Income Driver

Protected From Market Risk.
Ready to Grow.
Predictable Guaranteed Lifetime Income.

 

Your customers can leverage a selection of product features:

Rate Boosters

The optional Rate Booster strategies provide greater interest crediting potential1 and are available on all indexed crediting options. Policyholders may:

  • Allocate between the boosted and non-boosted strategies.
  • Reallocate annually into or out of boosted strategies.

Only funds allocated to Rate Booster strategies pay a 1% annual charge deducted from its Accumulation Value and rates are subject to change.

Guaranteed Lifetime Income Rider (GLIR)

The GLIR rider ensures that customers have the option to receive predictable retirement income that they can never outlive, while leaving them in control of their remaining Accumulation Value.

Income Driver clients must select either Standard GLIR or No-Charge GLIR at issue. The annual cost for the Standard GLIR is 1% of the Benefit Calculation Base deducted from the Account Value.

Standard GLIR

GLIR is designed to kickstart retirement income with a 25% upfront bonus to the Benefit Calculation Base (BCB), which determines how much future lifetime income can be paid.

How it works

  • The BCB equals premium paid at issue and is increased by a 25% bonus.
  • The BCB rolls up at an 10% simple roll-up rate until the earlier of election of income or the 10th policy anniversary.
  • At election of income, the BCB is multiplied by a Guaranteed Withdrawal Percentage based on the annuitant’s attained age to determine lifetime income.

This GLIR has a 1% annual charge based on the BCB deducted from the accumulation value

No Charge GLIR

How it works

  • The Benefit Calculation Base (BCB), equals premium paid.
  • The BCB rolls up at an 10% simple roll-up rate until the earlier of election of income or the 10th policy anniversary.
  • At election of income, the BCB is multiplied by a Guaranteed Withdrawal Percentage based on the annuitant’s attained age to determine lifetime income.

GLIR Income Doubler

The GLIR Income Doubler doubles lifetime income for up to 5 years when it is needed most.

To qualify for the Income Doubler, the annuitant must be unable to perform two of the six Activities of Daily Living permanently,

Activities of Daily Living

  1. Bathing
  2. Toileting
  3. Transferring
  4. Dressing
  5. Continence
  6. Eating

AND

  • Policy must be in force for at least 2 years.
  • Policy Accumulation Value is greater than zero.
  • Income is elected on single life.
  • No Excess Withdrawals taken in current policy year.
  • Annuitant resides in United States.

When these requirements are met, annuitant income is doubled until the earlier of 5 years since Doubler activation, or the depletion of Accumulation Value.

GLIR Increasing Income Option

Choice of Level or Increasing Income at activation allows for annual income increases as a hedge against inflation.

Level
Income is received at a level rate for life.

Increasing
The initial income is less than level income, due to the Guaranteed Withdrawal Percentage being 1% lower at all ages.

  • Income increases by 2.5% compounding until the Accumulation Value is depleted.
  • After depletion income remains at highest level thereafter.*

*Assuming no excess withdrawals.

Your customers can choose among five interest crediting strategies to fuel their annuity!

Declared Crediting

A basic yet effective approach, in which interest is credited daily at a declared effective annual rate that we set at the start of each one-year crediting period.

S&P 500® Monthly Sum Cap

This index also tracks the world’s premier equities benchmark, but its credit is calculated based in part on the 12 monthly changes in the index during the year. Unlike the point to point crediting method, we apply the Cap to each monthly change, then total the 12 months (both positive and negative) to determine the credited amount.

  • Offers strong interest potential during market upturns.
  • Cap is determined at the start of the account year.

S&P 500® Index

The S&P 500® is widely regarded as the best single gauge of the U.S. equities market. This world-renowned index includes a representative sample of 500 leading companies in leading industries of the U.S. economy. Although the S&P 500® focuses on the large-cap segment of the market, it is also an ideal proxy for the total market. Available as a 1-year or 2-year point-to-point crediting strategy.

US Fundamental Balanced Index

This index aims to minimize volatility through a blend of U.S. equities, U.S. treasuries, and cash. The asset classes are rebalanced daily to seek to minimize risk and the mix of U.S. equities is revised quarterly. This index was created and is owned by PIMCO. Available as a 1-year or 2-year point-to-point crediting strategy.

Global Balanced Index

This index aims to enhance risk-adjusted returns by tracking a blend of global asset classes: equities, bonds, and commodities. The index composition is rebalanced among asset classes monthly based on the SG Sentiment Indicator. This indicator is made up of six cross-asset market risk measures. The overall allocation is then reviewed daily to reduce market exposure in case of high volatility. This index was created and owned by Société Générale. Available as a 1-year or 2-year point-to-point crediting strategy.

