Symetra Edge Elite is a single-premium fixed indexed annuity. Edge Elite offers potential to take your retirement to a higher level. Growth potential based on the JPMorgan ETF Efficiente 5 Index, the Putnam Dynamic Low Volatility Excess Return Index and the S&P 500 Index.
Our enhanced accounts offer higher participation rates in exchange for an annual charge. With higher participation rates, your accounts have potential to grow at a higher rate than our other account options.

Guardrail
Enhanced accounts are available for renewal or transfer as long as your contract value is greater than 97% of your purchase payment (less any withdrawals). This helps protect your contract value from declining due to the charge if the index does not experience positive growth.
If the contract value drops below the 97% threshold, any amount allocated to these accounts will be automatically transferred to the traditional indexed account with the same index, but without a charge. If the traditional indexed account is not available, the amount will be transferred to the fixed account. Once the contract value returns to an amount above the 97% threshold, the enhanced accounts will again be available for allocations at the end of the interest term after any interest is credited upon request.
