Buffered Annuities Sample Clauses

Buffered Annuities. The performance of a buffered annuity is linked to the performance of a market index; however, your participation in any gain experienced by the index will be limited to the percentage of the gain set by the insurance company. This limits your upside potential while the insurance company helps to protect your annuity value from market volatility. This protection from market volatility is limited and will not prevent your annuity from losing value. Before placing money in a buffered annuity, please con- sider your investment objectives, time horizon, and risk tolerance. The value of the indexing strategies will fluctuate based on the performance of the underlying index(es), and it is possible to receive back less than what you invested. The upside potential may be subject to interest rate cap, spread, and/or participation rates, and these interest rate cap, spread, and/or participation rates may be changed periodi- cally at the discretion of the insurance company. Information about the indexing strategies, such as management fees and other expenses, can be found in the prospectus, and this information should be read carefully before investing.

  • ANNUITY PAYMENTS If the Annuitant is living and this contract is in force on the Annuity Commencement Date, based on the election we have on record we will begin to make annuity payments under one of the payout options below or any other payout option we make available. You may elect for payments to be made monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually or any other frequency that we make available. If no election is made as of the Annuity Commencement Date, payments will be made monthly under Fixed Annuity Payout Option F-2 with a guaranteed period of 10 years. If annuity payout option F-3 is chosen, you must select a joint Annuitant prior to the Annuity Commencement Date. All annuity payments are based on: • the age and sex (if a Non-Qualified Contract) of the Annuitant at the birthday nearest the Annuity Commencement Date; • the Accumulation Value on the Annuity Commencement Date less any annuity taxes; • the annuity payout option elected; and • the annuity payout frequency. Payee Unless you request otherwise, the payee of any annuity payments will be the first among the following who is living at the time the payment is to be made: • any surviving Owner or joint Owner; if none then • any surviving Primary Beneficiary; if none then • any surviving Contingent Beneficiary. If no payees are living and a guaranteed period has not ended, the present value of any remaining payments will be paid to the estate of the last remaining payee. Annuity Payout Options You may elect to receive annuity payments from one of the following options or any other option we make available. Unless stated otherwise, once annuity payments begin you may not change the Annuitant, payout option, guaranteed period or, in the case of option F-3, the survivor percentage. Life Annuity without Guaranteed Period (Option F-1) We will make fixed annuity payments during the lifetime of the Annuitant. We do not guarantee a minimum number of annuity payments under this option. Payments stop once the Annuitant dies. Life Annuity with Guaranteed Period (Option F-2) We will make fixed annuity payments during the lifetime of the Annuitant. Payments are guaranteed for any number of full years between 1 and 30. The length of the guaranteed period must be elected prior to receiving any annuity payments, and cannot exceed the life expectancy of the Annuitant. If the Annuitant dies before the end of the guaranteed period, we will pay the balance of the payments for the remainder of that period, unless you elect to be paid the present value of the current dollar amount of the then remaining annuity payments in a lump sum. Joint and Survivor Annuity (Option F-3) We will make fixed annuity payments while the Annuitant and joint Annuitant are living and during the survivor’s remaining lifetime. Based on your selection, payments may have no guaranteed period or may have a guaranteed period for any number of full years between 1 and 30. If you select a guaranteed period, the length of the guaranteed period must be elected prior to receiving any annuity payments, and cannot exceed the joint life expectancy of the Annuitants. When the Annuitant or the joint Annuitant dies, payments based on a percentage of the payment in effect while both were living will continue for the lifetime of the survivor. The percentage may be any percentage between 5% and 100%. The percentage must be elected prior to receiving the first annuity payment. If both the Annuitant and joint Annuitant die before the end of any guaranteed period, we will pay the balance of the payments for the remainder of that period, unless you elect to be paid the present value of the current dollar amount of the then remaining annuity payments in a lump sum.
