Exciting Updates on Max Accumulator+ IUL – Effective July 2, 2018
Max Accumulator+ is a flexible Index universal Life (IUL) product tied to index market performance that is focused on:
- Supplementing retirement
- Long-term wealth accumulation
- Potential tax-advantaged income
- Death-benefit protection
It also incorporates a diverse combination of cash value enhancement & access features.
See what’s changing:
- Decrease in premium load of 2% in first 10 years – making the product priced more competitively against other cash value accumulation IULs!
- Increase distributions from 2.5% to 3.5% on average – a lower premium load that may result in higher cash values, therefore potentially increasing the distributions available from the policy’s cash value!
- We’re making changes to our index Strategies:
- Replacing the Participation Rate Account with the Global Blend Participation Rate Account – It’s underlying index is the PIMCO Global Optima Index that is equity focused for strong growth potential, rules-based, and is designed to benefit from a diversified range of global equity and U.S. bond markets.
- Updating the name of the “Core Cap Rate Account” to the “High Bonus Rate Account” for better alignment with its underlying strategy.
