Guaranteed rates by term

Effective annual rate is the apples-to-apples number. First-year and renewal figures stay beside it so the schedule is never hidden.

Published contract versions. The published rate sets share the same contract description. Numbered labels keep them separate without assigning an unconfirmed difference in benefits. Confirm the issued version and its withdrawal and return-of-premium provisions on a quote.

Rate figures use a $100,000 comparison premium and are scoped to the selected contract version. Term-end values are illustrative calculations using the published rate and crediting convention with no withdrawals. Market comparisons appear only when the same-day term distribution includes at least five comparable products.

Why 6.15% advertised becomes 4.55% earned

The first-year rate changes after year one. Follow a deposit through the complete guarantee term.

The calculator shows outcomes only when the entered premium matches a published rate band. No rate or ending value is inferred outside those bands.

How to think about this contract

Editorial interpretation stays separate from the contract data above.

Where it stands out

  • A choice of guarantee periods can help match the rate commitment to a planned spending date.
  • The multi-year options credit a higher first-year rate followed by a lower renewal rate; the full-term comparison shows both parts.
  • Nursing-home and terminal-illness waivers provide additional access when the contract conditions are met.

What to confirm

  • The rate guarantee can end before the surrender-charge period. A shorter rate term does not necessarily make the money available without a charge.
  • Contract versions have separate rate sets even when their descriptions match. Confirm the applicable version before comparing a quote.
  • A first-year rate is not the annual return for the entire guarantee period. Review the renewal rate and withdrawal conditions together.
Best fitBuyers who can hold through the applicable surrender period and want to compare the full-term result of a stepped-rate contract.
Not ideal forBuyers who need unrestricted access when a short rate guarantee ends, or expect the first-year rate to continue throughout the term.
