Exclusive index annuity leverages innovative interest credit overlay with a 200% multiplier to provide enhanced growth potential alongside principal protection
Corebridge Financial today announced the launch of Power Select AICOSM, a new index annuity that expands the strong partnership between Corebridge and Market Synergy Group (MSG), one of the nation’s largest networks of independent marketing organizations. Power Select AICO is designed to provide enhanced growth potential with an Additional Interest Credit Overlay (AICO) feature that no other index annuity offers in today’s market.
“We are excited to build on our long-standing partnership with Market Synergy Group and introduce a next generation index annuity designed to strengthen growth and accumulation with no downside market risk,” said Bryan Pinsky, President of Individual Retirement and Life Insurance at Corebridge Financial. “Through its unique interest credit overlay, Power Select AICO can step up earnings by a multiple of 200%, providing important opportunities for growth and diversification, specifically during times of low market returns when other investments in a portfolio may be challenged.”
Power Select AICO is the newest addition to The Power Series of Index Annuities®, the Corebridge family of index annuities, and is available exclusively through MSG. The new index annuity offers growth potential through index interest accounts linked to the performance of the S&P 500®, Nasdaq-100® or a select offering of multi-asset, risk-managed indices, as well as guaranteed growth through a fixed interest account. What makes Power Select AICO truly different from other index annuities is the interest credit overlay, which uses a 200% multiplier to potentially double total interest earned from these accounts over 5 years, subject to a maximum amount.
“Power Select AICO offers the benefits of a traditional index annuity, plus the enhanced growth potential of the overlay credit to help consumers accumulate more assets for retirement,” said Lance Sparks, President, Market Synergy Group. “Power Select AICO provides compelling benefits regardless of the market environment – in down markets the new index annuity offers 100% protection against loss, in weak markets the overlay credit can automatically boost earnings by up to 200%, and in strong markets assets can increase with a percentage of the index gains.”
Power Select AICO is issued by American General Life Insurance Company (AGL), a subsidiary of Corebridge Financial, Inc. Guarantees are backed by the claims-paying ability of AGL.
Power Select AICO is subject to an annual fee of 0.80%. The fee is calculated as a percentage of the premium in the first year and as a percentage of the contract’s prior anniversary value in years 2-5. The fee can reduce the contract value in down markets; however, if an overlay credit is applied at the end of the 5-year withdrawal charge period, it will partially or fully offset those fees. The only times fees are not covered is if the contract value exceeds the maximum overlay amount (30% of net premiums), in which case, consumers will benefit from market performance, not the overlay credit. The overlay feature and fee terminate on the 5th contract anniversary. The 0.80% fee, 200% multiplier rate and 30% maximum overlay percentage are guaranteed and will not change once a contract is issued; however, AGL could make changes in the future for newly issued contracts. See the Owner Acknowledgment and Disclosure Statement for more information.
Diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against market loss.
Index annuities are not a direct investment in the stock market. They are long-term insurance products with guarantees backed by the claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company. They provide the potential for interest to be credited based in part on the performance of the specified index, without the risk of loss of premium due to market downturns or fluctuations. Index annuities may not be appropriate for all individuals.
Withdrawals may be subject to federal and/or state income taxes. An additional 10% federal tax may apply if individuals make withdrawals or surrender their annuity before age 59½. Individuals should consult their tax advisor regarding their specific situation.
