Envision a better retirement for your clients

Deliver uncapped growth potential1, higher income and help clients outpace inflation with the MassMutual EnvisionSM Variable Annuity with the MassMutual RetirePaySM living benefit rider.

Over time, clients not only receive a higher withdrawal rate, but also the opportunity to capture more market growth, which provides a higher lifetime income payment2.

  • The longer they’re invested, the larger their benefit base can be.
  • RetirePay’s roll-up is included within the withdrawal rate. The longer they wait, and the older they are, the higher their rate.

1 When you elect RetirePay, your investment allocations are restricted so you may not experience the full risk or return potential of the market. Some types of annuities limit the potential you can earn. They allow some growth, but only up to a limit, often known as a “cap rate”. A Variable Annuity is different in that there is no limit to your earnings in accordance with the performance of the underlying investments- they are “uncapped”.

2 Postponing withdrawals may positively impact the Annual Lifetime Benefit Amount (e.g., because of higher Withdrawal Rates when you are older). However, if you postpone taking withdrawals, you may limit the value of this feature because your remaining life expectancy shortens as you age.

Products & Rates

NEW: MassMutual Envision and RetirePay

Our flexible premium deferred variable annuity is backed by MassMutual’s 170+ years of financial strength, with options that can guarantee income for a client’s life or for a specified period of time1. RetirePay is an optional living benefit rider which provides guaranteed lifetime income and is available with MassMutual Envision for an additional fee.

RetirePay Rates*

The roll-up is included within the withdrawal rate, so the longer your clients wait to take income — and the older they are — the higher their withdrawal rate.

*Must be accompanied or preceded by the current MassMutual Envision Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement.
