For years, Prudential Annuities has done what other VA providers can only dream of. With the industry’s only daily lock-in guarantee, we help your clients in The Retirement Red Zone capture account highs every day for retirement income purposes. And we add guaranteed compounded growth to their income base every day that grows until their first lifetime withdrawal. ® With nightly monitoring of each individual contract that no other provider’s been able to duplicate, we help protect your clients’ income base against market volatility like no other annuity can. And with our unsurpassed commitment to the VA industry, we’ll be there to guarantee your clients retirement income for as long as they live. If your VA with an optional living benefit can’t do all that, your clients could be leaving growth for retirement income on the table. Learn how nobody can meet the VA challenge every day like Prudential Annuities. Call our National Sales Desk at 1-877-668-2854 or go to DailyLockIn.com/List to request our sales tool about today’s most compelling VA benefit. Variable annuities are suitable for long-term investing and designed to create guaranteed income in retirement. They’re subject to investment risk. Investment returns and the principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s units, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original investment. Withdrawals or surrenders may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges. Withdrawals and distributions of taxable amounts are subject to ordinary income tax and, if made prior to age 59½, may be subject to an additional 10% federal income tax penalty. Withdrawals can reduce the account value and the living and death benefits. Our variable annuities are available for an annual insurance cost of 0.55% to 1.85%. Underlying investment fees also apply. HD Lifetime Income is available as an optional benefit for an additional fee. Optional benefits have certain investment, holding period, liquidity, and withdrawal limitations and restrictions. All guarantees, including optional benefits, are backed by the claims-paying ability of the issuing company and do not apply to the underlying investment options. “Account highs” refers to the account value that is locked in for determination of the retirement income base only. The actual account value may lose value and is not guaranteed.
