This example is based on a customer aged 55 who invests in the Plan on a Single Life basis and starts taking an income at age 65.
The Income Reward option is chosen. The Income Reward is added for every year income is not taken from the Plan. So, as income is delayed for 10 years, we will pay the Income Reward for the first 10 years that income is taken from the Plan.
The percentage rates shown below are a percentage of your Income Base, which is a notional amount we use to work out your Guaranteed Income Payments. It is different from the Plan Value. If you were to request any payments out of your Plan other than Guaranteed Income Payments (e.g a lump sum such as a Tax-Free Lump
Sum, any payment(s) in respect of Adviser Charges, tax charges or any Income Withdrawal(s)), we would use the Plan Value to work out the amount of the payment(s).
Any such payments from a Fund linked to a Lifetime Income Benefit would proportionately reduce the Income Base and any future Guaranteed Income Payments.
The Plan Value can be locked-in as the new Income Base on any

1 On a Plan anniversary, if the Fund Value is higher than both the amount invested and the previous Income Base, the growth is ‘locked-in’ and the Income Base increases. This means that future Guaranteed Income
Payments will increase too.
2 The 3.75% rate is based on starting to take income at age 65. The Guaranteed Income Rate that applies depends on your age (or if the Joint Life option is chosen, the age of the younger of you and your spouse/ civil partner) at the date you start to take income. The full list of rates is available from your financial adviser. You must be aged at least 55 to start taking income from the Plan.
3 Lump sums and Income Withdrawals can be taken at any time from the Income Start Date (minimum age 55).
