Key Features

Floating Rate Component

Automatically increases if rates rise, up to the specified cap

Your interest rate includes a fixed Guarantee Period Base Rate plus the 3 Month CME Term SOFR Reference Rate, which resets annually on your contract anniversary. The floating rate is capped and locked in for each year.

Guarantee Period Options

5-year or 7-year terms available

Choose either a 5-year or 7-year initial guarantee period during which your rate includes both the fixed base rate and floating rate components.

Principal Protection

100% principal guarantee

Security Benefit Life Insurance Company guarantees you will not lose your initial purchase payment, regardless of market conditions.

Tax-Deferred Growth

Taxes deferred until withdrawal

Interest compounds without annual taxation, allowing more money to work for you compared to taxable savings vehicles like CDs.

Free Annual Withdrawal

10% annual free withdrawal allowance

You can withdraw up to 10% of your initial premium in year one, and up to 10% of the prior anniversary account value each subsequent year without surrender charges.

Nursing Home Waiver

Available after 3rd year (state variations apply)

Surrender charges are waived if you need to withdraw funds after the 3rd contract anniversary and are confined to a nursing home or hospital for more than 90 days.

Terminal Illness Waiver

Available after 3rd year (state variations apply)

Surrender charges are waived for withdrawals after the 3rd contract anniversary if diagnosed with a terminal illness expected to result in death within one year.

Death Benefit

100% of account value (less premium tax if applicable)

Your account value passes directly to your named beneficiaries without probate, providing quick access and no additional expense.

Guaranteed Minimum Interest Rate (GMIR)

Varies by contract; see rate sheet for current GMIR

Your account is guaranteed to earn at least the GMIR, even if the floating rate component falls below zero, ensuring a floor on crediting.

Surrender Charge Schedule

Decreases from 9% to as low as 3% over the guarantee period

Early withdrawals beyond the 10% free amount incur surrender charges that decrease over time. 5-year plans: 9%, 8%, 7%, 6%, 5%. 7-year plans: 9%, 8%, 7%, 6%, 5%, 4%, 3%.
