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: 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 9% and decline to 0% after the 5th year. The schedule is 9%, 8%, 7%, 6% , 5%, 0%.
Q: Are penalty-free withdrawals available? A: Yes. You can setup monthly withdrawals of interest starting after the first month of the contract.
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 initial 5 year rate guarantee period? A: You have a 30 day window to do whatever you want with the full cash value of your annuity. You can remove all of it or let your annuity renew into a new 5-year guarantee period.
Q: What happens to the money in my account if I die? A:Your beneficiaries will receive the full account value.
