10% Penalty-Free Withdrawal Privilege
Beginning in the first contract year, you may take multiple withdrawals ($250 minimum amount) of up to 10% of the contract value, as of the previous anniversary, with no withdrawal charge or market value adjustment (MVA). If a withdrawal occurs in the first contract year, the withdrawal amount is based on the total eligible premiums received at the time of the withdrawal.
Other Penalty-Free Withdrawals
- Withdrawals made to satisfy RMDs for amounts held within the contract
- Withdrawals up to the guaranteed lifetime income amount (GLIA) after lifetime income withdrawals have begun
Withdrawals above the penalty-free withdrawal amount during the first five contract years may be increased or decreased by an MVA. The MVA is based on a formula designed to react to changes in interest rates at the time of a withdrawal. Generally, if interest rates have risen since the contract issue date, the MVA will decrease the amount you will receive, subject to certain limits. If interest rates have fallen, the MVA will increase the amount you will receive, up to a maximum percentage.
An MVA will apply to:
- Withdrawals above the penalty-free withdrawal amount made during the initial interest rate guarantee term.
- Withdrawals less than or equal to the GLIA after income withdrawals begin
- 10% penalty-free withdrawals or other penalty-free withdrawals
- Death benefit
- Annuitization
- Permitted RMDs
- The minimum withdrawal value under the contract
