Sentinel Life Personal Choice Annuity 7
Description
The Sentinel Security Life Personal Choice Annuity 7 is a single premium, fixed annuity with a seven-year rate guarantee. After seven years, owners have a 30-day window to withdraw, transfer, or renew their full policy value. If no action is taken, a new term will begin.
This contract, offered with a higher initial rate, allows consumers to choose which riders they want added to it. If surrender free interest, 10% account value, and death benefit withdrawals are added to the contract, they will all reduce the yearly rate.
Qualified and non-qualified funds are accepted. Rates and terms differ in California, Florida, and Minnesota. Residents of those states can contact us for more details.
