Highlights

The Protective Guaranteed Income Indexed Annuity is a limited flexible premium deferred indexed annuity. Limited flexible premium means that you may — but are not required to — send additional premium, but only during the first contract year.

Annuitization Options
All are available for single or joint life.
  • Lifetime income
  • Specific term (certain period)
  • Lifetime income with a specific term (certain period)
  • Lifetime income with a cash refund
  • Lifetime income with an installment refund (principal refund) 
Annuity income payments must begin before any owner or annuitant reaches age 95 and, generally, cannot be altered or surrendered once begun.

Minimum Surrender Value
minimum surrender value is guaranteed when the contract is terminated due to full surrender, death, or annuitization. This amount is calculated by:
  • Taking 87.5% of aggregate purchase payments accumulated at the contract’s non-forfeiture rate, which cannot be less than 1% or more than 3%, and
  • Subtracting any prior aggregate withdrawals accumulated at the non-forfeiture rate.

Premium Notes

Additional purchase payments are welcomed when initiated before the first contract anniversary and received before the oldest owner’s or annuitant’s 80th birthday. Additional purchase payments are applied to an interest bearing holding account and remain there until the next contract anniversary, and then allocated to the interest crediting strategies according to your instructions. 

Withdrawal Provisions

Penalty-Free Withdrawals
Even with a 10-year withdrawal schedule, you can withdraw 10% of your initial purchase payment during the first contract year with no withdrawal charge or market value adjustment. After the first year, you can withdraw 10% of the contract value as of the prior contract year anniversary annually, less any withdrawals in that contract year. Your contract value after each withdrawal must be at least $10,000. However, this minimum requirement doesn’t apply to the Guaranteed Income Benefit withdrawals.
