Axa Equitable expands series.

Axa Equitable Life Insurance Co. has announced enhancements to its Accumulator series of variable annuities. On certain guaranteed minimum income benefit and death-benefit riders, it has added a 6.5% annual roll-up feature to its 6% roll-up, which is calculated as a benefit base separate from account value. If the account value is higher on an anniversary date, the owner can reset the benefit base to that amount.The minimum death-benefit rider provides the greatest of the final account value, the highest account value on any contract anniversary, or the roll-up benefit base. Both the GMIB and GMDB are subject to additional charges and certain conditions.
