You may withdraw up to 10% each year without a penalty. Not available until the beginning of the second contract year. Withdrawals of interest prior to age 59 ½ may be subject to a 10% Federal income tax penalty. Withdrawals in excess of the 10% free withdrawal may be subject to contract surrender charges. We provide free withdrawals for customers meeting their IRS-mandated Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) and a Guaranteed Death Benefit that allows a full account withdrawal without surrender charges in the event of a policyholder’s death.
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”, 0.60% ending balance payable at the end of the guarantee period if no withdrawals other than Required Minimum Distribution. (Customers are rewarded for not making any withdrawals during the term.)
