Fixed index annuity review and rates

Power 10 Protector Plus Income

The Power 10 Protector  Plus Index Annuity offers you a valuable combination of growth potential, tax deferral, and principal protection from market downturns. This blend of accumulation and protection features may be the solution to achieving the retirement you envision. 
  • The Lifetime Income Choice is automatically included at contract issue in select Power Series Index Annuities for an annual fee of 1.1% of the Income Base.  Max Income or Level Income must be elected at contract issue and cannot be changed after the election. 
  • The GLB rider provides you with a choice of two-income options. The option you choose depends upon whether you want to generate higher income early in retirement (see Max Income below) or maintain a more consistent stream of payments (see Level Income below). The applicable withdrawal percentage when you activate income is the maximum annual withdrawal percentage maximum annual withdrawal amount; and when your contract value is reduced to zero, the applicable income payment percentage guaranteed for life is the protected income payments payment percentage. The annual withdrawal amount and Projected income payment percentage are based on which income option you elect, your choice of single life or joint life, and the age of the covered person when you activate Lifetime Income (the younger of two covered persons if joint lives).
  • Level Income Option: The maximum annual withdrawal amount and the Projected Income Payment Percentage used to calculate your Lifetime Income will be the same. This means that if your contract value is reduced to zero, your Lifetime Income amount will not change, assuming no Excess Withdrawals.
  • Max Income Option: The Maximum withdrawal Amount will be higher than the  Projected Income Payment Percentage. This means that your initial Lifetime Income withdrawals will be higher than under the Level Income option, but only until the contract value is reduced to zero. At that time the Projected Income Payment Percentage, a lower percentage, will be used to calculate your Lifetime Income payments. The Max Income option helps you optimize income during the early years of retirement when spending tends to be the highest. With high initial withdrawal rates of up to 7.25%, you'll need less money to generate the income you want for your financial future than with comparable products with lower withdrawal rates.
  • Should your contract value become depleted, you're guaranteed to receive the Protected Income Payment Percentage of up to 4.00% for life.
Important Note: Max Income does not mean that you would receive more income than under the Level Income option over the life of the contract; it refers to the higher payments upon activation. Also, under both options, Excess Withdrawals will reduce income; and if they reduce the contract value to zero, the contract and the benefit will terminate.
