Product Information

The Certainty Select 10 is a deferred multi-year guarantee annuity issued by EquiTrust Life Insurance Company.

The current 10 year guarantee period annual yield is 5.60% (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 Certainty Select 10 has a full penalty free withdrawal window after 10 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 with the first contract year, and each year thereafter, this annuity provides interest only (cumulative) as the penalty free withdrawal amount.

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.

EquiTrust Life Insurance Company is rated “B++” by A.M. Best, was founded in 1966, and has over $25.2 billion in total assets.
