We are pleased to announce an increase to the credited rate for the Smoothed Return Diversified Account (SRDA), which will increase to 3.85% on January 1, 2025 for Genesis 9 and 10 universal life insurance policies.
| SRDA Credited Rate |
| 2024 | 2025 |
| 3.55% | 3.85% |
The credited rate is based on the declared rate of the Smoothed Return Diversified Fund, which increases by 30 bps to 5.10%, less a management fee of 1.25%.
The Fund’s declared rate is based on the organization's long-term return expectations as well as the returns of the Fund's assets to which the organization applies a smoothing formula. This formula spreads out the main fluctuations in returns (both positive and negative) and provides a low-volatility credited rate from year to year.
The Smoothed Return Diversified Fund document (F13-1166A) will be updated and published in March 2025 to include the Fund’s returns and asset mix as of December 31, 2024.
