On June 1, 2021, we’re launching new versions of our Symetra Accumulator 4.0 and Protector IUL 3.0 products. The persistency bonus beginning in year 11 will be changing for both products—to 10% for Accumulator IUL, and 20% for Protector IUL. All bonuses remain guaranteed. Additional changes affecting both products include:
- The ability to reduce face amounts to 25% of the original specified amount (currently 50%).
- Participating loan rates reduced to 5.00% (currently 5.50%).
Please review our updated Accumulator IUL (PDF) and Protector IUL (PDF) fact sheets for complete product information.
