The interest rate credited on the initial purchase payment is guaranteed for the duration of the initial guaranteed period selected. Only one period may be selected per contract. After the initial guaranteed period expires, and on all subsequent contract anniversaries, a renewal rate will be declared by Pacific Life and is guaranteed for one contract year. The renewal rate will never be lower than the minimum guaranteed interest rate stated in the contract.
The interest rate credited will depend on the total of all purchase payments received.
The breakpoints are:
- Less than $50,000
- $50,000—$99,999
- $100,000—$249,000
- $250,000 and more
If a purchase payment received after issue causes the amount of the total purchase payments (minus withdrawals) to exceed the current breakpoint, the crediting rate may be increased. Not all premium breakpoints may be available for all initial guaranteed periods.
