed with a critical illness (heart attack, stroke, life-threatening cancer) or deemed terminally ill, you can access funds penalty-free to cover expenses

Highlights

1

Guaranteed fixed interest rates for your chosen guarantee period (1-10 years) with no market risk to your principal

2

Tax-deferred growth means your money grows faster since you earn interest on dollars that would otherwise be taxed immediately

3

Flexible penalty-free withdrawals of up to 10% annually starting in year two, plus additional liquidity riders for nursing home care and critical illness

4

Multiple guarantee period options let you align the contract with your specific retirement timeline and goals
