About Product
Performance Rate Rider
More options for magnified growth potential. In exchange for a fee, this rider provides the opportunity to increase the cap, participation rate, or replacement rate on elected index-linked crediting strategies. The rider fee is locked-in for the surrender charge schedule and deducted on the last day of each term.
Rider Charge - Account Fee
The rider charge is the amount deducted on the last day of each indexed strategy term from each indexed strategy to which the rider is applied. To calculate the rider charge, the rider fee (1.5% for monthly and annual point-to-point strategies and 3% for 2-year point to point strategies) is multiplied by the strategy value of the corresponding indexed strategy on the first day of each term. The rider fee will not change during the surrender charge period and will never be more than the maximum rider fee of 3%.
Please take note that the fee shown for the 2-year enhanced Indexed Crediting Strategies is applied every single year, which is 1.5% annually. Therefore, that is a biennial fee of 3.00% for the whole term as declared in the interest rates (Product fact sheets).
