This Week's Highlights & Events

Indexed Universal Life (IUL) continues to evolve, offering producers more tools - and more complexity - than ever before. Understanding what drives policy performance is critical to helping clients make informed, long-term decisions.

Join Brian Keefe, Regional Vice President with Symetra, for an in-depth look at how to navigate today’s IUL landscape and gain confidence in positioning these products effectively.

You’ll learn:

  • The key mechanics behind IUL policy performance

  • The difference between Vol Control and Non-Vol Control index options

  • How bonuses and multipliers impact overall results

  • Why it’s essential to understand charges and stress testing when illustrating IUL

Annuity Solutions

Rethinking the 4% Rule: The classic 4% rule boasts an 85% success rate for a 30-year retirement—good, but not great when you’re talking about lifetime income. With a deferred annuity and a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit, clients can generate the same $40,000 annual income with just $534,000, while keeping control of their assets.

Why settle for 85% when you can aim for 100% confidence? Learn about Corebridge’s Lifetime Income Choice GLWB
