Annuity FYI Pick
 Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit Plus with Annual Reset
(Rider) |
A high, 5% compounding income base guaranteed during both the deferral period and income phase (until annuitization). A 6% compounding income base may be available in some states -- contact Annuity FYI for more information.
The guaranteed compounding lasts until an advanced age of 85 (the contract anniversary after your 85th birthday).
However, if you are taking income, your benefit base is preserved through the anniversary following your 90th birthday!
It offers the ability to reset the income base at least annually, until a relatively advanced age of 80 (the contract anniversary prior to your 81st birthday).
The rider permits up to 5% dollar-for-dollar annual withdrawals, available immediately.
The rider fees cannot increase during the surrender period.
