WealthQuest Citadel 7 Diamond
The WealthQuest Citadel 7 Diamond annuity offers a flexible approach to retirement planning. With an initial contribution as low as $5,000 or $2,000 for non-qualified and qualified funds respectively, the product offers a manageable entry point. Plus, additional premium payments can be made on a scheduled basis or whenever funds are available, adding levels of flexibility hard to find elsewhere. The best part? These premium payments may receive a 2% interest rate enhancement within the first 36 months, meaning your money works harder for you.
Accessing your funds is simple too. You can withdraw up to 10% of your annuity value free of surrender charges each year. Even better, full withdrawals and partial withdrawals are straightforward, providing security and accessibility when you need it. As an added advantage, the WealthQuest Citadel 7 Diamond waives all surrender charges in the event of disability, death or entrance into a nursing or care home, providing reassurance during difficult times. Retiring should feel like a reward, not a puzzle, and this product seems to understand that well.

All premium payments made within the first 36 months of issuance of the contract may receive a 2% interest rate enhancement above the current declared interest rate for the first year.
Starting in the first contract year, you can withdraw up to 10% of your annuity value as of the beginning of your annuity’s contract year, free of any surrender charges.
Full Withdrawal
You may surrender the contract for the full surrender value, which will terminate the contract upon payment.

Systematic Withdrawals
You can also make systematic payments for a fixed amount or interest only payments on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis. (Fixed amount payments can be as low as $50.00 if directly deposited.) The systematic withdrawal feature may also be used for mandatory distributions on IRA policies once you reach age 70½.
