How the Income Guarantee Works The Market Value & The Income Base
Income guarantees help your clients accumulate assets and convert them into guaranteed lifetime income by tracking two key values:

The Market Value
The Market Value is a daily value that is not guaranteed and fluctuates based on fund performance. If permitted by the terms of the retirement plan, the Market Value can be passed on to beneficiaries as a death benefit.
The Income Base
The Income Base is used to calculate guaranteed values and is set when the guarantees are activated. Like the Market Value, the Income Base also increases with contributions. In addition, on the participant's birthday, the Income Base increases to reflect any gains from fund performance. If declining markets result in negative performance, the Income Base is protected.

How the Income Guarantee Works 'Locking-In' the Guaranteed Benefit
Web Content Viewer
Actions
On the day a participant decides to "Lock-In" his or her guaranteed benefit, the participant's Market Value and Income Base are compared (as of the previous business day). If the Market Value is higher, the Income Base automatically adjusts upward to match. A participant's Income Base is used to determine his or her lifetime annual withdrawal amount. Prudential Retirement guarantees that the participant can withdraw this amount each year for the rest of his or her life. Unlike the Market Value, which is available for withdrawals permitted by the retirement plan, the amount reflected as the Income Base is never available as a withdrawal.
Even if either declining market performance or the participant's annual guaranteed withdrawals reduce the Market Value to zero dollars, Prudential Retirement will continue to pay his or her lifetime annual withdrawal amount for as long as he or she lives (and the participant's spouse thereafter, if elected.

The hypothetical example above is for illustration purposes only. It does not reflect on actual experience with the product, an actual account value or the performance of any investment rate of return.
Guarantees are based on the claims-paying ability pf Prudential Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company (PRIAC), and are subject to certain limitations, terms, and conditions. Withdrawals or transfers (other than transfers between Active IncomeFlex Target Funds) proportionately reduce guaranteed values prior to locking-in. After lock-in, withdrawals in excess of the Lifetime Annual Withdrawal Amount will reduce future guaranteed withdrawals proportionately and may even eliminate entirely.
Additional Information about IncomeFlex Target
How much does IncomeFlex Target cost?
In addition to investment management fees, activating the IncomeFlex Target guarantee also triggers an annual 1% guarantee fee. This fee will reduce the fund's investment return and is reflected in the Market Value on a daily basis.
When does this fee take effect?
When the guarantee is activated.
Can participants change their mind and cancel the IncomeFlex Target guarantee?
Yes. Participants can transfer some or all of what they've invested in the Day One IncomeFlex Target Funds into another investment option in the plan at any time. No additional fees or charges will apply, but any guarantees would be forfeited.
Is there a way to also provide income to a participant's spouse?
Yes, married participants can elect the Spousal Benefit. This allows for the surviving spouse to continue receiving guaranteed lifetime income for the remainder of his/her life.
How much guaranteed income can participants withdraw each year?
As shown in the chart below, the amount participants can withdrawal is based on their age when they "Lock-In" and whether they elect to guarantee benefits for just themselves or their spouse or civil union partner. If they elect the Spousal Benefit and their spouse or civil union partner is younger than they are, then their spouse's or civil union... partner's age will be used to determine this percentage.
| Age at Lock in | Benefit for Participant |
Benefit for Participant & Spouse* |
|---|---|---|
| 55-64 | 4.25% | 3.75% |
| 65-69 | 5.00% | 4.50% |
| 70+ | 5.75% | 5.25% |
*Based on the age of the younger participant or spouse.
When can participants “Lock In”?
Participants can “Lock In” anytime after they turn 55, provided their Lifetime Annual Withdrawal Amount is a minimum of $250.
Can a participant withdraw more in one year than their lifetime annual withdrawal amount?
Yes, IncomeFlex Target is flexible. But, excess withdrawals will reduce a participant’s lifetime annual withdrawal amounts in subsequent years. Note: If a participant’s Market Value falls to zero dollars due to excess withdrawals, the lifetime annual income amount will no longer be received.
What happens to the IncomeFlex guarantee if a participant leaves the Plan?
Participants may be able to transfer or roll over their IncomeFlex guarantee into an individual retirement account that invests in a variable annuity contract available through Prudential Retirement. This contract may have substantially different fees, investments, and provisions affecting the guarantees. If a participant rolls any portion of their IncomeFlex Market Value into anything other than a specific Prudential-issued variable annuity, all Prudential IncomeFlex guarantees will immediately cease.

The target date is the approximate date when investors plan to retire and may begin withdrawing their money. The asset allocation of the target date funds will become more conservative until the date which is ten years prior to the target date by lessening the equity exposure and increasing the exposure in fixed income investments. The principal value of an investment in a target date fund is not guaranteed at any time, including the target date. There is no guarantee that the fund will provide adequate retirement income.
A target date fund should not be selected solely based on age or retirement date. Before investing, participants should carefully consider the fund's investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses, as well as their age, anticipated retirement date, risk tolerance, other investments owned, and planned withdrawals.
The stated asset allocation may be subject to change. It is possible to lose money in a target date fund, including losses near and following retirement. Investments in the Funds are not deposits or obligations of any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by any governmental agency or instrumentality.
