Illustration Disclosure1
Thank you for your interest in a Fixed Indexed Annuity from Oceanview Life and Annuity Company (Oceanview). This document is intended to provide you with a summary of the Contract, including benefits and limitations.
What is a Fixed Indexed Annuity?
Oceanview’s Fixed Indexed Annuity is a Single Premium Indexed Deferred Annuity which is primarily intended for customers seeking a long-term retirement savings vehicle.
This annuity may be suitable for use as an IRA or other qualified account as well as an attractive alternative to CDs or other taxable vehicles. The Harbourview Fixed Indexed Annuity is not a security. Its premium is never directly invested in any chosen external index that is part of the Index Strategy, nor any stock or equity investment. External market indices may not include dividends paid on the underlying stocks, and therefore may not reflect the total return of the underlying stocks.
What if I decide I do not want my annuity Contract after it is delivered?
Upon receipt of the annuity contract, the contract may be returned within the free look period for an unconditional refund of the amount paid for the contract. The free look period is the amount of time you have to request a refund. The actual free look period is stated on the cover page of your contract and is a minimum of 20 days.
How will interest be credited to my Contract?
Your annuity offers multiple interest crediting strategies. Your premium will be allocated to the strategies based on the allocation percentages you select. The following is a high-level overview of different interest crediting strategies available on fixed indexed annuities, some or all of which may be offered with your annuity.
Fixed Strategy
Premium that is allocated to the Fixed Strategy will be credited with a fixed interest rate that is declared by the Company and guaranteed for each Contract Year. This interest rate can change each Contract Year but is guaranteed to never be less than the Minimum Guaranteed Interest Rate shown on your contract’s annuity schedule. Interest is compounded daily and is credited based on a fixed interest rate that is declared annually. This strategy is not linked to the movement of an external market index. Occasionally, the Company may, at its sole discretion, offer a special introductory effective rate for this crediting strategy. This introductory rate is guaranteed for the first Contract Year only. After that point, the rate is subject to change each Contract Year, and is likely to be less than the introductory rate offered at the time the contract is issued.
Index Strategies
Premium that is allocated to the Index Strategies will receive interest that is calculated in reference to the upward movement, if any, of an external market index, modified by limitations such as: a Cap Rate, an Annual Spread, or a Participation Rate. You are not purchasing stock or directly investing in the stock market. An external market index is a benchmark or relative measure of performance. By linking to an external market index, you select the measurement by which your interest credit will be calculated. The interest credits for each Index Strategy will be determined in accordance with the terms of the Endorsement for each strategy and are guaranteed to never be less than zero. The cap or participation rate shown for some of the indexed crediting strategies illustrated here is for the first contract year only. The rate for subsequent years is illustrated more in line with comparable rates, which are lower. These rates are not guaranteed and are subject to change.
We may offer other Index Strategies after an annuity’s issue date; at which time the contract owner may reallocate all or part of the Contract Value to on the next eligible Contract Anniversary. If an Index is discontinued or if the Index Strategy is discontinued or if the calculation of an Index is changed substantially, we may substitute a comparable Index subject to approval by the appropriate regulatory agency. We will also notify the you allowing you to choose new Allocation Percentages at the start of the next Contract Year. If a strategy is terminated, the contract owner may elect to have your funds allocated to one or more of your Contract’s strategies. If no allocation is elected, all funds may be transferred to another strategy chosen by the Company.
Illustration Disclosure2
If the index price declines, will I receive negative interest credits?
No. Regardless of market conditions, the interest credits for any Index Term Period can never be less than zero.
Can I transfer the value of my Contract among the available strategies?
Yes. You may request to reallocate Account Allocation percentages between the Fixed Rate Strategy and Index Strategies effective on the next eligible Contract Anniversary. A request for reallocation may only be applied to an Index Strategy at the end of the Index Strategy period. Account Allocation percentages must be in whole percentages and must total 100%.
Do I have access to the value of my Contract before the Annuity Date?
