Nationwide Secure Growth
The Nationwide Secure Growth annuity offers a smart blend of guaranteed growth and security that appeals to retirees. Not only is your principal and interest rate guaranteed, it also offers a regular stream of income that can be customized to your preferences. What's more, it's tax-deferred, offering potential higher gains. Best of all, it comes from a stable and trusted company, offering peace of mind.
Legacy planning is another great feature of the Nationwide Secure Growth. You can designate who gets the contract value if something happens to you. The funds are paid directly to your beneficiary, potentially bypassing a lengthy probate process. A small drawback is that early withdrawals attract charges, but that's common across many annuities. On balance, Nationwide Secure Growth annuity offers a rewarding mix of growth, security, and flexible income choice.

Any amount withdrawn in excess of the remaining free withdrawal amount is subject to a CDSC and MVA, if applicable. The MVA is an adjustment that may be applied if you make a partial withdrawal or fully surrender your contract before the end of the CDSC period. The MVA may be positive, negative or zero. If the MVA is negative, it could decrease the amount that you receive when you take a withdrawal or surrender. Conversely, if the MVA is positive, it could increase the amount you receive.
Return of Purchase Payment Rider
Electing this optional rider guarantees the return of principal, minus previous withdrawals and applicable state premium taxes, when the entire contract value is surrendered during the CDSC period. The CDSC will be deducted from the interest earned, not principal. There is no fee for the rider, but the interest rate may be lower. The Return of Purchase Payment option is not available if a market value adjustment is elected.
Death benefit
Your death benefit will be the current contract value at the time of the annuitant’s death. The value is determined by adding all interest earned to your purchase payment minus any previous withdrawals.
