With the Goal of Growing its VA Business & Providing Clients with New Income and Investment Protection Options Delaware Life Launches Innovative Variable Annuity with Riders
The Delaware Life Accelerator Prime℠ Variable Annuity combines the benefits of a traditional variable annuity, including direct investments through investment fund options, tax-deferral, and the ability to convert savings into retirement income for life, with the flexibility of a range of riders that address individual client needs.
Among the choices offered is the industry's first Guaranteed Market Protection Benefit (GMPB) rider in a variable annuity. The Armor Flex Seven℠ and Armor Flex Ten℠ riders give clients the ability to invest in the financial markets through a broad range of investment fund options with, depending on the rider, a 10% or 20% protection buffer against downturns over a 7 or 10-year period. The riders offer clients choice, transparency of investment performance, and the flexibility to access the account value and investment gains at any time, subject to the terms of the contract.
"Delaware Life has the product, investment expertise, and capacity to offer unique products that give financial professionals and their clients the flexibility they are looking for," said
A comprehensive range of optional benefits provide significant investment freedom. The Income Boost℠ Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit (GLWB) rider offers open architecture investment with 96 investment fund options, a 6% bonus rate over a 10-year period, and annual step-up potential. The Income Control℠ GLWB rider offers higher income guarantees through a 7% bonus rate, attractive annual income factors, and unrestricted access to 25 investment fund options.
Clients also have the choice of a Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit (GMAB) rider, Armor Seven℠ or Armor Ten℠, which provides downside protection by guaranteeing the contract value at the end of the term will never be less than either 95% or 105% of the initial principal, depending on the term chosen. As additional options, Accelerator Prime℠ offers return of premium and highest anniversary value death benefit riders.
"Providing income and protection options for the initial 7 or 10 years of a contract ensures that financial professionals and their clients can prioritize what's important to them when it matters most," added
