Many registered annuities offer four main features: (1) a selection of investment options, (2) tax-deferred earnings accumulation, (3) guaranteed lifetime payout options, and (4) death benefit options. Before investing, consider the annuity’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. This material is informational only and is not investment advice. If you need advice regarding your financial goals and investment needs, contact a financial advisor. All guarantees are backed by the claims-paying ability of MEMBERS Life Insurance Company (MEMBERS Life) and do not extend to the performance of the underlying accounts which can fluctuate with changes in market conditions. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Annuity contract values, death benefits and other values fluctuate based on the performance of the investment options and may be worth more or less than your total purchase payment when surrendered. Withdrawals may be subject to surrender charges, and may also be subject to an interest adjustment. The interest adjustment can have a positive or negative impact on contract values, depending on how interest rates have changed since the contract was issued. Surrender charges range from 0% to 9% during the initial index period. You may not invest directly in an index. Rate caps vary by index and by risk control account and can be adjusted annually on risk control account anniversary, subject to a minimum rate cap of 1%. Withdrawals of taxable amounts are subject to ordinary income tax and, if taken before age 59½, may be subject to a 10% federal tax penalty. If you are considering purchasing an annuity as an IRA or other tax-qualified plan, you should consider benefits other than tax deferral since those plans already provide tax-deferred status.
