What is the strongest guarantee in a Fixed Annuity?


   
It is the Minimum Guarantee!
We still have agents with clients that have products with a 4.00% minimum guarantee. Most of those clients are out of the surrender charge period and renewing annually at 4.00%. The 4.00%'s are long gone but we still have several 3.00% minimum guarantee products and high first year and base rates. Most believe rates are going to go up, if they do that is great. However. if rates continue down at least you can guarantee your client a 3.00% annual floor rate, that beats most if not all CD rates of today. Our 3.00% minimum products have terms for 4-10 years and first year rates as high as 8.75%.  Hurry, the companies are lowering these minimum guarantees or dropping the products all together.

 Feel free to contact us for specific product information. 800-373-9697

SPIA to Fund LTC

“Would I like to decrease the taxes I pay each year?” If your answer is “YES,” look at your most recent Form 1040.

Millions of Americans are paying taxes each year on interest income that they are not using. An annuity can be an ideal solution for those of us who want to lower our current income tax liability and don’t anticipate needing or using the interest generated in the near future, for instance, in the next five years. Each individual’s personal financial situation and goals are different; be sure to consult your trusted financial professional.

Immediate Annuities From SPIAQuote.com

Excellent article from The New York Times on positioning SPIA(s) that you may find useful:

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/11/business/economy/11stra.html

Here are the Highlights:

  • When markets began to tumble 2 years ago, retirees faced the very real prospect of running out of money
  • Academic researchers have long seen SPIA(s) as a solution
  • Case Example: 65 year old woman retires with $100k in her retirement portfolio

    -Expected to live 20 more years according to Social Security Administration

    -Could receive $578/mo for 20 years invested in Treasuries based on early Oct yields

    -Would have NO money left after 20 years, but a 1 in 3 chance she'd live 5 or more years
     

    • SPIA solves the longevity issue by guaranteeing a higher return until death
    • May get a higher income from a riskier portfolio of stocks, etc, but still no lifetime income guarantee
      -Especially, if we have down years similar to 2008

SPIA(s) are the rare case where academic researchers have a more positive view of a product than most investors, so there's a great opportunity to educate clients on the benefits of a SPIA.

Look to Genworth's SL Income Provider for:   Income you cannot outlive with flexibility from our Commutation & Income Advance features (see brochure).
