Non-bonus index annuities typically feature higher rates for greater long-term accumulation potential.  A bonus index annuity gives buyers an early boost on accumulation values.

 

Circumstances that may support a bonus index annuity:

• Shorter-term, penalty-free access for wealth transfer, annuitization, or income rider withdrawals

• 10% penalty-free withdrawals may be higher in early years (bridge to Social Security benefits)

• Recovery from underperforming product

• Low index performance

• Low interest rates
