A nine-year-surrender fixed indexed annuity from Nassau Life with a Family Protection Death Benefit distinct from the Standard Death Benefit on the rest of the Nassau FIA lineup, accumulation-focused crediting across the S&P 500 (annual and monthly cap), Nasdaq-100, and UBS Tactical Multi Asset participation designs, an annual free-withdrawal allowance, three surrender-charge waivers, and a B-grade A.M.

1-year termAdvisorWorld + CANNEX data

Best fit

Buyers prioritizing a legacy-oriented contract-level death benefit alongside accumulation-class crediting, comfortable with a multi-year surrender commitment, wanting choice between an S&P annual cap and monthly cap or a higher-participation alternative on the UBS Tactical Multi Asset benchmark, and accepting a B-grade A.M. Best carrier rating in exchange for the Family Protection Death Benefit on this filing.

Product analyst notes

How to think about this contract

Why it can stand out

  • Carries the Family Protection Death Benefit rather than the Standard Death Benefit found on every other Nassau Life FIA filing — buyers whose legacy planning is a primary driver get a distinct contract-level death-benefit feature on this filing that the other Nassau FIA chassis do not provide.
  • Crediting menu spans recognizable benchmark indexes (S&P 500, Nasdaq-100) alongside the UBS Tactical Multi Asset Index and Sunrise Adjustment participation designs, so a buyer can pick the mechanic that best fits their view — a clean S&P cap, a Nasdaq participation rate, or a higher-participation alternative on a proprietary volatility-controlled benchmark.
  • Both annual point-to-point and monthly point-to-point cap designs are available on the S&P 500, so a buyer can pick the crediting cadence that best fits their view of the index — annual for an all-or-nothing yearly call, monthly for a smoothed but capped path.
  • An annual free-withdrawal allowance plus three contract-level surrender-charge waivers (nursing home, RMD, terminal illness), and single or joint annuitization with both non-qualified and qualified funds accepted, so couples and IRA buyers are both inside the product's accepted-funds and payout-options envelope.

What to confirm

  • Carrier financial-strength on this filing carries a B-grade A.M. Best rating rather than the A-grade tier most large FIA issuers hold, and the page shows only a single agency view. Buyers prioritizing the strongest available carrier-credit profile should weigh that against the headline rate and the Family Protection Death Benefit across a multi-year commitment.
  • This contract has no guaranteed-lifetime-withdrawal rider attached — the live feed shows an empty income-rider list — and there is no built-in Protected Income Value. Do not compare its payout side-by-side with a rider-led income FIA; the contract is built for accumulation and legacy positioning, not for a guaranteed lifetime payout.
  • The Family Protection Death Benefit is a contract-level feature whose exact mechanics depend on contract terms, withdrawals, and rider elections — the page does not publish a guaranteed roll-up percentage. Buyers prioritizing legacy planning should request the specific mechanics from the carrier or producer before relying on the feature as a primary planning lever.
  • Filing is not available to residents of New York or Maine on this productId — Nassau Life offers separate NY-specific products. Surrender ladder runs nine years from a high single-digit year-one charge, there is no premium bonus on this filing, and the headline S&P 500 base cap is below the cap on the no-bonus Nassau Growth Annuity sibling chassis — buyers who want clean S&P accumulation crediting at the highest available Nassau cap and do not need the Family Protection Death Benefit should compare both filings before locking in.

Not ideal for

Buyers who need a contractually guaranteed GLWB-rider withdrawal rate or built-in Protected Income Value income, want the headline S&P cap of the no-bonus Nassau Growth Annuity sibling chassis and do not need the Family Protection Death Benefit, require an A-grade A.M. Best carrier rating, want a premium bonus, want a published guaranteed death-benefit roll-up percentage rather than a feature whose mechanics are contract-dependent, or live in New York or Maine — none of those are what this filing is built to deliver.

CFA take

“In my view, the Nassau Personal Protection Choice is less of a traditional accumulation-focused FIA and more of a retirement protection and income-planning product. The annuity is clearly built around its rider ecosystem, particularly the combination of lifetime income, long-term care enhancement, and legacy protection features. For retirees concerned about multiple retirement risks simultaneously — outliving income, healthcare expenses, and leaving assets to beneficiaries — the product offers a fairly comprehensive framework under a single contract. That said, the trade-off is lower accumulation potential. The indexing rates and participation structures are relatively conservative compared to many competing FIAs, which limits upside potential during stronger market periods. In addition, the product can become fairly complex once multiple riders are layered together, and the rider fees tied to the benefit base can gradually weigh on contract value over time. The insurer’s comparatively lower financial strength ratings may also matter for more conservative buyers who prioritize carrier quality alongside contractual guarantees. Overall, I would view Nassau Personal Protection Choice as best suited for conservative retirees who prioritize guaranteed income and protection-oriented retirement planning over maximizing long-term market-linked growth.”

Common questions about Nassau Personal Protection Choice

● Can I lose money in Nassau Personal Protection Choice?

A negative index return by itself does not reduce the contract's account value: Nassau Personal Protection Choice 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 Income and Family Protection Rider: Tomorrow income rider worth the 1.15% 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 14% roll-up and 4.33% withdrawal rate can make it worthwhile — model it in the Income tab of the analyzer above.

● How do Nassau Personal Protection Choice's crediting strategies compare?

Use "Compare against" in the analyzer to overlay another current Nassau Personal Protection Choice 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

Nassau Personal Protection Choice currently shows 48 distinct indexed or fixed crediting choices across 74 current rate listings, including S&P 500 Index, with 16 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: 5.5% annual cap
  • S&P 500 Index: 1.6% monthly point-to-point cap
  • S&P 500 Index: 6% annual point-to-point cap
  • S&P 500 Index: 1.75% monthly point-to-point cap

Income rider language

What to look for before treating the rider as income

Income and Family Protection Rider: Tomorrow 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.

  • 4.33% withdrawal rate
  • 1.15% 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
  • Nursing home waiver
  • RMD waiver
  • Terminal illness waiver

Verification note

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

Carrier materials such as A5107SP.pdf help explain the contract language behind the data on this page; the latest document activity we see is Apr 8, 2026. For the current brochure, rate sheet, or specimen contract, confirm the state-specific version with the carrier or a licensed financial professional.

  • Rates and rider terms can vary by state and issue age
  • Carrier guarantees depend on claims-paying ability
  • Current contract forms should be confirmed before purchase
