Key features of High Point 365 with Bonus

High Point 365 with Bonus is designed to offer the certainty of a guaranteed roll-up, as well as the opportunity for greater growth potential the longer you wait to initiate lifetime income2, while providing the flexibility to begin income after only one full contract year:

  • The rider offers instant growth of contract value through a Purchase Payment Bonus3 of 1% and of rider income benefit base through a Minimum Income Benefit Value Bonus of 10%
  • The income benefit base will grow by the greater of a 7% compound interest annual roll-up on your purchase payment plus minimum income benefit value bonus for 10 years or until the first lifetime withdrawal, whichever comes first OR a daily step-up feature on the income benefit base that captures the highest daily balanced allocation value4
  • Competitive payout percentages that increase the longer you wait to take lifetime income
  • A joint option for continuation of income to your spouse is also available. (Note: If joint option is elected at issue, the lifetime payout percentage is based on the younger life and will be lower.)
