At Delaware Life, we’re committed to providing consistent and competitive renewal rates on our fixed index annuities, even as market conditions evolve. The majority of our contracts have been renewed at rates equal to or better than the original terms. We also offer a rate lock policy to ensure you receive the more favorable of the initial or renewal rate. While future rates aren’t guaranteed, they will never fall below the minimums outlined in your contract.
