Business Wire

Chartline and Chartline Bonus Designed to Meet Retirement Savers’ Evolving Risk-Return Needs

CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Knighthead Insurance Group, a global provider of retirement solutions, today announced the launch of Chartline and Chartline Bonus, fixed indexed annuities designed to provide clients with straightforward and intuitive accumulation. These new Chartline products are offered by Knighthead Life, the U.S. carrier of Knighthead Insurance Group.

“Following the successful launch of our MYGA, Staysail, in 2025, we’re excited to continue our strong momentum and to introduce Chartline and Chartline Bonus to expand our U.S. offering,” said Edward Massaro, CEO and Chief Investment Officer of Knighthead Insurance Group. “Knighthead Insurance Group has been offering fixed indexed annuities internationally for more than ten years, consistently providing competitive and reliable cap rates. This successful approach will be carried forward as Knighthead enters the U.S. fixed index market, reinforcing our commitment to providing purposeful retirement solutions to our clients.”

Chartline was built on the foundation of:

  • Guaranteed Accumulation

    Chartline features a minimum interest guarantee for clients who value a secure, minimum level of accumulation while Chartline Bonus provides an upfront premium bonus for clients who want to see contract growth from day one.
  • Product Transparency

    Chartline seeks to buck the trend of cap subsidization and provide renewal rate integrity.
  • Trusted Performance

    With Chartline, clients can select from a suite of indices from well-known market leaders. In addition, Clients have the option to choose from model portfolios – Global Diversified Balance, American Benchmark Collection, and Cap Amplifier-each with unique combinations of indices, caps, and pars.

“Chartline and Chartline Bonus were developed to equip advisors with differentiated solutions aligned with the flexibility, protection and accumulation retirees seek,” said Michael Brandriet, Chief Distribution Officer at Knighthead Life. “By focusing conversations and planning around these key pillars, advisors can solve client challenges with greater confidence, elevate their value and position themselves as long-term strategic partners.”