Yes, the Harbourview Fixed Indexed Annuity provides access to the value of your Contract in several different ways. However, any Contract values accessed during the first ten Contract Years may also be subject to a Surrender Charge and Market Value Adjustment, depending on the surrender charge schedule elected at the time of application. Please note that Withdrawals taken from an Index Strategy during an Index Term Period will not be credited with any potential interest credits for that term.
Withdrawal Charges and Market Value Adjustments will not apply to any Free Withdrawals, required minimum distributions, or death benefit proceeds. Taxable amounts withdrawn from your annuity prior to age 59 ½ may be subject to a 10% IRS penalty in addition to ordinary income tax. Please consult with a tax advisor prior to utilizing these provisions.
Free Withdrawals
After the first Contract Year, you may make multiple withdrawals totaling 10% of the Contract Value on the prior Contract Anniversary without incurring a Surrender Charge. The amount available for Free Withdrawal is not cumulative. Any amount eligible for Free Withdrawal in a Contract Year that is not taken may not be carried over to the next Contract Year nor will it be available to be taken free of the Surrender Charge in a later Contract Year.
Required Minimum Distribution
If you purchase this annuity with "tax-qualified" money (like an IRA), tax law and IRS rules may require you to take "required minimum distributions" from your Contract each year. Following the first contract anniversary date, any required minimum distributions taken from your Contract will not be subject to Withdrawal Charges or Market Value Adjustments.
What happens on the Contract’s Annuity Date?
On the Contract’s Annuity Date, you will receive the entire value of your Contract in the form of annuity payments. There are a number of payout options from which to select. Regardless of the payout option selected, once the amount of the payments is determined, your payments are guaranteed and can never be changed. You should review the available payout options with your tax advisor to select the most appropriate one based on your financial situation. Under no circumstances will you be assessed a Withdrawal Charge or Market Value Adjustment on or after the Annuity Date. If you do not select a payout option, the payout option will default to the contractually selected option, depending on whether you have a single Annuitant or Joint Annuitants.
What if I decide to surrender (cancel) my Contract?
If you decide to surrender your Contract, the Company will pay you the Contract’s Cash Surrender Value. On the date of surrender, the Cash Surrender Value is equal to the greater of:
1. The Contract Value less any Surrender Charges and Market Value Adjustment, if applicable; or
2. The Minimum Surrender Value.
What is a Surrender Charge?
A Surrender Charge is the cost you incur if the Contract is surrendered or if any amount withdrawn exceeds the Free Withdrawal amount during the Surrender Charge period. The Surrender Charge on these amounts is applied at the time of the surrender or withdrawal. Any amount withdrawn above the Free Withdrawal amount will be multiplied by the applicable percentages below, which determines the amount of the charge. Below is an example of the Schedule for a Harbourview Fixed Indexed Annuity with a 10-year Surrender Charge Rate. This schedule will vary depending upon the surrender charge you select at the time of application and may also vary based on the issuing state or jurisdiction.
Illustration Disclosure3
10-Year Surrender Charge Schedule
Contract year 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
Percentage 9% 9% 8% 7% 6% 5% 4% 3% 2% 1% 0%
In part, Surrender Charges allow the company to invest your money on a long-term basis and generally credit higher yields than possible with a similar annuity of shorter term.
What is a Market Value Adjustment?
Your contract may have a Market Value Adjustment Rider as a policy provision. A Market Value Adjustment (MVA) is an adjustment made to your Contract at the time of a surrender or withdrawal, based on the changes in interest rates since you purchased your annuity.
The MVA may increase or decrease the amount of the Withdrawal or Cash Surrender Value of your Contract depending on the change in interest rates. If interest rates have increased, the MVA will be negative. If interest rates decreased, the MVA will be positive.
A positive MVA will increase your withdrawal amount or Cash Surrender Value. A negative MVA will decrease your withdrawal amount or Cash Surrender Value. In calculating the MVA applicable to any surrender or a Withdrawal in excess of the Free Withdrawal amount, we will multiply the Withdrawal amount that is subject to the MVA by the applicable Market Value Adjustment Factor. The Market Value Adjustment factor is applied to the Contract Value with the following Market Value Adjustment amount (MVA formula may vary by issue state):
Contract Value multiplied by (I – J) multiplied by N divided by 12, where:
I = Value of the External Index Rate as of the Contract Issue Date;
J = Value of the External Index Rate as of the date of withdrawal; and
N = Number of whole months from surrender to end of Surrender Charge Period.
