  • Pacific Life Offers Financial Advisors a New and Innovative Option for Building Retirement Income: Pacific Income Advantage(SM)

    December 4, 2013 by Marketwired

    NEWPORT BEACH, CA–(Marketwired – Dec 3, 2013) –  Amid today’s economic  fluctuations, financial advisors want their clients to have every possible  advantage as they build retirement income. That’s why Pacific Life Insurance  Company has launched Pacific Income Advantage. This innovative, new addition to  Pacific Life’s diverse annuity product line combines the advantages of a  traditional deferred fixed annuity — including safety of principal,  interest-rate guarantees, tax deferral, and death benefit protection — with a  built-in Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit that includes a 6% Annual Credit for  deferring income.

    “This is about taking the appeal of deferred fixed annuities a step further,”  says Christine Tucker, vice president of marketing, Pacific Life’s Retirement  Solutions Division. “With Pacific Income Advantage, financial advisors can offer  clients guaranteed interest rates and tax-deferred interest-compounding. The  features help reduce worries about market volatility, short-term interest-rate  fluctuations, and taxation while assets accumulate. When clients are ready to  take income, the Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit adds another dimension to these  advantages.”

    The Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit is included for an additional cost and  allows clients to begin taking lifetime withdrawals for retirement while the  contract continues to earn interest. Plus, the benefit includes a 6% Annual  Credit that can increase the total amount available for lifetime withdrawals,  and this amount is called the Protected Payment Base. Each year the client  delays taking withdrawals — for up to 10 years — 6% is added to the Protected  Payment Base. This credit can really add up. For example, a client who  purchases Pacific Income Advantage with $100,000 would initially have a $100,000  Protected Payment Base. If the client waits 10 years before beginning  withdrawals, the Protected Payment Base would grow to $160,000.

    “Financial advisors know that addressing a client’s retirement needs isn’t a  ‘one-size-fits-all’ proposition. It requires an approach using multiple-product  solutions,” says Tucker. “Through Pacific Life, advisors have access to a  diverse selection of fixed annuities, variable annuities, mutual funds, and life  insurance. We also offer a full complement of highly consultative support  resources to help advisors build stronger relationships, manage client  expectations, and guide clients through the entire retirement income-planning  process.”

    To learn more about Pacific Income Advantage and Pacific Life’s full line of  products and services, visit www.PacificLife.com  or talk with a Pacific Life consultative wholesaler at (800) 722-2333.

    Pacific Life refers to Pacific Life Insurance Company and its affiliates,  including Pacific Life & Annuity Company. Client count as of May 2013 is  compiled by Pacific Life using the 2013 FORTUNE 500® list.

    Pacific Income Advantage is not available in New York.

    This material is not intended to be used, nor can it be used by any taxpayer,  for the purpose of avoiding U.S. federal, state, or local tax penalties. This  material is written to support the promotion or marketing of the transaction(s)  or matter(s) addressed by this material. Pacific Life, Pacific Life Funds, their  distributors, and respective representatives do not provide tax, accounting, or  legal advice. Any taxpayer should seek advice based on the taxpayer’s particular  circumstances from an independent tax advisor or attorney.

    Annuity withdrawals and other distributions of taxable amounts, including  death benefit payouts, will be subject to ordinary income tax. For nonqualified  contracts, an additional 3.8% federal tax may apply on net investment income. If  withdrawals and other distributions are taken prior to age 59 1/2, an additional  10% federal tax may apply. A withdrawal charge and a market value adjustment  (MVA) also may apply. Withdrawals may reduce the value of the death benefit and  the Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit. Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit withdrawals are  not annuity payouts. Annuity payouts generally receive a more favorable tax  treatment than other withdrawals.

    IRAs and qualified plans — such as 401(k)s and 403(b)s — are already  tax-deferred. Therefore, a deferred annuity should be used only to fund an IRA  or qualified plan to benefit from the annuity’s features other than tax  deferral. These include lifetime income and death benefit options.

    Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit annual credits increase the protected amount  and will be treated as earnings when withdrawn.

    No guaranteed rate will be less than the minimum guaranteed rate stated in  the contract. Pacific Life determines, at its discretion, annual interest rates  in excess of the stated minimum guarantee in the contract.

    Pacific Life refers to Pacific Life Insurance Company and its affiliates,  including Pacific Life & Annuity Company. Insurance products are issued by  Pacific Life Insurance Company in all states except New York and in New York by  Pacific Life & Annuity Company. Product availability and features may vary  by state. Each insurance company is solely responsible for the financial  obligations accruing under the products it issues. Insurance product and rider  guarantees, including optional benefits and any fixed crediting rates or annuity  payout rates, are backed by the financial strength and claims-paying ability of  the issuing insurance company. They are not backed by the independent third  party from which this annuity is purchased, including the broker/dealer, by the  insurance agency from which this annuity is purchased, or any affiliates of  those entities, and none makes any representations or guarantees regarding the  claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company. Fixed annuities issued  by Pacific Life (Newport Beach, CA) are available through licensed, independent  third parties.
