Get Ready For APP
What Is APP?
APP stands for Accumulation Protector PlusSM Annuity, a fixed indexed single premium deferred annuity contract. The single premium is allocated based on the Policyholder’s choice across a Fixed Account and Indexed Accounts whose values are linked to three equity indices: the CS Momentum Index, the CS ESG Macro 5 Index, and the Standard and Poor’s Composite Stock Price Index (hereafter referred to as the “S&P 500®”). The APP is distinct in the industry because it offers a unique 10-year guarantee of participation rates through the CS Momentum Index and the CS ESG Macro 5 Index with the selection of the One-year point-to-point or Two-year point-to-point crediting strategies.* The product is offered in both non-qualified and tax-qualified markets.
What is a Fixed Indexed Annuity?
A Fixed Indexed annuity is a tax-deferred, lower risk, financial option designed to grow the policyholder’s premium and protect it if the market drops. This product is typically accompanied by multiple crediting strategies that the policyholder can choose to participate in. In addition to growth potential, a Fixed Indexed Annuity offers protection of principal in several different ways. The policyholder will not lose money if the index value drops because the policyholder’s money is allocated to the annuity itself rather than directly to the index (or indices). Additionally, the indexed accounts typically offer a minimum guaranteed interest rate of at least 0%.
Protect Your Principal
Protection is the cornerstone of the Accumulation Protector PlusSM Annuity. Whether the market goes up, down, or remains the same, the policyholder’s principal is guaranteed not to decrease *due to market performance and is protected through the APP’s Fixed and Indexed Accounts.
* If Rate Enhancement Rider is purchased, the principal will not decrease due to market performance but could decrease due to the rider fee.
Accumulate Wealth
The APP gives the policyholder exclusive access to the CS Momentum Index, the CS ESG Macro 5 Index the well-established Standard and Poor’s Composite Stock Price Index (“S&P 500®” Index), and a Fixed Account that provides a guaranteed rate of return. The CS Momentum Index, the CS ESG Macro 5 Index, S&P 500® Index, and the Fixed Account provide opportunities to accumulate wealth over time.
Choose from Flexible Crediting Strategies
Not everyone has the same financial goals, nor the same time horizon for achieving those goals. It is because of these different objectives that Flexibility is another key component of the Accumulation Protector PlusSM Annuity. This annuity offers a diversified set of fixed and indexed crediting strategies with 1, 2, or 3 year periods that allow the policyholder and their advisor to choose the accounts and periods that most align with their goals. Additionally, the policyholder can adjust the allocations on the policy anniversary, coinciding with the end of the crediting period, to continue to meet their changing needs.
Preserve Your Legacy
Help your client achieve greater financial confidence as well as their lifestyle, retirement income, and legacy goals by taking advantage of the flexible options provided by the Accumulation Protector PlusSM Annuity. These strategies were created to help protect what your client has worked hard for. Additionally, the APP was designed to provide your client with opportunities to accumulate wealth, so they can rest easy in retirement knowing they’re preserving the legacy they have built.
