Daily Income Growth, Lifetime Income Flexibility

Prudential Fixed Annuity with Daily Advantage Income Benefit

A flexible annuity strategy that provides clients guaranteed lifetime income now or whenever they’re ready. It also includes daily growth of future income until income begins, with no exposure to market risk.

Guaranteed lifetime income that’s predictable—whether clients choose to start it now or let it grow for the future

The client’s future income amount is guaranteed to increase DAILY, regardless of market performance, until they start taking income

Client account values are protected from market risk – and accessible any time before or after income begins*

Clients control when they start income and how much of it they’ll take each year. Any amount not taken is carried over into future years, and clients can use it how and when they want

Income now or whenever

With Daily Advantage Income, clients can begin taking income immediately, or whenever they are ready. Every day they wait means guaranteed daily growth of their lifetime income until they start taking income.

The 365 day advantage

Compared to other annuities that credit income growth annually on the contract anniversary, Daily Advantage Income enhances the client’s
lifetime income by crediting guaranteed income growth DAILY. This means they lock in more lifetime income 365 days a year—not just once
a year—giving them the flexibility to retire on their own terms and still receive more income for life.

 

Daily crediting: Guaranteed income growth is credited every day—clients can start income
any day during their contract year and still receive more income for life
Annual crediting: Guaranteed income growth is credited once a year—meaning clients have
to wait until their contract anniversary to receive an increased Guaranteed Income Amount

Helping clients have income their way

After clients start their Lifetime Withdrawals from Daily Advantage Income, they can control how much of it they want to receive each year. If they take less than their annual Guaranteed Income Amount, they can “store” the unused amount for future use. Any stored amount is theirs to withdraw without penalty whenever they want.

Upon surrender, death, or annuitization, the client will never receive less than the minimum guaranteed Surrender Value, which is equal to 87.5% of the Total Purchase Payment(s), less any net withdrawals, accumulating at a fixed interest rate credited daily at the annual yield of at least 1.00%

  • After the first contract year, the client may withdraw up to 10% of the Account Value on the previous contract anniversary

Surrender charge period and schedule

Market value adjustment (MVA)
A positive or negative adjustment (depending on the current interest rate environment) that applies to any withdrawals that exceed the free withdrawal Amount during the Surrender Charge Period

  • Generally, if interest rates have remained the same or risen since contract issue at the time of withdrawal, the MVA will reduce the amount distributed
  • If interest rates have fallen, the MVA can increase the amount distributed, up to a specified maximum
  • The MVA will never cause the Surrender Value to be less than the Minimum Guaranteed Surrender Value and does not apply to:
    •  Required minimum distributions (RMDs) that Prudential calculates
    •  Medically related surrenders
    •  Death Benefit proceeds

Latest Annuity Date
When annuity payments must begin

No later than the first contract anniversary on or after the oldest owner or annuitants’ 95th birthday

Death Benefit
The amount beneficiaries will receive

  • Equal to the greater of the Account Value, or the Minimum Guaranteed Surrender Value or Stored Income (if applicable)

Daily Advantage Income Benefit Specifications

Overview of Daily advantage income benefit specifications

Features

Specifications

Guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit (GLWB)

  • Automatically elected with the purchase of the contract
  • May be canceled after 5 years and cannot be re-elected—the final benefit charge will be prorated upon cancellation

Annual Benefit Charge

The annual benefit charge for both single and spousal contracts is equal to 0.95% of the Account Value on the contract anniversary and is deducted on the contract anniversary

Guaranteed Income Amount (GIA)
The amount of lifetime income available to the client every year for life

  • The initial Guaranteed Income Amount is equal to the total Purchase Payment(s) multiplied by the applicable age-based Withdrawal Percentage
  • The Guaranteed Income Amount continues to grow daily by an annualized simple fixed interest rate (the Income Growth Rate) until the client begins taking Lifetime Withdrawals

Withdrawal Percentages
A factor used to determine the initial Guaranteed Income Amount

  • Based on the youngest Designated Life’s age, on the issue date and the selection of single life or spousal lives
  • The client may change their choice between single and spousal at any time prior to taking Lifetime Withdrawals
  • Rates are established at issue. See rate sheet for current rates

Income Growth Rate
Annualized rate of simple interest credited daily to the Guaranteed Income Amount until Lifetime Withdrawals begin

  • Prior to the first Lifetime Withdrawal, the Guaranteed Income Amount will increase by the Income Growth Rate credit every day
  • The amount credited each day is reduced by any Non-Lifetime Withdrawals
  • The daily credited value is calculated by multiplying the initial Guaranteed Income Amount by the Income Growth Rate, divided by 365 days (366 in a leap year)
  • Rates are established at issue. See rate sheet for current rates

Non-Lifetime Withdrawals
Withdrawals prior to beginning Lifetime Withdrawals

  • The client is allowed an unlimited number of Non-Lifetime Withdrawals prior to beginning Lifetime Withdrawals
  • These withdrawals proportionately reduce the Income Growth amount credited and permanently reduce the Guaranteed Income Amount for future years, but do not stop the daily growth of the Guaranteed Income Amount
  • Non-Lifetime Withdrawals above the Free Withdrawal Amount reduce all benefit guarantees by the percentage the withdrawal represents of the current Account Value and are subject to applicable Surrender Charges and Market Value Adjustment
  • A Non-Lifetime Withdrawal that reduces the Account Value to zero will terminate the benefit and contract

Lifetime Withdrawals

  • Once the first lifetime income withdrawal is taken, the GIA is set and will no longer increase based on the Income Growth Rate, but it may be reduced for excess withdrawals.
  • The client may change between single and spousal designated lives up until they take their first Lifetime Withdrawal
  • Guaranteed lifetime income withdrawals continue throughout the lifetime of the covered person(s)

Income Reserve Feature and Stored Income
Availability may vary by broker-dealer

  • With the Income Reserve feature, once Lifetime Withdrawals have begun and as long as there is still an Account Value, if the full Guaranteed Income Amount has not been taken in any given contract year, the unused portion is automatically carried over into future years as “Stored Income”
  • Stored Income is a tracked value within the Account Value composed of the cumulative total of any carried over portion(s) of annual Guaranteed Income Amount(s) that:
    •  Is not subject to tax implications until the client decides to withdraw it
    •  Must be withdrawn or used as the one-time increase to the Guaranteed Income Amount prior to electing to receive annuity payments or before the Account Value is reduced to zero
  • Any withdrawals are taken first from the Guaranteed Income Amount, and then any available Stored Income
  • Any amount withdrawn from Stored Income:
    •  Does not count toward the available Free Withdrawal amount
    •  Is not treated as Excess Income

Excess Income
Occurs when cumulative Lifetime Withdrawals in a particular year exceed the Guaranteed Income Amount and if applicable, any Stored Income

  • Withdrawals of Excess Income proportionately reduce the value of the Guaranteed Income Amount in future years
  • The Guaranteed Income Amount is proportionally reduced by the ratio of the Excess Income to the Account Value immediately after any Lifetime Withdrawal and prior to the withdrawal of Excess Income
  • If Excess Income reduces the Account Value to zero, no further amount would be payable and the contract would terminate
  • Required minimum distributions calculated by Prudential are not considered Excess Income
