What is this concept?

An Annuity Alternative, at times referred to a Modified Endowment Contract "MEC", is a life insurance contract that pays an income tax-free death benefit to your clients and accumulates income tax-deferred as long as your client does not withdraw the funds.

Is an Annuity Alternative right for your client?

The Annuity Alternative (or MEC) is a concept you should consider if your client has a lump sum of investment funds, that they are not using for everyday living expenses. The Annuity Alternative concept may be especially appropriate if your client intends on to their children or grandchildren as beneficiaries of their estate. Funds invested in an annuity will not pass to your client's beneficiary's income tax-free. The Annuity Alternative concept is funded by a life insurance contract, therefore a death benefit will pass to your client's beneficiary's income tax-free*.

Is my client required to pass a Life Insurance Physical to qualify?

Yes. Your prospect must be insurable. An APS will be required for ages 50-75. However, when included at initial policy issue, the PUA Rider face amount is not included for Underwriting Requirement limits.

Does your client really need more life insurance?

Life insurance has typically been used to protect family needs. An Annuity Alternative is designed to meet the needs of wealth transfer between generations. You should give serious consideration to making sure as much of your clients accumulated estate passes to your clients beneficiaries income tax-free as is possible. An Annuity Alternative is an ideal concept to promote tax-efficient wealth transfer between generations within your client's family.

FLAGSHIP LIFE II - Participating Whole Life* (Q&A)

Q. What is the SPUA Rider and how does it function?
A. The Single Paid Up Additions Rider (SPUA) Rider is a whole-life rider which increases the death benefit of the base policy. It provides a traditional death benefit and guaranteed cash values, with an adjustable loan interest rate. While dividends are paid as in a traditional product, they are not guaranteed.

Q. Are there any guarantees with this policy?
A. Our Flagship Life II product offers:

  • Guaranteed Cash Values
  • Guaranteed Loan Values
  • Guaranteed Death Benefit to age 100

Q. What ratios of the net deposit do I use to meet the Voyager objective for the Base policy & the SPUA Rider?
A. Use 8.5% of the net deposit for the Base premium and 91.5% of the net deposit for the SPUA Rider.

Q. Are dividends taxable to the client?**
A. No, not when the dividends are being used to pay the premium. Yes, when the dividends are received in cash.

Q. What are the Underwriting Requirements?
A. Your prospect must be insurable. An Attending Physician's Statement (APS) will be required for ages 50-75. The underwriting requirements are determined by the face amount of the base policy only.

Q. Are renewals paid on the base policy premium?
A. Yes, renewals are paid on the base policy premium to the 10th policy anniversary. Service fees may be payable thereafter.
