Optional Benefits

Pacific Index Edge offers an optional guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit that can provide guaranteed lifetime income beginning at age 59½, or an optional beneficiary benefit that can help protect and enhance the legacy your clients leave to their beneficiaries.

Interest Enhanced Income Benefit

Interest Enhanced Income Benefit provides guaranteed withdrawals for life, regardless of the amount of interest that is earned on the contract. It also provides opportunities to increase retirement income through an Annual Credit, which allows your client's Protected Payment Base to grow by the amount of interested credited to the contract plus a 5.5% roll-up for up to 10 years. This credit is not added to the contract value and is not a rate of return or growth rate.

Fee: 1.00% of the Protected Payment Base (up to a maximum of 1.50%) deducted annually for both the Single Life and Joint Life options.

Interest Enhanced Death Benefit (Not Available in CA)

Interest Enhanced Death Benefit can enhance the legacy your clients leave to loved ones by providing guaranteed growth of the Death Benefit Base, no matter how the market performs. The Death Benefit Base is guaranteed to grow by the amount of interest credited to the contract, plus an additional 2% roll-up, compounded annually, for 20 years, up until age 85, or in New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Utah, and Washington, up to a maximum roll-up amount of 250% of total purchase payments (adjusted proportionately for withdrawals), whichever is earlier.

Fee: 0.40% of the Death Benefit Base deducted from the contract value annually.

A beneficiary benefit is referred to as a death benefit in the contract summary.

Only one optional benefit may be purchased per contract.

If either of the following occur during the withdrawal charge period, an MVA may apply (in addition to any applicable withdrawal charges):

Withdrawals in excess of 10% of the prior anniversary's contract value (10% of purchase payments in the first year).
Annuitization of the contract value.

For more information about the MVA formula, please refer to the MVA endorsement that accompanies the contract. View daily index yields for the J.P. Morgan 10-Year U.S. Liquid Index here.

There is no MVA assessed on withdrawals made after the withdrawal charge period has expired. Please note, the MVA does not apply in CA.

Withdrawals without Charges

Withdrawals are permitted 30 days after contract issue. In the first contract year, the maximum is 10% of the total purchase payments. For each subsequent contract year, the maximum is 10% of the contract value as of the prior contract anniversary.

In addition, the withdrawal charge and the MVA will be waived for:

Required minimum distribution (RMD) withdrawals (only if calculated by Pacific Life).
Withdrawals after the first contract year if the owner or annuitant has been diagnosed with a terminal illness (life expectancy of 12 months or fewer; 24 months in KS). Not available in CA.
Withdrawals after 90 days of contract issue if the owner or annuitant has been confined to an accredited nursing home for 30 days or more, as long as the nursing home confinement began after the contract was issued. Not available in CA or MA.
Withdrawals after 90 days of contract issue if the owner or annuitant has been confined to an accredited facility that provides skilled nursing care and/or long-term care services for 30 days or more, and the confinement began after the contract was issued. Not available in CA or MA.
Beneficiary benefit proceeds.
Annuity income payments (available after the first contract year; an MVA may apply).
Withdrawals up to the Lifetime Annual Withdrawal Amount under the optional Interest Enhanced Income Benefit.

Note: For Index-Linked Options, no interest is earned or credited on amounts withdrawn prior to the end of the contract year.

Guaranteed Minimum Surrender Value

Clients are guaranteed to receive the greater of the contract value (minus applicable optional benefit charges, a market value adjustment (MVA), and/or withdrawal charges) or the Guaranteed Minimum Surrender Value.

The Guaranteed Minimum Surrender Value is equal to 87.5% (91% in IA, MN, MO, NH, NJ, PA, UT, and WA) of purchase payments minus prior withdrawals and applicable optional benefit fees¹, accumulated at a fixed interest rate, which is set at contract issue.
Calculated at full withdrawal, death, or annuitization.
Guaranteed for the life of the contract.

¹Optional benefit fees are not deducted from the Guaranteed Minimum Surrender Value in AL, IA, MN, MO, NC, NH, NJ, OH, PA, UT, and WA.

Fixed Account Option

Each Fixed Account Option term is one contract year.
Interest credited daily.
The initial rate is guaranteed for the contract year.
Renewal rates are declared annually and will never be lower than the minimum guaranteed interest rate stated in the contract.

Index-Linked Options

Interest may be credited at the end of each contract year depending on the amount of change in an index price.

On each contract anniversary, guaranteed rates, renewal caps, declared interest rates, participation rates, and spreads will be declared for the subsequent index term.

Interest Breakpoints

Breakpoints apply for all Interest-Crediting Options and are based on the initial purchase payment.

Less than $100,000
$100,000 and more

If a subsequent purchase payment results in the total payments (minus withdrawals and applicable withdrawal charges) exceeding $100,000, the higher breakpoint will be used in determining the interest credited at the end of the initial term. Once a higher breakpoint is reached, subsequent withdrawals during the initial term will not reduce the breakpoint used to determine interest credited at the end of the initial term. After the initial term, a higher breakpoint will be used to determine interest credited for renewal terms if the contract anniversary value exceeds $100,000.

Transfers

Transfers are effective on a contract anniversary, but can be requested up to 30 days after the contract anniversary.
At the end of each contract year, clients may transfer the value from the Fixed Account Option or any of the Index-Linked Options to another Index-Linked Option and/or the Fixed Account Option.

Clients may convert the contract to annuity income payments one year after contract issue.

The amount annuitized is equal to the greater of the contract value minus applicable optional benefit charges and MVA or the Guaranteed Minimum Surrender Value.
Pro rata index-linked interest is credited to the contract value upon annuitization.
Available one year after contract issue. An MVA may apply.

The annuity provides the standard death benefit. If death occurs before annuity income payments begin, a beneficiary benefit equal to the greater of the contract value or the Guaranteed Minimum Surrender Value is paid upon the death of the first owner or the last annuitant. Pro rata index-linked interest is credited to the contract value on the Notice Date (the date Pacific Life receives the beneficiary benefit claim in good order).

Premium: Limited premium. 1035 exchange/transfer requests must be submitted with the application and the funds received within 60 days after contract issue.

Please note: Additional cash purchase payments up to $100,000 are permitted within the first 60 days of contract issue. Interest will be credited proportionately based on the date the additional purchase payment is received and the index return from the date the additional purchase payment is received to the end of the index term. This period may be less than the time frames listed above.

Minimum Purchase Payment: $25,000 (qualified and nonqualified).

Maximum: $1 million; total purchase payments greater than $1 million require Pacific Life home-office approval in advance.

Fixed indexed annuities are not securities and do not participate directly in the stock market or any index, so they are not investments.

Annuity withdrawals are taxable as ordinary income when distributed and may be subject to a 10% additional federal income tax if withdrawn before age 59½. For nonqualified contracts, an additional 3.8% federal income tax may apply on net investment income. Withdrawals will reduce the contract value and the value of the beneficiary benefits, and also may reduce the value of any optional benefit.

Rates, renewal caps, declared interest rates, participation rates, and spreads will never be set below the minimum or above the maximum stated in the contract. Pacific Life determines, at its discretion, rates, renewal caps, declared interest rates, participation rates in excess of the minimum guaranteed in the contract, and spreads below the maximum guaranteed in the contract.
