Symetra Life Insurance Company Introduces Enhancements to its Custom Fixed Annuity

    REDMOND, Wash., April 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Symetra Life Insurance Company
has introduced enhancements to its custom fixed annuity.  The product is a
modified single premium fixed annuity with an interest rate guarantee period
of 1, 3 or 5 years.  The enhancements include:

    -- Minimum interest rate of 2.0% during the seven-year surrender charge
       schedule.
       After the first seven years, the minimum interest rate drops to 1.5%.
    -- Additional first-year interest: clients receive additional interest of
       1.50% for purchases up to $50,000 and 2.00% for purchases over $50,000.
    -- Additional deposits can be made for the first 12 months of contract, an
       increase of six months.

and additional interest returns on principal," says Symetra vice president of
Retirement Services Scott Bartholomaus.  "This product assures clients that at
a minimum, their money will never earn less than 2.0% compounded per year for
the first seven years."
