What鈥檚 an income-focused RILA?

An income-focused RILA is designed to provide guaranteed lifetime income for retirement. When you鈥檙e ready to retire you鈥檒l have a source of protected money that鈥檚 guaranteed for as long as you live.

More on how a RILA works
How you create future guaranteed income

The Secure Income Protector rider is what helps create guaranteed lifetime income. The rider comes automatically with your contract and establishes an income benefit base that鈥檚 protected from market losses.

For example, if you purchase a contract with $50,000, then your income benefit base also starts at $50,000. The performance of the investment segment(s) you choose is evaluated on each segment end date, and any gains are added to your overall account value. These gains 鈥渟tep up鈥 into your income benefit base, and are locked in. Even if future segment performances result in losses, the amount of your benefit base won鈥檛 go down.

Understanding deferral credits

Future income can also grow through deferral credits. When you purchase your contract, you鈥檒l receive an initial secure income withdrawal percentage, which is based on your age at time of purchase. For every year you don鈥檛 take a withdrawal you鈥檒l receive an additional deferral credit. The longer you wait to take money, the higher you鈥檙e final income withdrawal percentage will be.

This graph shows how deferral credits work to increase a client鈥檚 secure income withdrawal percentage.

Create guaranteed lifetime income

When you decide to start taking money from your annuity, your benefit base and withdrawal percentage work together to calculate the amount of your annual guaranteed income.

Other factors that can affect the amount of guaranteed income you receive include:

  • Your age when you start taking income.
  • Whether you want income for one or two people.
  • What income option you choose 鈥 level or tiered.
Level income option

The amount of guaranteed lifetime income you receive is never reduced, regardless of your account鈥檚 accumulated value.

This graph shows that with the level income option the client鈥檚 guaranteed income amount remains the same for their lifetime.
Tiered income option

This option provides higher income when you first start income payments, then decreases when your account value reaches zero.

This graph shows how the tiered income option reduces the client's guaranteed income when their account balance reaches zero.
