Important Information About The Transamerica Structured Index Advantage Annuity
Registered Index-linked Annuities are long-term, tax-deferred vehicles designed for retirement purposes and are not for everyone. They are subject to possible loss of principal and earnings due to market fluctuation, investment risks, and as a result of fees and charges under the policy including surrender charges, other transaction charges, and periodic charges.
Before investing, consider a registered index-linked annuity investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. Go to the prospectus containing this and other information. Please read carefully.
The Policy is designed primarily for investors who expect to remain invested in an Allocation Account until the end of its Crediting Period and may be appropriate for you if you have a long investment time horizon. This Policy is not designed for people who expect to take early or frequent withdrawals.
This product has no explicit fees. Additional fees may apply to optional benefits including the Credit Advantage fee of 1.25%. The Credit Advantage fee applies only to the Index Account Options where the Credit Advantage is included. Surrender charge schedule 8%, 8%, 7%, 6%, 5%, 4%, 0% based on years since each premium payment.
At the end of a Crediting Period for an Allocation Account, you may choose to reinvest in the same Allocation Account or transfer the policy value into that Allocation Account or another Allocation Account. Growth Opportunity rates may be higher or lower upon renewal.
All guarantees, including optional benefits, are based on the claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company.
You cannot directly invest in an index and the annuity does not participate directly in any stock or equity investments.
If you invest in an Index Account Option, the Index Account Option’s Downside Protection may not fully protect you from loss. Your losses could be significant. A Growth Opportunity Type may limit your participation in positive Index performance, limiting the upside potential of your investment.
Transamerica reserves the right to add or remove any Index and/or Index Account Option(s). Not all Indices and/or Index Account Option(s) will be available at all times. This tool may not include all available Index Account Options. Please consult with your financial professional or the prospectus.
