(b) Fixed Account Investment Option Available Under the Contract
Premiums and Accumulated Value may be allocated to or transferred to the Fixed Account. We reserve the right to limit allocations or transfers to and from the Fixed Account . Amounts held in the Fixed Account are invested with our General Account. The interest rates for amounts in the Fixed Account depend on the date of allocation or transfer to the Fixed Account. We guarantee that the initial interest rate for each amount allocated or transferred to the Fixed Account will be effective for at least twelve months, and subsequent interest rates will not be changed more often than once every twelve months. The effective annual interest rate will never be less than the Fixed Account Guaranteed Minimum Interest Rate shown in your Contract. At our discretion, we may credit interest in excess of the guaranteed interest rate. For the current interest rate, please call our Service Center at 1-800-847-4836. The date of allocation or transfer is the date that interest begins to accrue. Interest is compounded daily. The Fixed Account includes any amounts in the DCA Fixed Account. Interest guarantees are subject to Thrivent’s claims-paying ability. The amount transferred from the Fixed Account in any Contract Year may not exceed the greater of $500 or 25% of the Accumulated Value in the Fixed Account, excluding any Accumulated Value in the DCA Fixed Account, at the time the first transfer is made in that Contract Year.
