LIFETIME WITHDRAWAL ADJUSTMENT FACTOR (“LWAF”)

The LWAF is the factor set on the Election Date used in the calculation of the Adjusted Lifetime Withdrawal Percentages. The LWAF determined on the Election Date is based on the difference between the Adjustment Election Rate and Adjustment Base Rate, i.e. B-A

 

Where:       
  A   =    The Adjustment Base Rate
  B   =    The Adjustment Election Rate

To determine the Adjusted Lifetime Withdrawal Percentages, you add the LWAF to the Lifetime Withdrawal Percentages effective on the Issue Date.
