A rider is a provision of the annuity with potential benefits and features that should never be confused with the annuity itself. Before evaluating the benefits of a rider, carefully examine the annuity to which it is attached.

Products, riders, endorsements, features, terms and conditions may vary by state and may not be available in all U.S. states or any U.S. territory.

Annuity contracts have terms and limitations for keeping them in force. Contact your financial professional or insurance producer for complete details.

Guarantees and benefits are subject to the claims-paying ability of Symetra Life Insurance Company.

Symetra Edge Elite has fixed and indexed accounts. Interest credited to the indexed accounts is affected by the value of outside indexes. Values based on the performance of any index are not guaranteed. The contract does not directly participate in any outside investment.

Indexed interest is calculated and credited (if applicable) at the end of an interest term. Amounts withdrawn from the indexed account before the end of an interest term will not receive indexed interest for that term.

The fixed account interest rate, indexed account interest caps, participation rates and trigger rates are reset at the end of each interest term.

Subsequent indexed interest caps and trigger rates may be higher or lower than the initial caps and trigger rates, but will never be less than the guaranteed minimums stated in the contract.

Subsequent fixed account interest rates and indexed participation rates may be higher or lower than the initial interest and participation rates, but will never be less than the minimums stated in the contract.

If the contract is being funded with multiple purchase payments (e.g., 1035 exchanges), funds will be held and the contract will not be issued until all purchase payments have been received. Interest is not credited between the dates the purchase payments are received and the date the contract is issued.

The purchase payment will begin to earn interest (if any) when the contract is issued.

Except for the JPMorgan ETF Efficiente® 5 Index and the Franklin Large Cap Value 15% ER IndexSM, the performance of an index does not include the payment or reinvestment of dividends in the calculation of its performance.

It is not possible to invest in an index.

Symetra reserves the right to add, remove or replace any indexes or crediting methods subject to applicable regulatory approval. If any index is discontinued or if the calculation of any index is changed substantially, Symetra reserves the right to substitute a comparable index.

Withdrawals may be subject to federal income taxes, and a 10% IRS early withdrawal tax penalty may also apply for amounts taken prior to age 59½. Consult your attorney or tax professional for more information.

Tax-qualified contracts such as IRAs, 401(k)s, etc., are tax-deferred regardless of whether or not they are funded with an annuity. If you are considering funding a tax-qualified retirement plan with an annuity, you should know that an annuity does not provide any additional tax-deferred treatment of earnings beyond the tax-qualified plan or program itself. However, annuities do provide other features and benefits such as death benefits and income payment options.

Contracts not owned for the benefit of natural persons (e.g., contracts owned by trusts, corporations or certain other entities) are generally not treated as annuities for federal income tax purposes and any interest are taxed as ordinary income in the current year. Exceptions may apply. Prospective Owners that are not natural persons should consult their tax professionals before purchasing the Contract.

Neither Symetra Life Insurance Company nor its employees provide investment, tax, or legal advice or endorse any particular method of investing. Please consult your attorney or tax professional before making savings and investing decision. The contract provides a guaranteed minimum value upon surrender, death, or annuitization. Please see your contract or ask your financial professional or insurance producer for a current rate sheet for more details, or contact us at 1-800-796-3872.
