Farmers Harvest Premium Bonus 7-Year
Accumulation-focused buyers who intend to hold the full seven years, want an upfront account-value cushion, and are comfortable trading away crediting potential and a top-tier carrier rating to get it
FIA7yr 3.48.00% (issue ages 0-75) / 6.00% (issue ages 76-85) on the 7-year surrender variant. Vesting schedule (7-Year Surrender Charge Period): Year 1: 0%, Year 2: 10%, Year 3: 25%, Year 4: 40%, Year 5: 55%, Year 6: 70%, Year 7: 85%, Year 8+: 100%. An optional Enhanced Premium Bonus Rider can instead raise the bonus to 10.00%/8.00% for the 7-year variant, but adds a 0.95% annual fee applied pro-rata across strategies - this spec covers the standard (non-enhanced) Premium Bonus Rider matching this product folder's name.Review →
Farmers Harvest Enhanced Premium Bonus 10-Year
Buyers who specifically want the largest available upfront account-value bonus and a clean full-contract-value death benefit, are comfortable committing to a B++ carrier for ten years, and do not need liquidity
FIA10yr 3.217.00% (issue ages 0-75) / 10.00% (issue ages 76-85). Recapture/vesting is graded annually over the 10-year surrender period: 0% in year 1, then vesting at a constant pace (17% track: 1.70 pts/yr; 10% track: 1.00 pt/yr) reaching 15.30% / 9.00% at year 10, fully vested (17.00% / 10.00%) at year 11+. Any cash surrender before full vesting forfeits the unvested portion; the bonus fully vests immediately upon death.Review →
