Flexible Premium Deferred Annuity: Multi-Year Guarantee Series

The Multi-Year Guarantee Series annuity* is designed for the long-term investor. You choose how long to invest your money—investing all or a portion in one or more guaranteed time periods.

This annuity offers multiple guarantee periods—typically between three and 10 years—so you can lock in several guaranteed rates. When a guarantee period ends, you have the option to reinvest your money at the current interest rate for whatever guarantee period you choose.

Flexibility
You can make premium payments to a Multi-Year Guarantee Series annuity at any time. Start with a $2,000 initial payment for an IRA account—or $5,000 for non-IRA account—and add additional premiums of $2,000 or more as often as you like.**

This flexibility adds to the "laddering" effect, which allows you to continue to reinvest your savings over time, or withdraw your money when you need it.***

Competitive long-term rates
A first-year bonus interest rate may be available depending on the accumulated value and guaranteed period you choose. With this option, you have the potential to lock in a higher rate than the regular rate for the first full year.

*This product is not available in all states.
**Subject to maximum annual IRA contribution limits.
***Surrender charges and a Market Value Adjustment (MVA) may apply to surrenders. If a taxpayer is younger than 59 1/2 at the time of distribution, a 10-percent federal tax penalty will apply to the taxable portion of the distribution unless a penalty-tax exception applies. The taxable portion of each annuity distribution is subject to income taxation.
