AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Prosperity Life Group^®, an insurance, reinsurance, and asset management organization, today announced the launch of Prosperity PathPro^SM Series Fixed Indexed Annuities (FIAs), issued by S.USA Life Insurance Company, Inc. (S.USA), a Prosperity Company.

The series includes two innovative FIAs, Prosperity PathPro^SM and Prosperity PathPro Max^SM. Both FIAs offer multiple indexed crediting methods with one-year or two-year durations, featuring the following four index strategies:

S&P 500^®
S&P 500^® Engle 14% VT TCA Index
Nasdaq Nexus 12%^TM Index, and
MSCI USA Balanced FC Index

Three of the four index strategies, excluding S&P 500, guarantee the initial Participation (Par) or Cap rates for the length of the Withdrawal Charge Period.

Prosperity PathPro Max features a Premium Bonus*, which is an upfront interest credit, with no explicit fee.

With these features, Prosperity PathPro Series is designed to provide peace of mind in retirement.

“Prosperity PathPro Series has a unique story offering stability via guaranteed Par and Cap Rates, customized growth opportunities, and protection from market volatility and market downturns,” said Luke Christenson, Vice President of Sales, Prosperity Life Group. “Couple that with Prosperity PathPro Max offering a Premium Bonus with no explicit fee, and you have an FIA series that allows future retirement needs and goals to be met with confidence.”

“We are pleased to collaborate with Prosperity Life Group to introduce indices designed to meet the evolving needs of today’s consumers, with a focus on simplicity and accessibility,” said Jason Zahn, Director at BofA Securities.

“Our collaboration with Prosperity Life Group, Nasdaq, and Bank of America, has been seamless. Salt’s technology makes it possible to iterate rapidly on all aspects of index design, turning ideas into solutions with speed and precision for our partners and clients,” said Tony Barchetto, Founder & CEO, Salt Financial.

Guaranteed Par and Cap Rates are available for all three Withdrawal Charge Periods: five-year, seven-year, and 10-year. This approach aligns with Prosperity Life Group’s long-standing renewal rate philosophy.

“For the last seven years, Prosperity Life Group has offered 100% Cap rate integrity on our existing FIA offerings, and with our guaranteed Participation and Cap rates for term on Prosperity PathPro Series, we’re removing the “trust me” factor for our distribution,” said Dan Farrelly, SVP, Head of Annuity Distribution. “Prosperity PathPro Series is designed to protect hard-earned savings, while also providing the potential for growth.”
