Annuities are issued by Minnesota Life.

An annuity is intended to be a long-term, tax deferred retirement vehicle. Earnings are taxable as ordinary income when distributed, and if withdrawn before age 59½, may be subject to a 10% federal tax penalty. If the annuity will fund an IRA or other tax qualified plan, the tax-deferral feature offers no additional value. Qualified distributions from a Roth IRA are generally excluded from gross income, but taxes and penalties may apply to non-qualified distributions. Please consult a tax advisor for specific information. There are charges and expenses associated with annuities, such as deferred sales charges for early withdrawals. Variable annuities have additional expenses such as mortality and expense risk, administrative charges, investment management fees and rider fees. Variable annuities are subject to market fluctuation, investment risk and loss of principal.

Guarantees are subject to the financial strength and claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company. Please consult with your firm before providing any products/services or materials listed here. Some products and optional features may not be available in all states and features may vary by state.

The Premier Protector Death Benefit is not long term care or nursing home insurance. Individuals may not elect this benefit if they are currently in a nursing home, skilled nursing facility or unable to perform any one of the six ADLs. Please review the prospectus for additional information on the ADLs. Withdrawals or surrender of contract value during the acceleration period will be subject to taxation in the same manner as any other withdrawal. Individuals may wish to consult a tax advisor before electing to accelerate the benefit. Variable products are not available in New York.

The Achiever Lifetime Income optional benefit establishes a Benefit Base for calculating guaranteed annual income. The Benefit Base provides no minimum contract value and is not available for withdrawal. Withdrawals exceeding allowed guidelines, or taken before the Benefit Date, may have a negative impact on the guarantees of this optional benefit. Optional benefits are available for an additional cost.
