SurePath Fixed Indexed Annuity
Get an annuity with protection and growth opportunities rolled into one. The SurePath® Fixed Indexed Annuity offers protection from market volatility and the opportunity for growth over the long term.
Issued by Pruco Life Insurance Company.
SurePath offers you:
Tax deferral
You pay no taxes of any kind on any growth until you make a withdrawal.
Legacy protection
If you pass away during your index period, your beneficiaries get a portion of any index growth.
Guaranteed protection
Your original premium payment and any growth are fully protected against market loss.
Growth opportunity
Your money can grow based on the performance of a market index or crediting strategy.
How SurePath works
SurePath offers two ways to potentially grow your money: an index-based strategy and a fixed rate strategy. You decide the percentage to allocate to each and the term of each index-based strategy.
Money in the fixed rate strategy is guaranteed to grow at a predetermined interest rate for one year. Funds allocated to the index-based strategy have the potential to grow based on the performance of your chosen indices, comparing the value on the first day to the value on the last day of your 1-, 2-, or 3-year term. We call this point-to-point crediting.
When you purchase a contract, you select a 7- or 10-year surrender charge period, which is the amount of time you must wait until you can withdraw funds from the annuity without facing a penalty charge.
Any withdrawal taken during an index term will not be eligible to receive interest at the end of the index term. Withdrawals taken during the surrender charge period, excluding any Required Minimum Distributions, will be subject to any applicable surrender charges and a Market Value Adjustment.*
Upon renewal or reallocation at the end of a term, you may continue with the same strategy and allocation or choose from any strategies and terms available.
*Market Value Adjustment (MVA)—a positive or negative adjustment that applies during the surrender charge period to any withdrawals that exceed the Free Withdrawal Amount.
Example: How your money can grow
Your money is not actually invested in any index, but may earn interest based on the index’s performance:
- The cap rate is the maximum amount of interest that can be credited during a specific index term.
- The participation rate is an upper limit percentage increase used to calculate the interest that will be credited for a specific index term(s).
- A floor offers 100% downside protection in the event of a market loss.
If the index decreased by any amount at all,
you lose nothing—whether you chose the cap rate or participation rate, you are protected by the floor.
If the index increased by 3%,
an amount that is less than the cap rate of 4%, the interest credited would be 3%. Interest credited with the participation rate would be 30% of the 3% increase, which equals 0.9%.
If the index increased by 20%—
which is greater than the cap rate of 4%—the interest credited would be 4%. Interest credited with the participation rate would be 30% of the 20% increase, which equals 6%.
In this example, the cap rate is 4%, the participation rate is 30%, and the floor is always 0%.
This is a hypothetical example for illustrative purposes only. It does not reflect a specific annuity or an actual account value. Actual cap rates and participation rates may be higher or lower and produce different results.
The power of tax deferral with SurePath
See how a tax-deferred investment of $100,000 can grow over time when compared to a taxable investment.
Income Growth | Amount |
---|---|
Tax Deferred | $265,330 |
Tax Deferred (after tax) | $225,651 |
Taxable | $210,837 |
Assumptions: This hypothetical example is for illustrative purposes only. It assumes 5% annual growth for 20 years. The tax-deferred (after tax) account assumes 24% in taxes are withdrawn in a lump sum at the end of 20 years. The taxable account assumes 24% in taxes are withdrawn at the end of every year. Tax-deferred accounts are subject to ordinary income tax at the time of withdrawals. The hypothetical example does not reflect a specific annuity or an actual account value. It does not include any fees or expenses which would lower performance.
Clients purchasing an annuity through a tax-advantaged retirement plan (such as an Individual Retirement Account or 401(k) plan) will get no additional tax advantage through the annuity itself.
