The best of times
Let’s assume the glass is half full, and
almost four years since the financial crisis began, the skies are brightening for
the long term. Your client needs more
life insurance protection for his family
and a place to stash more supplemental retirement savings. The low interest
rates on fixed annuity products don’t
give him much, if any, real growth potential. Those same low rates make traditional guaranteed universal life products more expensive as prices need to
accommodate low interest rate assumptions in the future.
Enter the indexed annuity and indexed UL policy with secondary guarantees. If we are in for a seemingly long

greater potential return than that offered
by traditional fixed products. Yet that
exposure won’t come with the sickening volatility that pure equity products
have produced in the last decade.

And most importantly, if the market
does what he thinks it won’t — perform
