|
Are There
Charges or
Adjustments for
Early
Withdrawals?
|
Yes:
A surrender charge may apply to a surrender or withdrawal of a Purchase Payment prior
to the 5th anniversary since the Purchase Payment was invested, up to 7% of the
amount withdrawn, declining to 0% over that time period. For example, if you make a
withdrawal of $100,000 during the first year after your Purchase Payment, you could be
assessed a charge of up to $7,000 on the Purchase Payment withdrawn. This loss may
be greater if there are taxes or tax penalties. A surrender charge will not apply if your
withdrawal is made after the 5th anniversary since a Purchase Payment was invested.

How are

Should I

incentive to offer you a new contract in place of the one you own. You should only
exchange your contract if you determine, after comparing the features, fees, and
risks of both contracts, that it is better for you to purchase the new contract rather
than continue to own your existing contract.
