  • Minnesota Life, a Securian subsidiary, adds 2 index options for Eclipse Life products

    February 13, 2012 by Maggie Jensen

    St. Paul, MN, February 13, 2011 – Two index options added  by Minnesota Life Insurance Company, a subsidiary of Securian Financial Group,  to its Eclipse Indexed Universal Life Insurance products offer more account  options and potential for higher interest crediting for indexed life insurance  clients.

    The new options are:

    ·        S&P 500® with three year time period  and 140 percent participation, offering a
    higher cap than its S&P 500® one year option

    ·        A blended index account that includes  the S&P 500®, Russell 2000®, EURO STOXX
    50® and the Barclays US Aggregate Bond index

    With these additions, Eclipse Indexed Life products now  offer five indexed account options based on the four indices listed above, plus the Dow Jones Global ex-US IndexSM.

    Eclipse Indexed Life offers life insurance protection and  sound cash value growth with competitive interest crediting options and  guaranteed protection. It protects assets while helping them grow. Eclipse may  be right for individuals who want life insurance protection while accumulating funds for supplemental retirement income or other financial goals.

    Eclipse Indexed Life is designed first and foremost to  provide life insurance protection. While the interest crediting options are  attractive for cash accumulation, the product should always be promoted to  first meet the death benefit needs of families and businesses with cash  accumulation as a secondary benefit.

    Insurance products are issued by Minnesota Life Insurance  Company in all states except New York. In New York, products are issued by  Securian Life Insurance Company, a New York admitted insurer. Both companies  are headquartered in Saint Paul, MN. Product availability and features may vary  by state. Each insurer is solely responsible for the financial obligations  under the policies or contracts it issues.
