Newswire: Income Benefit Riders get an upgrade

INCOME BENEFIT RIDERS NOW
OFFER UPGRADED BENEFITS

Optional IBRs can help clients boost future income over time

One way clients can secure guaranteed income for life is through a fixed index annuity (FIA) that offers an Income Benefit Rider (IBR). Several EquiTrust FIAs feature an IBR that pays lifetime income even if the contract's Accumulation Value is depleted.
