Death benefit options for unique legacy goals

Contract Value standard death benefit

Return of Purchase Payments enhanced death benefit
This option returns the total investment amount or contract value, whichever is greater at time of death, less withdrawals.
Return of Purchase Payments enhanced death benefit
With our Return of Purchase Payments death benefit, if your client passes away before starting annuity income payments, their beneficiaries will receive the greater of the contract value or total investment in the variable annuity, less an adjustment for each prior withdrawal. This benefit is available from ages 0 to 85 and costs 0.2% (annualized).

When a withdrawal is made, an adjustment is made to the death benefit in the same proportion to the amount withdrawn, reducing the contract value. The death benefit option must be selected when the contract is issued and it cannot be changed. If the variable annuity contract is annuitized, the death benefit is no longer payable. If the owner, or the annuitant if a non natural person is the owner, pass away during the annuitization payout phase, the beneficiary may receive additional guaranteed income payments, depending on which payout option is selected.

Protective does not offer or provide investment, fiduciary, financial, legal or tax advice or act in a fiduciary capacity for any client. Clients should consult with their investment advisor, attorney or tax advisor as needed.

Variable annuities are long-term investments intended for retirement planning and involve market risk and the possible loss of principal. Investments in variable annuities are subject to fees and changes from the insurance company and the investment managers.

Withdrawals reduce the annuity’s remaining death benefit, contract value, cash surrender value and future earnings. Withdrawals may be subject to income tax and, if taken prior to age 59½, an additional 10% IRS tax penalty may apply. More frequent withdrawals may reduce earnings more than annual withdrawals.

Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of a variable annuity, any optional protected lifetime income benefit, advisory fees and the underlying investment options before investing. This and other information is contained in the prospectus for a variable annuity and its underlying investment options. Investors should read the prospectus carefully before investing. Prospectuses may be obtained by calling PLAIC at 800-456-6330.
