Withdrawal Provisions

Free Withdrawals In each policy year during the surrender charge period, the client may withdraw up to 10% of the account value as of the last policy anniversary (10% of the premium payments if the withdrawal is made in the first policy year without a surrender charge). Market Value Adjustment (MVA) The New York Life IndexFlex Fixed Annuity–FP Series comes with a Market Value Adjustment (MVA) provision that allows NYLIAC to offer potentially higher interest crediting rates than a product that does not offer this adjustment. An MVA only applies when the policy owner surrenders or makes a withdrawal from the contract that is greater than the surrender chargefree withdrawal amount during the surrender charge period. An MVA is not applicable after the surrender charge period is over. The MVA will add or deduct an amount from your annuity, or from the withdrawal amount you receive. The amount of the MVA is determined by a formula that measures the change in the U.S. Treasury Constant Maturity yield, plus the applicable Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate Bond Index from the issue date to the surrender or excess withdrawal date.If the interest rates on which the MVA is based are higher than when you purchased the annuity, the MVA will likely be negative, meaning an additional amount may be deducted from either your annuity or your withdrawal amount. Conversely, if the interest rates on which the MVA is based are lower than when you purchased your annuity, the MVA will likely be positive, meaning money may be added to either your annuity or to your withdrawal amount. The applicable surrender charges may further reduce the accumulation value below the premium paid or the amount you receive when you make a partial withdrawal or fully surrender the policy.
