Contactless WriteFit Underwriting™

Fast underwriting for an improved client experience

Our WriteFit Underwriting program uses tools and techniques that predict relative mortality based on a number of behaviors. With WriteFit, there is no need for medical exams or blood tests. Instead, clients participate in a phone interview. The policy is issued within 24 hours of completion of the interview for clients who qualify.

Customizable for maximum flexibility

Protect and diversify assets

Clients can choose from a fixed account or several indexed account options that give them growth potential with protection from negative market performance since the interest credited can never be less than zero. Crediting within the indexed accounts is based on the performance of different investment indices.

1. The Hindsight Indexed Account is made up of the following indices: S&P 500®; Nasdaq 100; Russell 2000®. The segment growth rate for a hindsight account is weighted based on relative performance of each reference index on the index credit date (60 percent from the highest performing reference index; 40 percent from the second highest; and 0 percent from the lowest). The amount credited to the policy is subject to a cap.

2. Index credits are credited annually and are based on the 1 yr. percentage change in the S&P 500®. If the percentage change in the index is greater than 0%, the credit is equal to the trigger rate, otherwise it is equal to the growth floor. This account is subject to a guaranteed 0% floor, and a guaranteed minimum trigger rate of 2.00%.

3. Cap and other parameters may change for each segment. For current rate, please log into our Financial Professional site.

Additional agreements may be available. Agreements may be subject to additional costs and restrictions. Agreements may not be available in all states or may exist under a different name in various states and may not be available in combination with other agreements.

The Accelerated Death Benefit for Chronic Illness Agreement and Chronic Illness Access Agreements may not cover all of the costs associated with chronic illness. The Agreements are generally not subject to health insurance requirements and do not provide long-term care insurance subject to state long-term care insurance law. These Agreements are not state-approved Partnership for Long Term Care Program Agreements and are not Medicare supplement policies. Receipt of chronic illness benefit payments under these agreements may adversely affect eligibility for Medicaid or other government benefits or entitlements.

The Accelerated Death Benefit for Chronic Illness Agreement and Chronic Illness Access Agreements are life insurance policy agreements that provide an option to accelerate the death benefit in the event that the insured becomes chronically ill.

The accumulation value, surrender value, loan value, death benefit, and death proceeds may be reduced when a chronic illness benefit payment is made under these agreements. The death proceeds may be reduced by the accelerated death benefit amount.

Due to uncertainty in the tax law, chronic illness benefits paid from a life insurance contract may be taxable. Please ensure that your clients consult a tax advisor regarding chronic illness care benefit payments from a life insurance contract.

A fixed interest rate loan will begin a 12-month lockout period during which no transfers from the fixed account to an indexed account will apply.

Because of the risk involved to the client with variable interest rate loans, use caution when illustrating or discussing variable rate loans.

The short-term loan provision provides for interest waiver if the loan is paid in full within 90 days of the date the loan was taken. In the event the policyholder does not repay the loan in full within 90 days, interest and other policy loan provisions will apply as of the date the loan was taken. Additional restrictions may apply.

Please keep in mind that the primary reason to purchase a life insurance product is the death benefit.

Life insurance products contain charges, such as Cost of Insurance Charge, Cash Extra Charge, and Additional Agreements Charge (which we refer to as mortality charges), and Premium Charge, Monthly Policy Charge, Policy Issue Charge, Transaction Charge, Index Segment Charge, and Surrender Charge (which we refer to as expense charges). These charges may increase over time, and may contain restrictions, such as surrender periods. Policyholders could lose money in these products.

Policy loans and withdrawals may create an adverse tax result in the event of lapse or policy surrender and will reduce both the surrender value and death benefit. Withdrawals may be subject to taxation within the first fifteen years of the contract. Clients should consult their tax advisor when considering taking a policy loan or withdrawal.

The Income Protection Agreement is an optional agreement in Nebraska.

The Income Protection Agreement and Income Protection Flex Agreement provide for an irrevocable settlement for all or a portion of the policy death proceeds. Changes to this election may not be allowed while the policy is in force and the insured is alive. The beneficiary of the policy will not be able to change the manner in which the death proceeds are paid out upon the death of the insured.

The tax treatment of the Overloan Protection Agreement is uncertain, and it is not clear whether the Overloan Protection Agreement will be effective to prevent taxation of any outstanding loan balance as a distribution in those situations where Overloan Protection takes effect. Anyone contemplating exercise of the Policy's Overloan Protection Agreement should consult a tax advisor.

Surrender of policy in years one through three for policies with the Surrender Value Enhancement Agreement will result in proportionate charge-back on compensation.

The Waiver of Premium Agreement does not in any way replace the specific coverages provided in the policy.
