Return of Purchase Payments death benefit

Should your client pass away before starting annuity income payments, their beneficiaries will receive the greater of the contract value or total investment in the variable annuity, less an adjustment for each prior withdrawal. This benefit is available from ages 0-85 and costs 0.20% (annualized).

Maximum Anniversary Value death benefit

Take advantage of market gains on an annual basis by applying any additional contract value on each contract anniversary to the death benefit, less any withdrawals. Once locked in, the death benefit never falls below the highest anniversary lock-in amount, even when contract value decreases due to investment performance. This benefit is available from ages 0-77 and costs 0.35% (annualized).

Maximum Quarterly Value death benefit

Clients can apply contract value increases more frequently, providing additional opportunities to capture market gains. Once applied to the death benefit, the amount will never decrease due to investment performance, ensuring a stable or growing benefit for loved ones. This benefit is available from ages 0-77 and costs 0.40% (annualized).
