There are actually some pretty compelling liquidity features that come with this variable annuity, especially given the fact that this is supposed to be the VA in this series from Pru that is more geared towards those with longer time horizons.

First, owners can withdraw 10 percent per year without any fees applied from the withdrawal charge schedule.

These discretionary withdrawals would be subject to the 10 percent federal income tax penalty if they are made prior to the person being 59.5 years old.

Second, full or partial withdrawal of funds is allowed if the VA owner is terminally ill or confined to a nursing home for more than 90 days.

There are 4 variable annuities that are part of the Premier Retirement VA series from Prudential.

The 4 VAs are labeled B series, C series, L series and X series.

The thing that makes this variable annuity--the X series--different from the other 3 is the purchase credits.

Credits are applied to any payments made during the first 4 years that the person owns the annuity.  Right now, the purchase credit level is 6 percent for annuity owners who are younger than 82, and 3 percent for people age 82-85.

The premium purchase credits allow annuity owners to build their contract value faster than they would be able to otherwise.

The flipside of the purchase credits is an expense structure and surrender charge schedule that is a bit higher thant the other VAs in this series.
