It’s All About Accumulation Potential

By Ron Barrett Sponsored By Fidelity & Guaranty Life

F&G’s New Accelerator Plus® FIA Series

Ron Barrett, vice president, annuity distribution and key accounts, Fidelity & Guaranty Life Insurance Company, shares insights into the features of F&G’s Accelerator Plus fixed deferred indexed annuity series. The series offers a retirement solution with strong earning potential that can help protect clients from market downturns, provide tax-deferred account accumulation and guarantee lifetime income through annuitization options or the Income Rider (Enhanced Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Rider). For certain clients, an Accelerator Plus annuity can be an important financial tool to help meet long-term retirement needs.

How does the initial premium (vesting) bonus work?
To jump-start a client’s account value, we apply a seven percent1 bonus to all funds received in the first year. This bonus amount is credited to the total account value and eligible to earn interest from the date of issue. The bonus is immediately available for income rider payments or as part of the death benefit. The bonus amount and any interest earned on that bonus amount vest over the annuity surrender charge period.2

How can index crediting options drive performance?
The protected growth of the accumulation values gives clients choices so that they can design and customize Accelerator Plus. F&G offers index interest crediting options for Accelerator Plus based on two indices: the S&P 500® or the exclusive Barclays Trailblazer Sectors 5. In addition, F&G offers a number of term options that the client may choose from. They can choose either a fee or a no-fee index interest crediting option; the fee options allow clients to buy higher caps or participation rates as compared with the no-fee option.3 Also, the client can still choose to put their money in a fixed crediting option for one year.4 The best part is the ability to diversify or allocate their funds in multiple index interest crediting options and, more importantly, reallocate at the end of each index interest crediting period.

What is F&G’s Power Producer program?
It’s a unique program that entitles F&G’s life and annuity producers to be part of a nonqualified, deferred compensation arrangement. For qualifying agents, F&G makes regular credits to an account established by the company for the producer’s benefit. Power Producers also receive red-carpet service and subsidized E&O coverage.

Ask your IMO partner whether you qualify for the unique Power Producer program, exclusively available from Fidelity & Guaranty Life Insurance Company. And discover whether F&G’s Accelerator Plus annuity could give your clients the very financial boost they’re seeking.
