SYMETRA INCOME EDGE FIXED INDEXED ANNUITY
Important information
Symetra Income Edge is an individual single- premium fixed indexed deferred annuity with a market value adjustment feature issued by Symetra Life Insurance Company, 777 108th Avenue NE, Suite 1200, Bellevue, WA 98004. Contract form number is ICC14_RC1 in most states. The Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Rider form number is ICC15_RE1 in most states. Product and rider are not available in all U.S. states or any U.S. territory. Terms and conditions may vary. A rider is a provision of the annuity with additional costs, potential benefits and features that should never be confused with the annuity itself. Before evaluating the benefits of a rider, carefully examine the annuity to which it is attached. There is an annual percentage charge for the Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Rider (“rider”) based on the contract value on the date the charge is calculated. The rider provides a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit (“GLWB”) during the life of the covered person(s) while the rider is in effect. You may terminate the rider after the fifth interest term. Once you terminate the rider it may not be reinstated. We will assess and deduct the GLWB rider charge until the rider is terminated. Changing the owners, annuitants or beneficiaries may cause the rider to terminate or adversely affect the benefits of the rider. A change in marital status after you purchase this contract may adversely affect the benefits of the rider. Taking excess withdrawals could reduce future benefits under the rider by more than the dollar amount of the excess withdrawals. Annuity contracts have terms and limitations for keeping them in force. Contact your financial professional or insurance producer for complete details. Guarantees and benefits are subject to the claims-paying ability of Symetra Life Insurance Company. Symetra Income Edge has fixed and indexed accounts. Interest credited to the indexed accounts is affected by the value of outside indexes. Values based on the performance of any index are not guaranteed. The contract does not directly participate in any outside investment. Indexed interest is calculated and credited (if applicable) at the end of an annual interest term. Amounts withdrawn from the indexed account before the end of an annual interest term will not receive indexed interest for that term.
If the contract is being funded with multiple purchase payments (e.g., 1035 exchanges), funds will be held and the contract will not be issued until all purchase payments have been received. Interest is not credited between the dates the purchase payments are received and the date the contract is issued. Except for the JPMorgan ETF Efficiente® 5 Index, the performance of an index does not reflect the payment or reinvestment of dividends. It is not possible to invest in an index. Symetra reserves the right to add or remove any index or indexed interest crediting method options. If any index is discontinued or if the calculation of any index is changed substantially, Symetra reserves the right to substitute a comparable index. A market value adjustment (MVA) is a positive or negative adjustment that may apply when all or when a portion of the contract value is withdrawn. If applicable, an MVA will apply to a withdrawal of more than 10% of the contract value in a contract year during the surrender charge period. It may also apply upon death or annuitization, but only if it results in a cash surrender value higher than the contract value that would otherwise be paid. A negative MVA will never cause the cash surrender value to be less than the guaranteed minimum value. After the surrender charge period, no MVA applies. If the MVA reference rate is not published for a particular day, Symetra will use the MVA reference rate as of the prior business day. If the MVA reference rate is no longer available or discontinued, Symetra may substitute another comparable method for determining the MVA reference rate. “Bloomberg ® ” and US Intermediate Corporate Bond Index are service marks of Bloomberg Finance L.P. and its affiliates, including Bloomberg Index Services Limited (“BISL”), the administrator of the index (collectively, “Bloomberg”) and have been licensed for use for certain purposes by Symetra Life Insurance Company.
