For the Future Flex Preferred

Rates are subject to change without notice. The first-year declared interest rate is guaranteed for the first contract year only and is separate from the guaranteed minimum rate of 2.00% and 1.65%, respectively, which is effective for all contract years. Effective annual yields will be lower if withdrawals are more than annually. After the first contract year, annual deposits are limited to $1,000,000. During the surrender charge period, withdrawals exceeding 10% will be subject to a surrender charge that may be higher than fees associated with other types of financial products and may reduce principal. This is a summary of the contract provisions. Please refer to the contract for details of surrender charge schedule, benefits and exclusions. Contract Form Series: ICC22_FPDA_CON_(01-22), FPDA_CON_(01-22)_FL, ICC22-SPIA_CON_(01-22), SPIA_CON_(01-22)_FL

The GBU Life Scholarship Awards support students in college, trade programs, non-college programs, and graduate school, helping them achieve their dreams, setting them on a career path and realizing life goals. Since its founding, the GBU Foundation has awarded 4,500 scholarships and educational grants totaling more than $3.2 million. In 2025, 215 members received $226,000 to support their two‑year, four‑year and graduate studies. Here’s a look at where the rubber meets the road — as we check in on past grantees to see how their scholarship awards have helped them stay on course, where they are now, and where they hope to be in the future.
