Lifetime Fixed V - Single premium deferred annuity
Lifetime Variable Select - Flexible premium deferred variable annuity
Lifetime Fixed V
Lifetime Fixed V is a single premium deferred annuity from TIAA-CREF Life Insurance Company (TIAA-CREF Life). Lifetime Fixed V is an after-tax investment vehicle that offers the benefits of tax-deferred growth until the your client reaches age 90, and will help ensure he or she will have added income that lasts for a lifetime.
How it works
With Lifetime Fixed V, your client applies a single sum of after-tax money to an annuity contract for a five-year period and receives a guaranteed rate of interest. At the end of the five-year period, he or she can renew the contract, take a lump-sum distribution with no surrender charges, or elect to receive an income benefit for the annuitant's lifetime (who can be the contract owner or another person), or a fixed period. Your client can also exchange the accumulation tax-free to another annuity contract offered by TIAA-CREF Life. If your client does not elect an income benefit, the contract will be automatically renewed for another five-year period at the interest rate in effect at that time.
Lifetime Fixed V features:
| |
An attractive guaranteed rate of interest for five years (currently 3.00%, subject to change) |
| |
The ability to save on a tax-deferred basis until age 90 |
| |
Access to up to 10% of the initial premium each year with no surrender charge |
| |
Choice of income options, including lifetime benefits |
| |
Minimum initial premium $10,000 |
|
|
Lifetime Fixed V also gives your client easy access to up to 10% of the initial contribution each year with no surrender charge. Annual withdrawals in excess of 10% of the initial contribution are subject to surrender charges, which are calculated as a percentage of the initial contribution and decline in each contract year. At withdrawal, interest on Lifetime Fixed V is subject to income tax and, before age 59½, may be subject to a 10% federal tax penalty.
Your client can supplement his or her income by electing to receive regular, automatic payments from a Lifetime Fixed V contract, with the flexibility to stop withdrawals at any time. The contract owner can choose to receive a fixed dollar amount, a percentage, or interest earned.
