Allianz Life Launches Index Precision Strategy
As one of multiple index strategies (also called crediting methods) available on Allianz IVA products, Index Precision Strategy provides the option to allocate to four corresponding equity indexes. With this strategy, as long as the annual change in index value is zero or positive, the client will receive the entire annual credit of the Precision Rate. The Precision Rate is declared monthly for newly issued contracts, and is subject to change annually. The Index Precision Strategy also offers a 10% buffer to provide a level of protection from the first 10% of negative index returns annually. Any loss in excess of 10% reduces the contract value.
"The Index Precision Strategy may be a good choice for consumers seeking a level of principal protection with some upside potential that is predictable in nature," said Senior Vice President of Product Innovation
The Index Precision Strategy combined with existing allocation options gives clients access to additional choice and flexibility. On an annual basis, clients can change allocations among one or more of the index strategies, can change indexes within each of the strategies, and have access to a performance lock feature that offers clients the opportunity to capture gains or limit potential losses between index anniversaries.
