Market Value Adjustment (MVA)
Withdrawals above the penalty-free withdrawal amount during the first five contract years may be increased or decreased by an MVA. The MVA is based on a formula designed to react to changes in interest rates at the time of a withdrawal. Generally, if interest rates have risen since the contract issue date, the MVA will decrease the amount you will receive, subject to certain limits. If interest rates have fallen, the MVA will increase the amount you will receive, up to a maximum percentage.
An MVA will apply to:
- Withdrawals above the penalty-free withdrawal amount made during the first five years
- Withdrawals less than or equal to the GLIA once lifetime income has been activated
- Penalty-Free withdrawal amounts
- Death benefit
- Annuitization
- Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) from qualified contracts that apply to amounts held under the contract When applicable, withdrawals made under an early withdrawal waiver will receive an MVA increase, but will not be charged an MVA decrease.
