Protective Life’s Protective Income Builder is a single-premium indexed annuity that offers a 7-year surrender charge duration, as well as a provision for market value adjustment. Despite this being a single-premium product, additional payments/premiums are accepted within the first contract year. This annuity offers the 1 Year S&P 500 Annual Tiered Rate account strategy, which credits your contract with a base interest rate for any positive gains during the crediting period. An additional enhancement rate is also credited if this index reaches a pre-determined performance rate threshold.
This annuity also offers a rising income benefit, and a protected lifetime income benefit to provide opportunities for base income growth.
