Pru Improves Annuity Living Benefit

The new enhancements, available March 19, include a guaranteed minimum account balance, which allows owners to receive a guaranteed minimum account value on the 10th anniversary of the benefit effective date, regardless of market performance, provided no withdrawals are taken during the first 10 years.

Prudential is also offering an enhanced protected withdrawal value option, which provides contract owners who have not made any withdrawals before the tenth anniversary with an additional value upon which to base their lifetime withdrawals. The benefit becomes available on the tenth anniversary of the contract.
