MaxGrowth 10

Fixed Indexed Annuity

Focused on maximizing the potential for growth

MaxGrowth 10 Fixed Indexed Annuity is designed for individuals looking to maximize growth, while also protecting their principal, who are unlikely to need their money for at least 10 years. In addition, MaxGrowth 10 has a bonus option where a Premium Bonus is added to your contract value at issuance and earns interest in parallel with your premium. With MaxGrowth, you have the flexibility to select from a robust fixed rate, four powerful index crediting strategies offered in collaboration with industry leaders, or a customized combination tailored to your unique needs. When markets grow, you gain, but should markets decline, your principal remains protected.

How Does MaxGrowth 10 Work?
When you enter into a contract with American Life and pay an upfront initial premium, you are able to allocate your money among four different index account options and a fixed rate. This allocation can change year to year to meet your changing needs. Your money grows based on the performance of your selected index/indices while your principal remains protected from loss. You aren’t taxed until you make a withdrawal so your money can grow at its full potential. After the first year, you have access to 5% of the Contract Value on the last contract anniversary date or your RMD – whichever is greater. If you’d like to access your full Contract Value after year five, you can take advantage of the 5x5 Annuitization option and your full Contract Value will pay out over the next 5 years without Surrender Charges, Recovery Amount or MVA being applied. The 5x5 Annuitization option is only available if no withdrawals other than RMDs have been made. You can also continue the contract until the 10-year period ends and realize the full potential of MaxGrowth. After 10 years you can withdraw all or some of your account without penalty.
More Options and Flexibility
MaxGrowth offers a bonus option which will credit your initial contract value with a Premium Bonus.

You also have the option to add additional premium during the first 6 months of the contract up to the amount of the initial premium.

A 5x5 Annuitization feature provides access to the full Contract Value after 5 years – paid over 5 years. The 5x5 Annuitization option is only available if no withdrawals other than RMDs have been made.

The Nursing Home Benefit Rider provides you with access to the full Contract Value should a need arise.
