Transamerica Offers New Withdrawal Schedule for Retirement Income Products
Transamerica Life Insurance Company has introduced an enhanced withdrawal schedule for its Retirement Income Choice 1.2 and Retirement Income Choice 1.4 riders.
Reported by
PLANADVISER staff
New clients between ages 65 to 74 who begin taking withdrawals can now receive up to 5% of their withdrawal base annually for life, and those ages 75 and older can receive up to 6% of their withdrawal base.
A press release said the new percentages—a full point higher than previously available in some cases—”can help financial professionals aid their clients in gaining financial security in retirement.”
The Retirement Income Choice 1.2 and 1.4 riders continue to offer The Power of 12—an automatic reset based on clients’ best “monthiversary” value each year—during both accumulation and withdrawal periods. Both riders also still offer compounding 5% withdrawal base growth based on the previous year’s highest “monthiversary” value.
