Waiver of surrender charge

Surrender charges are waived upon the following events:

  • Annuitization
  • Death
  • Withdrawal or surrender during a qualifying Nursing Home stay or Terminal Condition of the owner or joint owner. There is a one-year waiting period following any change of ownership during which these waiver provisions do not apply.
  • Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) in excess of the Free Withdrawal Amount per contract year.

Transfers

Transfers must only involve accounts that are at the end of their respective crediting periods; no transfers may be made in the middle of a crediting period unless Performance Locking (more details below). Transfer requests must be received by the annuity service center no later than one business day prior to the end of the Crediting Period. Transfers will earn the renewal rate for the selected account.

Performance lock

The Account Value in each Indexed Account may be locked in once per Crediting Period, per Indexed Account. The locked Account Value will be automatically transferred to the Fixed Account, where it will accrue interest at the contract’s current Fixed Account interest rate. Locked funds may remain in the Fixed Account or may be reallocated to an available 1-year Indexed Account on any subsequent Contract Anniversary.

Account value

The account value on a given date is equal to the value of a given Indexed Account or Guaranteed Interest Account. The value in each Indexed Account is equal to the Crediting Base plus the Interim Value Adjustment. Partial withdrawals or annuitizations will reduce the contract value on a dollar-for-dollar basis.

Partial withdrawals or annuitizations will reduce the contract value on a dollar-for-dollar basis

Crediting base

The crediting base is tracked separately for each Indexed Account. Initially, it is set equal to the purchase payment in each account. At the end of each Crediting Period the Crediting Base will reset to the Account Value in each Indexed Account. Partial withdrawals and annuitization will reduce the Crediting Base on a pro-rata basis.

Interim value adjustment

The Interim Value Adjustment is recalculated daily based on the crediting strategy, the value added to the crediting base that is based on hypothetical assets backing the crediting strategy, and the time remaining in the Crediting Period. Partial withdrawals and annuitization will reduce the Interim Value Adjustment on a pro-rata basis.

Free withdrawal

The free withdrawal amount is equal to 10% of the Contract Value as of the most recent Contract Anniversary (10% of Purchase Payments in the first Contract Year). Free Withdrawal is not applied at full surrender. It is the amount that you can withdrawal each year without incurring surrender charges. Required minimum distribution (RMD) in excess of free withdrawal amount.

Standard death benefit

Contract value

Guaranteed Minimum Surrender Value (GMSV)

The GMSV for the Fixed Account is equal to the Purchase Payment allocated to the Fixed Account multiplied by the GMSV Purchase Payment Percentage (initially 87.5%) accumulated at the applicable GMSV Rate (1%-3%) and adjusted for any amounts withdrawn or transferred. Interest is credited to the GMSV daily.

The GMSV for each Indexed Account is equal to zero.

An annuity is intended to be a long-term, tax-deferred retirement vehicle. Earnings are taxable as ordinary income when distributed, and if withdrawn before age 59½, may be subject to a 10% federal tax penalty. If the annuity will fund an IRA or other tax qualified plan, the tax deferral feature offers no additional value. Qualified distributions from a Roth IRA are generally excluded from gross income, but taxes and penalties may apply to non-qualified distributions. Please consult a tax advisor for specific information. There are charges and expenses associated with annuities, such as surrender charges (deferred sales charges) for early withdrawals.

Registered index-linked annuities are subject to ongoing fluctuations in value, and it is possible to lose a significant amount of principal due to negative index performance or a negative interim value adjustment.

All guarantees provided under this contract, including optional guaranteed death benefits, the crediting of any index credits earned at the end of a crediting period, interest, and annuity payments are subject to the financial strength and claims-paying ability of Minnesota Life Insurance Company. The guarantees have no bearing on the performance of any index that underlies an indexed account.

The Caps and Participation Rates offered may differ between new issue contracts and in-force contracts. Rates will vary from crediting period to crediting period, but will never be less than any contractually guaranteed minimums. We will notify your client of the current renewal rates for any available indexed accounts in advance of your expiring crediting period. Except for the Default Account, we may discontinue any indexed account option offered under the contract at the end of a crediting period.

Indexed accounts have a daily interim value adjustment that may be negative or positive and causes an indexed account’s value to fluctuate daily. The interim value adjustment may be negative, even if the underlying index performance is positive. A negative interim value adjustment may result in losses to the initial investment and previous index credits earned.

The protection provided by a Buffer, Floor, or Shift is only applied if funds are held in an indexed account until the crediting period is completed. Index credits are only applied if funds are held until the completion of a crediting period.

Fees for optional benefits will be deducted from the account value, and if deducted prior to the end of a multi-year crediting period, will reduce the amount of index credits received at the end of a crediting period.

We do not provide advice or recommendations on when it may be appropriate or inappropriate to exercise a Performance Lock. Clients assume all risks associated with a Performance Lock, including the risk that clients may experience a greater loss by exercising a Performance Lock than if clients had held their funds in the Indexed Account until the completion of the Crediting Period. The account value quoted to clients at the time clients request a Performance Lock may be higher or lower than the value determined at the time the Performance Lock is processed. Clients should consider discussing with their financial professional prior to requesting a Performance Lock.
