Guarantee selection⁴

Your client can change their Guarantee once per calendar year by submitting written notification, unless such a change would result in the new Guaranteed Amount being less than 75% of the sum of Deposits adjusted for withdrawals.

Once the Guarantee is changed, the Deposit amount and the Guaranteed Amount will be reset.

The value of the Units attributed to the Contract as at the Cut-Off Time on the Market Day that notification is received will become the new Deposit amount.
The Market Day that notification is received will become the new Valuation Date of the first Deposit and therefore the new Contract Anniversary Date.
If the new Guarantee is Helios 2 – 100/100 i, the Maturity Date will be set using the new Valuation Date of the first Deposit.
The Guarantee Helios 2 – 75/100 – GLWB is currently not available. The GLWB Bonus Base and GLWB Protected Value will be set at the new Deposit amount.

⁴ The Owner must select one of the 3 Guarantees currently available under this Contract. The Owner may change the Guarantee of their Contract, once per calendar year, by submitting written Notification, unless such a change would result in the new Guaranteed Amount being less than 75% of the sum of Deposits adjusted for withdrawals. The Contract must satisfy all Deposit requirements of the selected Guarantee.
