LibertyMark 7 Features
Minimum and maximum premiums
The minimum single premium for this annuity is $10,000 while the maximum single premium is 1,000,000 $. Flexible premiums are not allowed with the LibertyMark 7. The amounts apply equally under the qualified and unqualified status. The FIA provides a 10 day free look up period and a 45 day rate lock protection period.
Issue age
LibertyMark 7 is issued to people aged between 0-85. This applies to the owner of the annuity and not the annuitizer.
Free withdrawals
This annuity allows policy holders to make free withdrawals each limited to a maximum 10% the value of the annuity. The withdrawal is based on accumulation. Holders can however not withdraw the interest amount only. The minimum withdrawal amounts and minimum account values are $500 and $2,000 respectively.
Above the 10% free withdrawal amount, additional withdrawals will be charged differently depending on specific states. For most states however, this begins at 12.00% for year one and reduces gradually to 9.00%, 8.50%, 8.00%, 7.00%, 6.00%, 5.00% and 4.00% in the seventh year.
Systematic withdrawals
Systematic withdrawals are not available with LibertyMark 7.
Death benefit
Upon the annuitant’s death, the death benefit paid to a beneficiary will be the greatest of the amounts among the entire accumulated value (this becomes 130% with the heritage maximize option), the return of premium having been lessened by the amount of gross withdrawals or the GMV at death of the annuitant.
