GLWB lifetime payout rate

6.05% lifetime payout + 10% roll-up

A ten-year-surrender fixed indexed annuity from an A-minus-rated Talcott Financial Group carrier with a real optional GLWB rider in two flavors (Early Path with a day-one income-base bonus, Future Path with a longer tiered roll-up), built for guaranteed lifetime income rather than the highest possible accumulation cap.

0.85% annual rider feeRMD-friendly income ridersAdvisorWorld + CANNEX data

Best fit

Buyers who want guaranteed lifetime income via a real, optional GLWB rider on a ten-year-surrender chassis, plan to defer long enough for the roll-up to compound the withdrawal base, are comfortable paying an explicit rider fee charged against the income base, and want a choice between a day-one income-base bonus (Early Path) and a longer high-rate roll-up window (Future Path).

Product analyst notes

How to think about this contract

Why it can stand out

  • Lifetime income comes via a real optional GLWB rider in two distinct flavors — an Early Path option that pairs a fixed roll-up on the withdrawal base with a one-time income premium bonus credited at issue, and a Future Path option that runs a tiered roll-up over a longer accumulation window — so buyers can pick the income mechanism that matches their deferral horizon and tolerance for rider-fee drag.
  • The Early Path variant credits a meaningful one-time premium bonus directly to the withdrawal base at issue, lifting the income base used to compute lifetime payout from the contract start without requiring deferral to capture the boost.
  • Both single-life and joint-life annuitization options are available on the base contract, and both non-qualified and qualified funds are accepted, so couples planning joint-life income and buyers using IRA money both fit the contract's accepted-funds envelope. The GLWB rider is RMD-friendly on the live feed.
  • Annual free-withdrawal allowance and a smoothly declining ten-year surrender ladder are shown alongside three carrier surrender-charge waivers (nursing home, terminal illness, RMD), so penalty-free liquidity events and the conditions that suspend the schedule entirely are both visible up front.

What to confirm

  • The GLWB rider carries an explicit annual fee charged against the income base, not the account value — effective cost can run higher than the headline fee rate once the income base outgrows the account value through the roll-up, so model the rider through deferral before committing.
  • The S&P 500 annual point-to-point cap on this contract is materially lower than the no-rider sibling EverGuard Aspire on the identical index — accumulation buyers who do not need the GLWB should compare the sibling, because crediting capacity here is reallocated to fund the income rider regardless of whether the buyer elects it.
  • The ten-year surrender term is at the long end of the FIA market, the year-one surrender charge is at the top of the schedule, and a market-value adjustment can sit on top of the surrender charge in a rising-rate environment — an unplanned exit in the first five years is materially expensive even with the GLWB rider in place.
  • The two GLWB options behave differently and are not directly interchangeable — the Early Path roll-up rate is lower but the contract opens with a meaningful income-base bonus, while the Future Path roll-up is higher in the early window with no day-one bonus, then steps down to a lower roll-up rate for the rest of the accumulation window. Pick the right option for the deferral horizon and document the choice; switching after issue is not a feature this contract offers. The product is also not available in California, Florida, or New York.

Not ideal for

Buyers focused on maximum accumulation cap — the no-rider sibling EverGuard Aspire credits materially higher on the same S&P 500 strategy. Also not for buyers who want a Protected Income Value chassis with no rider fee, buyers who need short-surrender liquidity, buyers who want a death-benefit roll-up beyond the standard contract value, or buyers residing in California, Florida, or New York — this contract is not available in those three states.

Common questions about EverGuard Assurance 10

● Can I lose money in EverGuard Assurance 10?

A negative index return by itself does not reduce the contract's account value: EverGuard Assurance 10 credits 0% — the floor — for that indexed period. The account value can still decrease from the published rider fee, withdrawals, surrender charges, 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 Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Rider - Option 1: Early Path income rider worth the 0.85% 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 6.05% 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 scheduled surrender charges run 10 years; after that the surrender-charge schedule ends. Bonus vesting, market value adjustments when applicable, and other contract rules can still affect the amount available. The Liquidity tab of the analyzer shows the year-by-year surrender charge.

● How do EverGuard Assurance 10's crediting strategies compare?

Use "Compare against" in the analyzer to overlay another available EverGuard Assurance 10 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

EverGuard Assurance 10 currently shows 18 distinct indexed or fixed crediting choices across 19 displayed rate entries, including S&P 500 Index and Fixed Account, with 13 volatility-controlled index options grouped separately. These choices matter because caps, participation rates, fixed accounts, spreads, and renewal terms are different mechanics and should not be ranked as one simple rate list.

  • S&P 500 Index: 4.5% annual cap, 0% annual strategy fee
  • S&P 500 Index: 5% annual cap, Model 2: Equity Focused (EF) — 30% allocation, 0% annual strategy fee
  • S&P 500 Index: 4.5% annual cap
  • Fixed Account: 2% fixed account rate, 0% annual strategy fee

Income rider language

What to look for before treating the rider as income

Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Rider - Option 1: Early Path is the main income rider listed 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.

  • 6.05% withdrawal rate
  • 0.85% rider fee
  • RMD friendly

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
  • Terminal illness waiver
