1. Guarantees are based on the claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company.
2. This annuity has a 1-and 5-year term - meaning your base rate is guaranteed for the length of the chosen term. The effective annual interest rate for each premium will be declared from time to time by the Company and is guaranteed for the length of the chosen Term. Upon renewal, you will receive the annual rate in effect at that point in time. That rate will not be less than the guaranteed minimum interest rate stated in your contract. Once issued, the guaranteed minimum rate for the contract will never change.
3. The benefits of tax deferral in an annuity do not apply to contracts purchased as an Individual Retirement Annuity (IRA) or inside some other tax-qualified retirement plan because these plans already have tax-deferred status. Therefore, you should buy an annuity in such plans only if you value the lifetime income or beneficiary protection features that an annuity offers.
4. Focus Five Plus is subject to a 5-year surrender charge schedule (7% in years 1-3, 6% in year 4, 5% in year 5, 0% thereafter), which is applicable to each purchase payment. All withdrawals of taxable amounts, including earnings, are taxable as ordinary income and, if taken prior to age 59½, may be subject to a 10% federal tax penalty.
Annuities are long-term financial vehicles designed for retirement purposes. Withdrawals, which may be subject to surrender charges, have the effect of reducing benefits and values.
