Corebridge Power 7 Protector Plus Income overview
The Power 7 Protector Plus Income earns interest from the performance of a market index, yet your money is never invested in the market itself. When the index falls during a crediting period, the credit is zero rather than a loss.
Its best S&P 500 1-year point-to-point cap is currently 4.60% at a $100,000 premium, one of 17 crediting strategies on the contract. Every strategy's current terms are in the menu below.
The tradeoff is access and upside. Withdrawals above the free amount face a surrender charge for 7 years, and index credits are limited by caps, participation rates, or spreads.

A cap sets a ceiling on the credit. A participation rate credits a percentage of the index gain. A spread subtracts a fixed amount before crediting the rest. Strategy fees, where shown, are charged whether or not the strategy credits.

Getting your money out
The contract allows 10% out without a surrender charge.
The surrender charge starts at 8.00% in year 1 and steps down to 2.00% in year 7. Those charges apply to the amount you withdraw above the free allowance.
A market value adjustment also applies during the surrender period. It can raise or lower an early withdrawal depending on how interest rates have moved since the contract was issued.

Rider availability and pricing vary by state. Waiver-type benefits such as nursing home or terminal illness provisions may exist beyond what our rate feed reports, so confirm with the carrier.
Who this fits
This contract fits money that can stay put for 7 years and a saver who wants a floor under a portion of retirement savings. It suits dollars that would otherwise sit in bonds or CDs but can accept a range of outcomes in exchange for more upside.
It does not fit an emergency fund or money with a known near-term spending date. A buyer who wants full market upside will find the caps and participation rates limit strong years, and withdrawals before age 59½ can carry a 10% IRS early withdrawal penalty on top of ordinary income tax.
