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
You still have the potential to earn interest credits every year and can help optimize performance through the additional use of longer crediting terms and/ or strategy charges.

Withdrawal Provisions
Free Withdrawals
Required Minimum Distributions (Year 1+) are free withdrawals.
Required Minimum Distributions (Year 1+) are free withdrawals.
After the first Contract Year, the Free Withdrawal amount is equal to 5% of the Accumulated Value as of the Contract Anniversary on the first day of that Contract Year. If you withdraw less than the Free Withdrawal amount in any Contract Year, your Free Withdrawal amount in future Contract Years will not be increased.
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.
