Definition of GMDB Benefit Types
Return of premium: provides the greater of account value or total deposits made to the contract less any partial withdrawals and assessments, which is
referred to as "net premiums." In general, there is no lock in age for this benefit, however for some contracts, the GMDB reverts to the account value
at a specified age, typically age 75.
Reset: provides the greater of a return of premium death benefit or the most recent five-year anniversary (prior to lock in age) account value adjusted for
withdrawals. For most contracts, this GMDB locks in at age 86 or 90 and for others the GMDB reverts to the account value at age 75, 85, 86 or 90.
Ratchet: provides the greater of a return of premium death benefit or the highest "anniversary" account value (prior to age 86) adjusted for withdrawals.
Currently, there are three versions of ratchet, with the difference being based on the definition of anniversary: monthaversary - evaluated monthly,
annual - evaluated annually, and five-year - evaluated every fifth year. The majority of the business is an annual ratchet.
Rollup: provides the greater of a return of premium death benefit or premiums adjusted for withdrawals accumulated at generally 5% simple interest up to
the earlier of age 86 or 200% of adjusted premiums. There are two variations of this benefit. For certain contracts, this GMDB locks in at age 86 and
for others the GMDB reverts to the account value at age 75.
Combo: provides the greater of annual ratchet death benefit or the rollup death benefit. This benefit locks in at either age 81 or 86.
Earnings enhancement: provides an enhancement to the death benefit that is a specified percentage of the adjusted earnings accumulated on the contract
at the date of death. There are two versions of this benefit, one where the benefit expires at age 86 and a credit of 4% of account value is deposited into
the contract and the second where the benefit doesn't have an end age, but has a cap on the payout and is paid upon the first death in a spousal situation.
Both benefits have age limitations. This benefit is paid in addition to any other death benefits paid under the contract.
