Prudential IncomeFlex®

Guarantee Your Income Base Will Grow Today and Never Run Out Tomorrow!
Will you have guaranteed lifetime income for a more secure retirement? As a participant in a retirement plan offering Prudential IncomeFlex®, you can help ensure that the money you've saved for retirement will keep growing as you approach retirement, and can never run out after you retire.

IncomeFlex lets you keep investing in the market, but without the threat that losses may impact your income.

And it provides a guaranteed stream of income—based on the Income Base that you accumulate under your plan—that will continue for the rest of your life.

While You're Saving 1
IncomeFlex helps you build an Income Base from your retirement plan that helps you lock-in a lifetime stream of income. This income base is determined by taking the highest of three values:

Guaranteed Income Growth Value — You're protected against market downturns. Your income base is guaranteed to never grow less than five percent each year, regardless of investment performance.

Highest Birthday Value — You can capture potential market upswings. On each of your birthdays IncomeFlex will compare your current Market Value against those from previous birthdays. Whenever your Market Value is higher, your Highest Birthday Value will be reset to the higher value.

Market Value — If it's higher than the other values at the time you decide to lock-in your Guaranteed Annual Withdrawal Amount, IncomeFlex will offer you the Market Value of your Income Base.

While You're Taking Income 2
Your IncomeFlex protection doesn't stop once you start taking withdrawals. It continues for the rest of your life.

Guaranteed Income — You can withdraw five percent of your final Income Base every year—for the rest of your life—even if investment performance causes your IncomeFlex Market Value to go to zero. And even if your guaranteed withdrawals cause the Income Base to run out.

Income May Increase — If the Market Value of your IncomeFlex funds ever increases above your Income Base on any of your birthdays, your lifetime income may increase.
Spousal Benefit 3
You can ensure income for your spouse with IncomeFlex by electing the spousal option.
