How it works. A Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit
A clear path to retirement. For many, the key to retirement success is matching your retirement income to the lifestyle you desire. The New York Life Clear Income Fixed Annuity can provide the income you need for a more robust retirement. At the core of this product is a Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit 1 (GLWB) Rider. So, how does it work? It s simple... 1. Build your base. Your Income Base, a value separate from your Accumulation Value, will increase for up to 10 at a rate referred to as your annual increase rate (determined at issue). Your Income Base is only used to calculate your guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit amount. 2. Steadily accumulate. Make your premium payment, and watch it grow at a fixed rate. End of policy year Income Base 0 $100,000 1 $105,000 2 $110,250 3 $115,763 4 $121,551 5 $127,628 6 $134,010 7 $140,710 8 $147,746 9 $155,133 10 $162,889 11 $162,889 12 $162,889 Assumption: 5% compounded annual increase rate locked in for the first 10 with no withdrawals or surrenders of the Accumulation Value. End of policy year Accumulation Value 0 $100,000 1 $101,527 2 $102,884 3 $104,259 4 $105,652 5 $107,064 6 $108,495 7 $109,944 8 $110,213 9 $110,483 10 $110,753 11 $111,024 12 $111,296 Assumption: 2.10% crediting rate 1-7 and 1.0% thereafter with no withdrawals or surrenders; 0.75% annual rider fee taken quarterly. This is a hypothetical example of how the Income Base, from which your guaranteed lifetime withdrawals are calculated, can grow in comparison to a policy s Accumulation Value and is based on the stated assumptions. Actual crediting rates may be higher or lower than stated and are determined when the annuity contract is issued. 1 All guarantees are dependent on the claims-paying ability of the issuer, New York Life Insurance and Annuity Corporation (NYLIAC), A Delaware Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of New York Life Insurance Company. Surrender charges will not be deducted from death benefit proceeds. May not be available in all jurisdictions. Rider fee applies.
3. Initiate withdrawals. You get to choose when to start making your lifetime withdrawals. The amount of your withdrawals is determined by multiplying your withdrawal rate by your Income Base. Your withdrawal rate locks in when you take your first lifetime withdrawal and is based on your age and whether you elect a single or joint life policy. Choosing a joint life policy allows your spouse to also receive the guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit. You can start taking lifetime withdrawals at any time after you turn 59½ without incurring any charges. However, the longer you wait to take your withdrawals, the higher your guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit amount will be. Withdrawals will reduce your Accumulation Value.
