Secure Retirement 10-Year Boost
Buyers who want a principal-protected accumulation FIA and value the 12% bonus's immediate full vesting at death or a care event more than the extra cap headroom the no-bonus sibling offers
FIA10yr 3.612.00% (issue ages 0-70), 8.00% (ages 71-75), 5.00% (ages 76-80); N/A for ages 81-85. Vests 0% in Year 1, then +10 percentage points of the bonus per year through Year 10 (10%,20%,...,90%), reaching 100% vested in Year 11+. Bonus becomes fully vested immediately upon death or a qualifying Nursing Home/Terminal Illness/Critical Illness/Home Health Care waiver event. If the client withdraws more than the annual penalty-free amount during the surrender period, unvested bonus is forfeited proportionally (vests only per the schedule above).Review →
