Market Value Adjustment
A market value adjustment (MVA) will apply if you surrender your contract during the initial term. The MVA is calculated by comparing the interest rate environment when you purchase your contract to the environment when you choose to surrender your contract. The calculation also takes into account the time remaining in the initial term. An MVA can result in an increase to your surrender value during a period of decreasing rates, or a decrease to your surrender value during a period of increasing rates. The MVA will also apply to withdrawals in excess of the 10% free-withdrawal allowance during the initial term.
