Highlights
The Security Benefit Strategic Growth Plus Annuity, issued by Security Benefit Life Insurance Company (SBL), is a modified single premium, deferred fixed index annuity contract which provides a combination of guarantees, bonus, flexible interest choices, and withdrawal options.
This annuity may be well suited for a consumer/individual who has a sum of money the consumer/ individual does not want to place in the market, yet would like the potential for accumulation without risk.
Rate Buy Up Feature - Account Fee
The Rate Buy Up Feature is available on each index crediting option. For a monthly charge, each Index Account using this feature in which the contract value is allocated, may provide the owner a higher interest credit rate through a higher cap, higher participation rate, and/or lower spread as applicable. At the end of the surrender charge period, if the total Buy Up Costs are greater than the total index interest credits (including non Buy Up Options), then the excess of the total Buy Up Costs over the total index interest credits will be credited to the contract’s Fixed Account. Please note: the refund of Buy Up Charges does not apply if an excess withdrawal is taken from the contract (an excess withdrawal is a withdrawal that exceeds the annual free withdrawal limit). Refer to the Rate Buy Up Feature Brochure for details.
