The NWL Ultra Future - Annuity is a flexible premium tax-deferred annuity that combines the safety, benefits, and features of traditional fixed interest deferred annuities while at the same time giving you the option of having your credited interest linked in part to the S&P 500 Composite Stock Index (which excludes dividends). Once credited, your gains are guaranteed for the life of the policy! 

At the end of the 9-year Contract Term, you may withdraw the full Contract Value without any withdrawal charges, take a partial withdrawal, or elect an income settlement option. 

You do have the right to keep the Account Value with National Western Life for the rest of your life where it will continue to earn interest at a rate not less than the Minimum Guaranteed Interest Rate that has been re-determined at the end of your Contract Term.
Available in states: DE, IL, IN, MA, MN, NJ, PA, UT, and WA
