For Many Index Annuity Buyers, a Premium Bonus Has Its Place!
An index annuity with a premium bonus may make good sense for clients who:
- May benefit from penalty-free access for wealth transfer, annuitization or income rider withdrawals
- Seek higher penalty-free withdrawals as a bridge to Social Security
- Seek recovery from an underperforming product
- Anticipate modest market results going forward

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. See the historical growth of 10% bonus with a 3% point-to-point cap compared to no bonus and 5% point-to-point cap, for both the best and worst S&P 500 10-year periods for the past 20 years.
