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.
