8% compound annual growth for 10 years
Your Minimum Income Benefit Value will continue to grow daily at an 8% compound annual rate until the earlier of 10 years or until you begin lifetime income withdrawals.²
Guaranteed income in retirement
You may begin lifetime income after the first contract year or the date the younger covered life reaches age 50 (whichever is later); lifetime income is guaranteed to continue for the rest of your life.³
