Get to Know the Optional Rate Booster Strategies

Rate Booster strategies provide greater interest crediting potential and are available on all indexed crediting options. Policyholders may:

  • Allocate between the boosted and non-boosted strategies.
  • Reallocate annually into or out of boosted strategies. Only funds allocated to Rate Booster strategies pay a 1% annual charge deducted from its Accumulation Value and rates are subject to change.

*Rate Booster only benefits interest crediting during periods where interest is credited to that strategy. If no indexed interest is credited for that period, Rate Booster will have no effect. The charge for Rate Booster occurs for every crediting period regardless of whether interest is credited.
