Income growth opportunity before retirement

35% Income Base Bonus + 250% of Rider Return2

Your Income Base is initially equal to your premium plus the Income Base Bonus and grows as interest is credited to your contract3 You may activate lifetime income any time on or after the 10th contract anniversary, and your annual income is calculated by multiplying the Income Base by a Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage dependent on your age at activation.
The Rider Return2 is a value used along with the 250% or 100% Income Rate Multiplier to calculate any increases to your Income Base. It is the weighted average of each strategy’s percentage of interest that would be credited if that day were the last day of the Strategy Term minus the Rider Fee Percentage multiplied by the number of elapsed years in your Strategy Term. In no event will the value be less than zero. It is not an interest rate credited to your contract.

Potential for increases during retirement

100% of Rider Return

After lifetime income activation, your Income Base can continue to grow by 100% of your Rider Return, which increases your lifetime income payment. This example assumes you have activated lifetime income after 10 Contract Years.
Hypothetical Assumptions: X5 Accelerator $100,000 premium, single life, issue age 60, PIMCO Global Elite Markets Index 10-year X5 Crediting Strategy for the first 10 years, 1-year Point-to-Point Crediting Strategy for remaining years. Income Base grows at 250% of the Rider Return until lifetime income activation and 100% of the Rider Return thereafter. X5 Accelerator includes a 1% annual rider fee. Assumes no withdrawals before activation (withdrawals before activation will cause the values shown to be lower), $848,522 Income Base at lifetime income activation in year 10, $992,376 Income Base in year 11, $999,843 Income Base in year 12 and 4.85% Maximum Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage at age 70. Lifetime Income is based on a 16.95% Rider Return for the first Strategy Term after activation (Year 11) and 0.75% for the second Strategy Term after activation (Year 12). This hypothetical example assumes a 1-year Point-to-Point Crediting Strategy after lifetime income activation, which provides the opportunity to increase income every year. Your experience will be different. If you were to elect a 5-year X5 Crediting Strategy after activation, your income would have the opportunity to increase every 5 years. Ask your financial professional or agent for a Rate Sheet, which includes current Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentages.

Legacy & care

Options for leaving a legacy

X5 Accelerator may offer your beneficiaries a choice of death benefits: the Standard Death Benefit, which is available immediately as a lump sum, or the Income Rider Death Benefit, which becomes available 24 months after the contract has been issued and is paid out monthly ending 5 years from date of death. The Income Rider Death Benefit reflects the addition of the 35% Income Base Bonus and the 250% or 100% Income Rate Multipliers (if applicable), which may provide your beneficiaries with a greater inheritance. Your heirs may determine the option that works best for them. Other Standard Death Benefit distribution options may be available. This hypothetical graph shows the death benefits available if the policy owner were to pass away at age 70, 10 years after purchasing the contract based on the assumptions below. For more details, please see the X5 Accelerator brochure.

Hypothetical Assumptions: X5 Accelerator $100,000 premium, single life, issue age 60, 10-Year X5 PIMCO Crediting Strategy for the first 10 years, 1-Year Point-to-Point Crediting Strategy for remaining years. Daily Benefit Base grows at 250% of the Rider Return with no withdrawals until lifetime income activation and 100% of Rider Return thereafter. 4.85% Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage at age 70. Assumes no withdrawals before activation, which will cause the values shown to be lower. Lifetime Income activation is only available on or after the 10th Contract Anniversary. Credited interest is hypothetical; actual results will differ. This is a hypothetical example designed to show how the death benefit could work. It is not an actual result and is created with the benefit of hindsight. Results will vary. Crediting Strategies and their underlying indices are not guaranteed to produce positive results; you may experience years with no credited interest.

Double income during confinement

X5 Accelerator provides a unique benefit to help you in the event that you become confined to a nursing home or other qualified facility. The lifetime income that you would receive could double for up to five years. The accompanying chart shows shows a hypothetical example of the Enhanced Income Amount if the policy owner were to become confined at age 70. Please see the X5 Accelerator brochure for more information.

The Enhanced Income Amount is available if the annuitant is confined to a qualified care facility after activating lifetime income and the eligibility requirements are met. The benefit amount will continue until the earliest of five years, until confinement ends, at the Maturity Date, or until the Contract Anniversary following the date when the Contract Value is reduced to zero at which time the income would return to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount. This benefit is not Long Term Care (LTC) insurance and is not a substitute for such coverage. This is a hypothetical example and not reflective of an actual contract or result.

1 X5 Accelerator includes a 1% annual rider fee based on the Daily Benefit Base. The income bonus is current as of 10/17/22 and subject to change prior to contract issues.

2 The Rider Return is a value used to calculate increases to your Income Base and is not an actual rate credited to your contract. It is equal to the rate of interest earned from the Crediting Strategies chosen, minus the Rider Fee Percentage multiplied by the number of elapsed years in your Strategy Term. The Rider Return cannot be less than zero.

3 Your Income Base is not your Contract Value and cannot be withdrawn partially or as a lump sum. If you take withdrawals before activating lifetime income (“before retirement”), your Income Base will be reduced in the same proportion that your withdrawal reduces your Contract Value, which will lower your future income.

Tax-qualified plans such as IRAs, 401(k)s or 403(b) plans are tax deferred regardless of whether or not they are funded with an annuity. If you use X5 Advantage to fund a tax-qualified plan, you should know that an annuity does not provide any additional tax-deferred treatment of interest beyond the treatment by the tax-qualified plan itself. You should only use an index annuity in a tax qualified plan if you want to benefit from features other than tax deferral. If you intend to take Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs), please consult with a tax advisor concerning your particular circumstances. X5 Advantage may not be appropriate if you plan to make ongoing contributions.
