The Symetra Income Edge is a single premium fixed indexed annuity with a 7 surrender charge period and a market value adjustment period. The Symetra Income Edge also offers a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefits (GLWBs) that, like annuitization, offer payments that can last a lifetime.

Before lifetime withdrawals begin, your Maximum Withdrawal Amount is guaranteed to grow each year for up to 10 years after issue. When you’re ready to begin lifetime withdrawals, you have two options:

Level withdrawals: A guaranteed, level amount for life.
Index-linked withdrawals: Guaranteed withdrawals for life with potential for increases each year.

Withdrawal Provisions

Free Withdrawals

Prior to Lifetime Withdrawals the Symetra Income Edge allows for a withdrawal of up to 10% of your contract value each contract year without having to pay any surrender charges or market value adjustments. If you withdraw more than 10% annually during the surrender charge period, a surrender charge and market value adjustment (MVA) will apply on the amount in excess of the 10%.

Optional Features

If a surviving spouse continues the contract, surrender charges and MVA will be waived going forward. A spouse may also continue the withdrawal benefit if lifetime withdrawals have not begun or lifetime withdrawals based on a joint life were underway. If lifetime withdrawals have not begun and a surviving spouse has elected to continue the withdrawal benefit, the surviving spouse may begin lifetime withdrawals once they reach the minimum start age. The spouse can also choose to continue the contract and terminate the withdrawal benefit (no charges will be refunded). If lifetime withdrawals based on a joint life were underway, the surviving spouse must choose to continue the contract in order to continue receiving lifetime withdrawals.
