Premium Notes

Premium Amount
Your annuity’s compound growth potential begins with your purchase amount, known as a premium. You can choose the premium payment that best helps you achieve your financial goals. Your initial premium amount can be as low as $25,000 or as high as $2,000,000. ApexAdvantage is a modified single premium annuity. As such, it allows premium payments to be made only during the first policy year. During the first policy year, if you decide you’d like to contribute more money to your annuity, you may add additional premium payments of at least $5,000, not to exceed $2,000,000 in total premium.

Withdrawal Provisions

Market Value Adjustment
A market value adjustment (MVA) is a positive or negative adjustment made to your withdrawal or surrender amount in response to market conditions. When a surrender charge is assessed, an MVA will apply on the amount you access. An MVA does not apply to penalty-free withdrawal amounts or after the surrender charge period ends. The MVA is calculated based on a formula that tracks the interest rate environment since you purchased your annuity. The MVA may increase or decrease the amount of the withdrawal or surrender. The actual MVA amount may vary by state, and an MVA may not be applicable in all states. Ask your insurance professional about any MVA in your state.

Penalty-Free Withdrawals
Each year after the first policy anniversary, you may withdraw up to 10% of the accumulation value as of the beginning of the policy year without incurring a surrender charge or market value adjustment. You are free to use this liquidity feature to respond to life’s unexpected events or for any reason.
