American Classic 5
Multi-Year Guarantee Annuity
The American Classic 5 is a deferred multi-year guarantee annuity issued by American Life & Security Corp.
The current 5 year Effective Annual Rate* is 5.53% (see Rate Details below). This is the guaranteed annual yield, including bonuses if applicable, for the initial guarantee period term, up to the first penalty free full withdrawal window. The American Classic 5 has a full penalty free withdrawal window** after 5 years.
During the time in which the annuity is subject to surrender penalties, there are policy provisions that allow partial access on a penalty free basis. Beginning in the second contract year, this annuity provides up to 10% (noncumulative) of the contract value as the penalty free withdrawal amount that may be withdrawn from the annuity each contract year.
This annuity also waives withdrawal penalties upon death. Your named beneficiary(ies) will receive a death benefit equal to the full accumulation value. A beneficiary may choose to receive their death benefit in either a lump sum or select an available annuitization option.
Details on additional penalty waivers can be found in the Penalty Free Withdrawal Provisions section below.
American Life & Security Corp is rated “B++” by A.M. Best, was founded in 1960, and has over $2.7 billion in total assets.
