Time to Reflect on the Purchase
You may cancel and return your contract within 30 days after it is delivered to you. We will refund your premium after a cancellation, minus any withdrawals you’ve taken.
Required Minimum Distributions
You can schedule IRS required minimum distributions for tax-qualified plans without a surrender charge.
Market Value Adjustment
A market value adjustment applies to withdrawals or surrenders that are subject to a surrender charge. We base the adjustment on a formula that takes into account changes in the MVA Index at that time. We will waive the MVA when the surrender charge is waived. The MVA can increase or decrease the surrender value of the annuity. Generally, if interest rates have risen since the beginning of the current surrender-charge period, the MVA will decrease the surrender value. If interest rates have fallen, the MVA will generally increase the surrender value.
Death Benefits
Death benefit payments are available without a surrender charge.
Annuitization
You may convert your deferred annuity to a payment stream with The Standard at any time without a surrender charge. You must choose either a lifetime payment option or a certain period of at least five years.
Choice of Withdrawal Options
The unique feature of the Multi-Choice Annuity allows you to select an optional withdrawal provision that best meets your financial needs.
