Market Value Adjustment (MVA)
Where applicable, MVA is applied on any withdrawals / full surrender in excess of the penalty free or RMD amount during the surrender period. In general, if interest rates (as measured by the index) have increased or have decreased by less than 0.25% (0% in states with no offset), an additional amount is deducted from the withdrawal. Conversely, if rates have fallen by 0.25% or more, an amount will be added to the withdrawal. See the contract for the MVA calculation.
Death Benefit
Remaining Account Value No MVA or Surrender Charge.
On transfers, take RMD at the current carrier to avoid chargeback and surrender charges in Year 1. 0.60% ending balance payable at the guarantee period if no withdrawals other than Required Minimum Distributions.
Enhanced Interest Credit is "first-year interest", 0.45% ending balance payable at the end of the guarantee period if no withdrawals other than Required Minimum Distribution.
