Withdrawals without Charges
Although variable annuities are designed for the long-term investor, clients have immediate access to their money with no withdrawal charges. Withdrawals are subject to minimum amounts.

 

Advisory Fee Withdrawals3
You can withdraw advisory fees directly from your client's contract. When paid from nonqualified (previously taxed) contracts, these withdrawals are not treated as taxable distributions and will not reduce optional benefit values if the fee does not exceed an annual rate of 1.50% of the account value4 during the calendar year. Withdrawals from the contract to pay advisory fees will reduce the account value.

 

Systematic Withdrawals
Clients can stay invested in the markets and set up a withdrawal schedule of their choosing.

 

Preauthorized Withdrawals
Minimum of $250 per withdrawal. If deposited electronically into a checking or savings account, minimum withdrawal is $100.

 

Protected Lifetime Income
Pacific Advisory Variable Annuity has both built-in and optional features designed to make sure your client's money lasts a lifetime.

Clients can choose to annuitize all or a portion of their account value to create income for their life, two lives, or for a specified period. Please see the prospectus for more information on electing annuity income payments and the available annuity income options.

Clients can elect Portfolio Income Protector, an optional benefit available for an additional cost, to help address certain financial risks in retirment and provide protected income for life or two lives. See the "Optional Living Benefits" section to learn more.

 

3Advisory fee withdrawals are limited to 1.50% of the account value for the calendar year if a living benefit is elected. If a living benefit is not elected, withdrawals for advisory fees that exceed an annual rate of 1.50% of the account value during the calendar year may reduce the death benefit amount provided by the optional death benefit by more than the actual excess withdrawal amount. (Source: PLR 201946001, IRC Section 72).

4The account value is the annuity contract value. 

 

If death occurs before annuity income payments begin, the death benefit options below are payable upon the death of the first owner (in all states except CA). For contracts in CA or owned by a non-natural owner (for example, a trust), the death benefit is payable upon the death of the first annuitant.

 

Standard Death Benefit: Clients can leave a death benefit to their beneficiaries equal to the account value.

 

Optional Return of Investment Death Benefit:  Available for an additional cost of 0.15%, beneficiaries receive the amount of the account value or the total of all purchase payments5 into the account—whichever is greater. Maximum issue age is 85.

 

5The total purchase payment amount is adjusted proportionately for withdrawals and for advisory fee withdrawals in excess of 1.50% of the account value during the contract year. There will be no adjustment for advisory fee withdrawals that are less than or equal to the annual rate of 1.50% of the account value during a calendar year.

 

Minimum Purchase Payments 

Nonqualified: $25,000 initial; $250 subsequent

Qualified: $25,000 initial; $50 subsequent

For aggregate purchase payments totaling more than $1 million, contact Pacific Life for approval.

Maximum Annuitant/Owner Issue Age: 90 (85 in New York)

State variations may apply.

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

The value of the variable investment options will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

Net fund expenses reflect any fee waivers or expense reimbursements. For more information, see the applicable fund prospectus.

Expenses are subject to change, and there is no guarantee that the investment adviser will continue to waive and/or reimburse fund fees beyond their current terms as outlined in each fund prospectus.
