By GlobalDataThe new offering can be purchased by paying a single premium payment ranging from $15,000 to $1m.
The insurer is offering customers an option to select a 10% free withdrawal amount, which would slash the guaranteed interest rate by 0.25%, or no free withdrawal amount for the full guaranteed interest rate. The guaranteed interest rates are 3.40% for 5X and 3.50% for 7X.
The required minimum distributions (RMDs) will not invite any surrender charges or market value adjustment, the company noted. Furthermore, the plan offers customers a death benefit equal to their contract value.
At the end of the guarantee period, customers will have option to either surrender any amount of the contract or renew their contract.
After the first year, customers can annuitise the contract any time and choose from seven fixed annuity payment options.
Nassau Re also noted that early withdrawal penalties may be waived for nursing home confinement and terminal illness.