Are there any riders that are included on my policy?
Yes, there are two waiver of surrender charge riders that are included on each policy. They allow for money to be withdrawn from your contract surrender charge free during the period prior to the contract’s annuity date. The covered events are as follows
Nursing Home Confinement
In the event that the contract Owner (or spousal beneficiary in the case of a continuation) is confined to a nursing home for at least 90 consecutive days or for a total of 90 days if there is no more than a 6-month break in the confinement surrender charges will be waived on any withdrawal. Confinement must be prescribed by a qualified physician and medically necessary, and proof must be furnished to the Company during confinement or within 90 days after such confinement.
Terminal Illness
In the event that the contract Owner (or spousal beneficiary in the case of a continuation) is terminally ill and not expected to live more than 12 months surrender charges will be waived on any withdrawal. Terminal illness must be diagnosed by a qualified physician after the contract’s issue date, and proof of terminal illness must be provided to the Company.
Are there any tax consequences if I take Withdrawals from my annuity?
Income tax on interest credited to an annuity is deferred until withdrawals are taken. When you surrender or take a Withdrawal from your Contract, you may be subject to federal and state income tax on a portion or the entire amount withdrawn. In addition to income tax, you may be subject to a 10% federal penalty tax if you surrender or take Withdrawals from your annuity before age 59 ½. When annuity payments are elected, a portion of each payment will be taxable and a portion will be treated as a non-taxable return of the Contract’s cost basis. Distributions from a qualified annuity (e.g. IRA, 401(k), etc.) may also be taxable. You should consult with a tax advisor or attorney regarding the applicability of this information to your own situation.
What happens if the Owner dies before the Annuity Date and while the Contract is in force?
If the Owner (or Primary Annuitant if the Owner is not a natural person) dies before the date on which annuity payments begin, the Company will pay a Death Benefit to the named Beneficiary or Beneficiaries. That Death Benefit will be the greater of: The Contract Value (without any Surrender Charge or Market Value Adjustment); or The Minimum Surrender Value.
The Death Benefit will not be subject to a Withdrawal Charge or Market Value Adjustment. After the Annuity Date, payments will be consistent with the Settlement Option selected. Taxes may apply.
Illustration Disclosure4
What happens if the Annuitant dies on or after annuity payments begin?
If the Annuitant dies on or after the date Annuity Payments begin, We will continue to make payments of any remaining and payable portion of the Annuity Payment(s) to the Beneficiary upon Our receipt of Due Proof of Death.
Other Important Information about Your Annuity
This annuity is not a bank or credit union deposit, obligation or guarantee, and is not FDIC or NCUA/NCUSIF insured.
The guarantees provided by annuities are subject to the financial strength and claims paying ability of the issuing company.
Under current tax law, the Internal Revenue Code already provides tax deferral to qualified money, so there is no additional tax benefit obtained by funding a qualified contract, such as an IRA, with an annuity.
Harbourview Fixed Indexed Annuity is subject to state approval. Product features, options and availability may vary by state.
This is a brief description of your annuity and is meant for informational purposes only. It is not individualized to address any specific investment objective. It is not intended as investment or financial advice. Please refer to your Contract for any other specific information including limitations, exclusions and charges.
We deduct Premium taxes, if applicable, imposed on us by a federal, state, local, or other government agency. Some states collect these taxes on Premium Payments; others collect at annuitization. Since we pay Premium Taxes when they are required by applicable law, we may deduct them from Your Contract when we pay the taxes, when you withdraw your contract value, when you start to receive income payments or when it pays a death benefit to your beneficiary. The Premium tax rate varies by state or municipality and currently ranges from 0 - 3.5%.
We do not provide tax, financial or investment advice, or act as a fiduciary in the sale or service of the product. Consult a tax advisor or financial representative about your specific circumstances.
