Q: Does the interest compound? A: Yes.

Q: Is the interest taxed? A: Your annuity grows tax deferred. This maximizes your growth potential because you are not taxed on your earnings until you withdraw money from your annuity. If your money is not already in a pre-tax account such as an IRA or 401k, this is an advantage over a bank CD where each year your interest is taxed each year.

Q: Are there any fees? A: No, there are no sales charges or ongoing maintenance fees.

Q: Is it FDIC insured? A: No. FDIC insurance is only for bank deposits. Fixed annuities are guaranteed by the issuing insurance company.

Q: How do I access my money? A: You may withdraw the interest earned during the first contract year. Every year thereafter, you may withdraw up to 10% each contract year.

Q: What are the early surrender charges? A: The early surrender charges only apply to withdrawals which are greater than the annual accrued interest amount. You can always withdraw the annual accrued interest penalty-free. If surrender charges apply, they start at 7% and decline to 0% after the 1st year. The schedule is 7%, 0%.

Q: If I withdraw more than the penalty-free amount, will a Market Value Adjustment (MVA) be applied? A: Yes. You can read more about market value adjustments here.

Q: What happens after the rate guarantee period? A: You have a 30 day window to do whatever you want with the full cash value of your annuity. The insurance company will offer you a renewal rate, but you can shop around for a better rate, or even buy a different type of annuity. You can also take your money out of the annuity, but know that you will be responsible for taxes on your interest if the money is not kept in a tax-preferred account. If you don't do anything, your annuity will automatically renew.

Q: What happens to the money in my account if I die? A:Your beneficiaries will receive the full account value.
