6.55% lifetime payout + 10% roll-up

An income-led fixed indexed annuity from A-plus-rated Midland National with four surrender-term variants, an optional LiveWell Income for Life GLWB rider, and a Return-of-Premium death benefit — positioned for the high-balance rollover market in 50 jurisdictions.

1.2% annual rider feeAdvisorWorld + CANNEX data

Best fit

Buyers with a six-figure deposit who are planning around lifetime income and want the flexibility to match the surrender chassis to their income-start date — a shorter chassis if income turns on soon, a longer chassis if deferral is the plan — and who value the Return-of-Premium death benefit alongside the GLWB rider.

Product analyst notes

How to think about this contract

Why it can stand out

  • Four surrender-term variants are filed under one product (the contract publishes a short, two mid-length, and a long surrender chassis), letting buyers match the surrender chassis to when they plan to turn income on — short for a buyer with a near-term income-start date, long for a buyer who can defer.
  • Income mechanism is concrete: an optional LiveWell Income for Life GLWB rider with documented lifetime withdrawal rates and a roll-up on the withdrawal base during deferral. The rider is RMD-friendly for qualified money.
  • A-plus rated carrier (A.M. Best) — Midland National is one of the larger fixed-annuity writers in the U.S.
  • Crediting menu pairs annual point-to-point caps on the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq-100 Volatility Control index with participation-rate strategies on the same and other proprietary indexes — the cap and participation rates step up as the surrender chassis gets longer, so the longer-term variants get the better crediting.
  • Death benefit is a Return of Premium guarantee ('LiveWell Legacy Protector') — unusual for an FIA in this rider-bearing tier; most income-led FIAs offer only the cash surrender value as the death benefit.
  • Annual penalty-free withdrawal allowance preserved alongside the income rider, with nursing-home and RMD surrender-charge waivers in the contract.

What to confirm

  • The GLWB rider carries an annual fee charged on the withdrawal base, not on the account value — effective cost runs higher than a flat percent of cash value once the base rolls up, and that drag compounds over the deferral years.
  • Premium minimum is published on the live feed and reflects a six-figure floor — this filing is positioned for the high-balance rollover market, not for smaller deposits.
  • Several index strategies use proprietary volatility-controlled indexes (Nasdaq-100 Volatility Control, S&P 500 Low Volatility Daily Risk Control, Fidelity Multifactor Yield). Their participation rates look high in absolute terms but are not directly comparable to an S&P 500 cap — evaluate each strategy on its own historical behavior.
  • Crediting rates vary by surrender variant — the longer chassis carries higher caps than the shorter chassis. Compare like-for-like by chassis length before deciding which variant fits.
  • Market value adjustment applies on early surrender on top of the surrender-charge ladder, which runs the full surrender window on the longest variant.
  • Filed in 50 jurisdictions (every state and DC except New York) — New York residents are not on this filing.

Not ideal for

Anyone shopping below the published premium minimum, anyone who wants pure tax-deferred accumulation without paying the rider fee, anyone who may need full liquidity inside the surrender window (MVA layers on top), and New York residents (not filed there).

Common questions about LiveWell Preferred Fixed Index Annuity

● Can I lose money in LiveWell Preferred Fixed Index Annuity?

A negative index return by itself does not reduce the contract's account value: LiveWell Preferred Fixed Index Annuity credits 0% — the floor — for that indexed period. The account value can still decrease from applicable rider fees, Performance Rate Rider or other strategy charges, administrative charges, withdrawals, surrender charges, or other contract-specific deductions. In years with no credited interest, those deductions can reduce the account value. Up to 10% of your value can be withdrawn each year without a charge; withdrawals above the penalty-free amount during the surrender period can incur a surrender charge.

● Is the LiveWell Income for Life income rider worth the 1.2% fee?

It depends on whether you will use the guaranteed income. If you are accumulating only, you can skip it. If you want guaranteed lifetime income later, the 10% roll-up and 6.55% withdrawal rate can make it worthwhile — model it in the Income tab of the analyzer above.

● When can I access my money without a surrender charge?

Up to 10% of your account value each year is penalty-free. The surrender period runs 10 years; after that you reach full liquidity. The Liquidity tab of the analyzer shows the year-by-year surrender charge.

● How do LiveWell Preferred Fixed Index Annuity's crediting strategies compare?

Use "Compare against" in the analyzer to overlay another current LiveWell Preferred Fixed Index Annuity strategy on the same premium, age, years, and hypothetical index path. The control labels the strategy type, rate, index, and context so caps, participation rates, triggers, spreads, and fixed-account choices are not treated as interchangeable.

Crediting design

How the interest-crediting choices are framed

LiveWell Preferred Fixed Index Annuity currently shows 75 distinct indexed or fixed crediting choices across 132 current rate listings, including S&P 500 Index, with 46 volatility-controlled index options grouped separately. These choices matter because caps, participation rates, fixed accounts, spreads, renewal terms, and fee-bearing rider variants are different mechanics and should not be ranked as one simple rate list.

  • S&P 500 Index: 9.25% annual cap
  • S&P 500 Index: 9.4% annual cap
  • S&P 500 Index: 9.45% annual cap
  • S&P 500 Index: 9.5% annual cap

Income rider language

What to look for before treating the rider as income

LiveWell Income for Life is the main income-rider entry returned for this product. Rider terms can affect the tradeoff between future lifetime withdrawals, contract value, beneficiary value, and cost, so the exact state version and rider election should be confirmed before comparing it to annuitization or income-only contracts.

  • 6.55% withdrawal rate
  • 1.2% rider fee

Liquidity terms

Why access rules deserve as much attention as rates

A fixed indexed annuity can preserve more control than an income-only contract, but access is still governed by the surrender schedule, free-withdrawal terms, and waiver language. Those details are where many product comparisons become more meaningful than a simple rate list.

  • 10%/yr free withdrawal
  • 10 surrender years
  • Nursing home waiver
  • RMD waiver

Verification note

Use carrier materials as term evidence, then confirm the current version

For the current brochure, rate sheet, or specimen contract, confirm the state-specific version with the carrier or a licensed financial professional.
