Market Value Adjustment (MVA)
During each Multi-Year Interest Rate Guarantee Period, any amount surrendered is subject to a Market Value Adjustment (MVA). The MVA may increase or decrease the amounts payable. Generally, if interest rates rise after the beginning of the current Multi-Year Interest Rate Guarantee Period, the MVA will decrease benefits; if interest rates fall, the MVA will increase benefits. The MVA is waived for the amount of any benefit for which Surrender Charges are waived.
Death Benefit
Prior withdrawals reduce benefit amounts. The Cash Surrender Value will be paid as a lump sum or via any of the other annuitization options available to the designated beneficiary(s) (unless the spouse was named as joint owner, in which case the policy and its provisions may continue).
Optional Death benefit riders are available at an additional cost.
