EquiTrust Income Benefit Riders upgraded
In April, EquiTrust increased rollup rates and withdrawal percentages on several of our fixed index annuities (FIAs) that have an Income Benefit Rider (IBR). Our IBRs pay lifetime income even if the contract's Accumulation Value is depleted, helping clients secure guaranteed1 income for life. Get details on the competitive IBR features available on these products.
MarketMax IndexTM and MarketForce Bonus IndexTM are now available in California. These rate buy-up FIAs enhance growth potential with boosted cap and participation rates on rate buy-up index accounts in exchange for an annual buy-up account fee. Because there's a California commission variance for MarketForce Bonus IndexTM, all commission schedules have been updated. Learn more about MarketMax IndexTM and MarketForce Bonus IndexTM.

Sales idea recap
Sales ideas sent to you in April issues of SALES WEEK:
Your clients with IRAs will be receiving Form 5498 (IRA Contribution Information) soon. The forms will be mailed to IRA holders on or before May 31. The information on Form 5498 reports contributions (including any catch-up contributions) to Traditional IRA and Roth IRA accounts attributed to the tax year 2022. Reminder: contributions to SEP and SIMPLE plans are reported on the 2022 Form 5498 for the calendar year in which they are received by the Company, meaning the form will reflect contributions received in 2022, including contributions made in 2022 for 2021, but not including contributions made in 2023 for 2022.
