Sales Week: Longevity risk? Heck no! Not with guaranteed lifetime income

LONGEVITY RISK MAY KEEP YOUR CLIENTS UP AT NIGHT

Fixed index annuities with an optional Income Benefit Rider could be the cure 

They may not know it by its official name, but your clients may lose sleep over longevity risk.

² Guarantees based on the claims-paying ability of EquiTrust Life Insurance Company.

³ Annuitization prior to the Income Date is not offered in TX.

⁴ Payments will continue at the same amount if Income Withdrawals were based on two lives. Payments will be recalculated based on the spouse’s age if the original Income Withdrawals were based on one life. Spouse may include a domestic partner in OR (in some cases does not include spousal continuation). Spousal continuation may not be elected if Single Life Income Withdrawals were elected and the Accumulation Value is zero. Spousal continuation may not be elected if the surviving spouse is younger than age 50 at the time of the Owner’s death and the Owner had been taking Single Life Income Withdrawals.

⁵ For Inherited IRAs, the IBR does not continue upon the death of the beneficiary/owner. Withdrawals before age 59½ may result in a 10% IRS penalty tax.
