​

Why should I buy it?

• It’s simple to understand. CBLA-5 offers a guaranteed interest rate for five years.*

• 10% free withdrawals. Policyowners may withdraw up to 10% of the accumulated contract value each year after the first year, without a withdrawal charge.

• It provides peace of mind. CBLA-5 includes a nursing home waiver: if a covered condition**occurs to the annuitant, the policy owner may withdraw up to 50% of accumulated contract value without a withdrawal charge.

• RMD friendly. If a policyowner is required to take a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) on a tax-qualified annuity, withdrawal charges are waived on any RMD regardless of the contract year and amount.

*Guarantees are backed by the claims-paying ability of Colorado Bankers Life Insurance Company. ** Refer to policy for definitions of covered conditions.