Which product is best for your client?

That depends on your client’s specific short- and long-term accumulation and income goals. Customize each client’s strategy among four unique products with a wide selection of features. Each product is available as a 7-year or 10-year policy. Zenith Growth is also available as a 5-year policy.

SG has licensed use of the SG Marks to Life Insurance Company of the Southwest (“LICS”) for use in a fixed indexed annuity offered by LICS (the “Fixed Indexed Annuity”). SG's sole contractual relationship with LICS is to license the Index and the SG Marks to LICS. None of SG, S&P, or other third party licensor (collectively, the “Index Parties”) to SG is acting, or has been authorized to act, as an agent of LICS or has in any way sponsored, promoted, solicited, negotiated, endorsed, offered, sold, issued, supported, structured or priced any Fixed Indexed Annuity or provided investment advice to LICS. No Index Party has passed on the legality or suitability of, or the accuracy or adequacy of the descriptions and disclosures relating to, the Fixed Indexed Annuity, including those disclosures with respect to the Index. The Index Parties make no representation whatsoever, whether express or implied, as to the advisability of purchasing, selling or holding any product linked to the Index, including the Fixed Indexed Annuity, or the ability of the Index to meet its stated objectives, including meeting its target volatility. The Index Parties have no obligation to, and will not, take the needs of LICS or any annuitant into consideration in determining, composing or calculating the Index. The selection of the Index as a crediting option under a Fixed Indexed Annuity does not obligate LICS or SG to invest annuity payments in the components of the Index. THE INDEX PARTIES MAKE NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WHATSOEVER, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE), WITH RESPECT TO THE INDEX OR ANY DATA INCLUDED THEREIN OR RELATING THERETO, AND IN PARTICULAR DISCLAIM ANY GUARANTEE OR WARRANTY EITHER AS TO THE QUALITY, ACCURACY, TIMELINESS AND/OR COMPLETENESS OF THE INDEX OR ANY DATA INCLUDED THEREIN, THE RESULTS OBTAINED FROM THE USE OF THE INDEX AND/OR THE CALCULATION OR COMPOSITION OF THE INDEX, OR CALCULATIONS MADE WITH RESPECT TO ANY FIXED INDEXED ANNUITY AT ANY PARTICULAR TIME ON ANY PARTICULAR DATE OR OTHERWISE. THE INDEX PARTIES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE (WHETHER IN NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) TO ANY PERSON FOR ANY ERROR OR OMISSION IN THE INDEX OR IN THE CALCULATION OF THE INDEX, AND THE INDEX PARTIES ARE UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO ADVISE ANY PERSON OF ANY ERROR THEREIN, OR FOR ANY INTERRUPTION IN THE CALCULATION OF THE INDEX. NO INDEX PARTY SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY PARTY FOR ANY ACT OR FAILURE TO ACT BY THE INDEX PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE DETERMINATION, ADJUSTMENT OR MAINTENANCE OF THE INDEX. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, IN NO EVENT SHALL AN INDEX PARTY HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY DIRECT DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS OR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF NOTIFIED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. No Index Party is a fiduciary or agent of any purchaser, seller or holder of a Fixed Indexed Annuity. None of SG, S&P, or any third party licensor shall have any liability with respect to the Fixed Indexed Annuity in which an interest crediting option is based is on the Index, nor for any loss relating to the Fixed Indexed Annuity, whether arising directly or indirectly from the use of the Index, its methodology, any SG Mark or otherwise. Obligations to make payments under the Fixed Indexed Annuities are solely the obligation of LICS. In calculating the performance of the Index, SG deducts a maintenance fee of 0.50% per annum on the level of the Index, and fixed transaction and replication costs, each calculated and deducted on a daily basis. The transaction and replication costs cover, among other things, rebalancing and replication costs. The total amount of transaction and replication costs is not predictable and will depend on a number of factors, including the leverage of the Index, which may be as high as 200%, the performance of the indexes underlying the Index, market conditions and the changes in the market states, among other factors. The transaction and replication costs, which are increased by the Index's leverage, and the maintenance fee will reduce the potential positive change in the Index and increase the potential negative change in the Index. While the volatility control applied by the Index may result in less fluctuation in rates of return as compared to indices without volatility controls, it may also reduce the overall rate of return as compared to products not subject to volatility controls.
