Accessing Your Money
Free Withdrawals
Each year after the first contract year, clients may withdraw up to 10% of their contract value (as of the most recent contract anniversary) to provide income. Minimum withdrawal amount: $250. Free withdrawals will not be subject to surrender charges or market value adjustments.
Required Minimum Distributions
Required minimum distributions (RMDs) are mandatory withdrawals from qualified contracts starting at age 73. If you were born before July 1, 1949, your required beginning age for taking RMDs remains age 70 ½. RMDs can begin after year one and are considered a free withdrawal, even if they exceed 10% of the account value. The Harbourview FIA Series can provide an income stream for a term of your choosing, including the rest of your life. Once you elect to receive a guaranteed income stream, the payment schedule and amount cannot be changed.
Settlement Options
- Life Only: Equal monthly payments for the annuitant’s remaining lifetime. Payments will end with the payment due just before the annuitant’s death.
- Life with 10 Year Period Certain: Equal monthly payments for the greater of 120 months or the annuitant’s remaining lifetime.
- Joint and Last Survivor: This option provides payments during the lifetime of the annuitant and the lifetime of a designated second person. If at the death of the survivor, annuity payments have been made for less than 120 monthly periods, the remaining guaranteed annuity payments will be continued to the beneficiary.
Death Benefit
A death benefit is payable to the annuity’s beneficiary, if the owner, or the annuitant if the owner is a non-natural person, dies before the annuity payments begin. The amount payable is equal to the accumulation value determined as of the date of death. The death benefit will not be subject to a Market Value Adjustment or Surrender Charges.
Spousal Continuation
This option allows one spouse to continue the other’s contract as the new annuitant. In the event of the death of one spouse, contracts that are jointly owned by spouses or a single-owner contract with a sole spouse beneficiary allow the surviving spouse to assume all rights to the initial agreement. They will have the ability to elect to continue the contract, collect any remaining and all payments and any death benefits and choose beneficiaries, subject to certain conditions. This provision allows for the surviving spouse to maintain a tax-deferred status and secure long-term financial stability.
