American General has recognized that consumers wanted long-lasting protection and more financial control during uncertain economic times – and has introduced the Lifestyle Income Solution Rider on their Secure Lifetime GUL product. This rider offers clients the ability to take guaranteed income, without affecting the No-Lapse Guarantees on the death benefit. The cash value begins to accumulate as early as year ten of the policy, which offers flexibility to access cash sooner while still maintaining a death benefit guarantee.
Key Selling Points:
- Clients can receive guaranteed income while still living
- Pay out of a monthly guaranteed income stream for 10 years
- The option to receive a living benefit to help supplement retirement income
- Only requirement to access the benefit is to meet the waiting period (i.e. clients do not have to qualify for benefit)
- Client can use income stream for anything
- Client can direct when to start and stop the income stream
- No additional underwriting required
Sweet Spots / Target Market:
- Lifestyle Income Solution is based on the guaranteed face of the contract (not current cash)
- Can be used to provide a monthly income benefit without the accident and health triggers of other chronic/critical illness riders
- Can be used as a backstop to hedge the risk of outliving retirement assets due to (unplanned) longevity
