Protect Your Principal

Your principal is guaranteed by Security Benefit Life Insurance Company, which has been helping people build financial security for more than 120 years.

Interest Guaranteed
The Total Interest Annuity credits interest rates that are guaranteed for a year, regardless of market conditions. First year contributions earn an additional bonus interest rate.* The guaranteed minimum interest rate (GMIR) allows you to save for retirement with confidence, knowing that if future rates decline - you'll still earn at least the GMIR.
