Sentinel Personal Choice Annuity 7
Description
This 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.
Offered with a higher initial rate, this contract allows consumers to choose which riders they want added to the contract. Surrender free interest, 10% account value, and death benefit withdrawals will all reduce the yearly rate if added to the contract.
Qualified and non-qualified funds are accepted. Rates and terms differ slightly in California, Florida, and Minnesota.
