BELLEVUE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Symetra Life Insurance Company today announced that its new single-premium fixed indexed annuity (FIA) product, Symetra Edge Pro^(SM), is now available nationwide through its distribution network of banks, broker-dealers and general agencies. This follows an initial launch of the product with select partners in April 2011.

“We received positive feedback from distribution partners following our April Edge Pro launch, and we look forward to giving more distributors and customers the opportunity to examine the features of our innovative fixed indexed annuity product,” said Dan Guilbert, executive vice president of Symetra’s Retirement Division. “We believe Edge Pro offers a compelling option for customers — one that delivers protection, access, tax-deferred growth and the opportunity to create guaranteed retirement income.”

Designed to meet the retirement planning needs of customers looking for diversification and principal protection, Symetra Edge Pro offers a choice of two indexes — S&P 500^® Index and the S&P GSCI^® Excess Return Index — as well as a fixed account option and guaranteed minimum value feature. Symetra Edge Pro allows customers to allocate money to accounts where interest is based on the performance of both indexes, giving their money a chance to grow through the power of diversification.
