Income Options
- Life annuity—A monthly income payable over the annuitant’s lifetime.
- Life annuity with payments certain—A monthly income payable over the annuitant’s lifetime with the additional guarantee that in the event of death prior to the end of the specified period (such as 5, 10 or as long as 20 years), payments will continue to your designated beneficiary for the remainder of the specified period.
- Designated period annuity—A monthly income payable in equal installments for a specified period (such as 5, 10 or as long as 20 years).
- Joint and last survivor annuity—A monthly income payable over the lifetime of an annuitant and thereafter during the lifetime of a designated surviving annuitant.
Death Benefit
Your annuity contract’s death benefit is payable to your beneficiary upon your death. If you are also the annuitant, then your policy’s death benefit will be equal to the annuity’s value. If the annuitant is someone other than you, the policy’s death benefit is equal to the annuity value less any applicable surrender charges.
Market Value Adjustment
A market value adjustment occurs when you make early withdrawals from your annuity exceeding the penalty-free amount or request a full surrender of your annuity within the first five years of your contract. A market value adjustment increases or decreases your annuity value based on the difference between current interest rates and the interest rate in effect when your contract was issued. If current interest rates are more than 0.5% lower than the base interest rate of your contract, your annuity value will receive a positive adjustment should you decide to make an early withdrawal where the market value adjustment applies. If current rates are higher than the base interest rate, your annuity value will receive a negative adjustment. However, your annuity value will never be less than the premium you paid, minus any withdrawals accumulated at the minimum guaranteed interest rate, less surrender charges.
