Highlights

Brighthouse Shield's Level Select 6-Year Annuity is a long-term contract intended for retirement or other long-term investment purposes. It uses a portion of retirement assets to help take advantage of market growth opportunities with the assurance of a level of downside protection other investment options may not provide. A Shield annuity is an index-linked annuity that doesn't invest directly in the chosen index or indices, but rather tracks their performance.

Premium Notes

Notes: 
  • TSP funds have to be rolled into an IRA.
  • If a NQ contract has already been stretched, we would not allow for a beneficiary to continue the payments or “inherit” the contract.
  • We will issue Inherited IRAs allowing for the Life Expectancy IRS exception (stretch) for Eligible Designated Beneficiaries (i.e., normal IRA stretch rules). This includes spouses and beneficiaries no more than 10 years younger than the original IRA owner

Withdrawal Provisions

Free Withdrawal
After the first contract year, the Free Withdrawal Amount is equal to 10% of the account value as of the prior contract anniversary. In addition, there are other situations where a withdrawal charge may not apply.

Automated Withdrawals
A scheduled stream of monthly, quarterly, or annual withdrawals that may be taken from specified Shield Options and/or the Fixed Account, or proportionally from all Shield Options and the Fixed Account, as allocated. Automated required minimum distributions (RMDs) are available in any contract year. Automated withdrawals for purposes other than RMDs are available after the first contract year and may be subject to withdrawal charges if they exceed the Free Withdrawal Amount in a contract year. Other restrictions apply.
