- Often we think about the coming year and how we would like our business to change and grow before we put pen to paper: reflecting on 2015, the successes, the new ideas tried, those that worked and those that didn’t.

Eschels Financial Group is the portal for agents and advisors to expand their practices beginning with coaching and idea development.

New NAIC IUL Illustration Rule, AG 49, Goes Into Effect 9/1
|
“More realistic” guidelines for the illustrations insurers, agents and brokers can use in marketing indexed universal life insurance (IUL) products go into effect September 1st, 2015.
Existing regulations allow companies to determine the maximum illustrated rate of return for IUL products, which in some cases have been as high as 10 percent. The new guideline, known as Actuarial Guideline (AG) 49, will be implemented in two phases with the first going into effect on September 1 and will result in what are being called more reasonable illustrated rates.
To help you prepare, I’ve put together some resources for your review. At the first link below you’ll find a consolidated listing of the major insurance carriers’ individual announcements, including their new maximum illustrated rates. At the second link you’ll find an informational article at Insurance News Net on the new IUL guidelines.

The stock market can be an uncomfortable place for some clients.
Consider these three recent bull markets*:
- 1997-2000: Up 100% before declining 86%
- 2003-2008: Up 90% before declining 53%
- 2009-2014: Up 142%… where do you think the market will go from here? Now could be a great time to exercise a “correction protection” strategy for your clients by investing in the Protective Indexed Annuity II.
If you have clients nearing retirement who are concerned about another decline, ,help them exercise “correction protection” by taking their gains out of the market and investing it in the Protective Indexed Annuity II. This solution provides protected growth, opportunities for higher returns, and even offers secure retirement income with SecurePay SE, an optional withdrawal benefit.

Is your client’s non-qualified annuity or qualified annuity where it needs to be?
According to Gallup’s 2009 survey of non-qualified annuity owners:
- 81 percent surveyed intend to use their annuity as a financial resource to avoid being a financial burden on children.
- 73 percent surveyed intent to use their annuity as an emergency fund in the case of a catastrophic illness or for nursing home care.
Make sure your clients’ annuities are aligned with their intentions.
The Pension Protection Act (PPA)allows for income tax-free withdrawals from specially designed non-qualified annuities to fund long-term care expenses, regardless of cost basis. By exchanging a current annuity for an annuity that qualifies for the PPA advantages, your clients can be matched with a vehicle that can meet their needs while providing a tax advantage. Of course, before any annuity exchange is made, all factors should be weighed to verify the client’s best interest.
