About Product
Optional Strategy Charge
Higher Cap and Participation Rates are available with a strategy charge. Annual Strategy Charges are calculated on the contract anniversary and deducted monthly from the Accumulated Value.
Strategy Charge Credit
A one-time Strategy Charge Credit will be added to the Accumulated Value at the end of the Withdrawal Charge Period, if the sum of all strategy charges applied, minus the sum of all interest credits, is greater than zero.
Strategy Preset
Strategy Preset is a unique “hands-free” option designed to:
- harness diversification potential through broad index exposure
- allow for personalization through preset options that best meet your return profile
- automatically allocate your premium to a predetermined blend of index strategies
- automatically rebalance each year to target that blend over time

Waivers
Terminal Illness
Unavailable in states: CA
You can withdraw up to 100% of your annuity’s Accumulated Value if you’re diagnosed with a Terminal Illness that is expected to result in death within one year and you meet the eligibility requirements. This waiver is available after your first Contract Anniversary. You may not be diagnosed during the first Contract Year.
Confinement
Unavailable in states: CA, and MA
After the first Contract Year, you can withdraw up to 100% of your annuity’s Accumulated Value if you’ve been confined to a Qualified Care facility for at least 60 consecutive days and meet the eligibility requirements. You cannot be confined at the time the contract is issued, and confinement must begin at least one year after the Contract Date.
Premium Notes
Minimum — $10,000 ($5,000 in CT, ID, MN, NJ, OH, OR, PA, UT, WA)
Withdrawal Provisions
After the seventh (7th) Contract Year, you may annuitize your Contract and begin receiving periodic payments. You may not annuitize your Contract prior to the end of the 7th Contract Year. The following Options are available, based on the Contract's Accumulated Value:
- Life Annuity;
- Life Annuity with Guaranteed Period;
- Installment Refund Life Annuity;
- Joint and Last Survivor Annuity;
- Fixed Period Annuity of at least 7 years.
Enhanced Annuitization
After the seventh contract year, you may elect to surrender your contract and apply the Accumulated Value to one of five settlement options. No Withdrawal Charges, Premium Bonus Vesting Adjustments or Market Value Adjustments will apply upon election of this feature, provided one of the Settlement Options is elected and annuity payments commence.
Each year, you may withdraw up to the maximum free amount of your annuity’s Accumulated Value (as of the most recent Contract Anniversary) without a Withdrawal Charge, Market Value Adjustment (MVA) or any Premium Bonus Vesting Adjustment, if applicable.
Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) are IRS mandatory withdrawals required with qualified contracts (such as an IRA). These withdrawals from your annuity contract are considered part of your free withdrawal, free of Withdrawal Charges, MVA or Premium Bonus Vesting Adjustment for the Contract Year.
Enhanced Free Withdrawals
On Performance Elite 10, the penalty-free withdrawal amount is increased to 10% per year and may be taken as early as the first Contract Year. If no withdrawals are taken in a given year, up to 20% of the Accumulated Value is available for withdrawal in the next year.
Market Value Adjustment (MVA)
A Market Value Adjustment applies to withdrawals in excess of the free withdrawal amount and full surrenders during the Withdrawal Charge period. If you take an excess withdrawal before the end of your Withdrawal Charge period, an MVA will be applied to that excess withdrawal. The MVA may increase or decrease the amount of the Withdrawal or Cash Surrender Value of your Contract depending on the change in interest rates. If interest rates have increased, stayed the same or decreased by less than 0.25%, the MVA will be negative. If interest rates have decreased by more than 0.25%, the MVA will be positive. MVA is not applicable in all states.
