  • Allianz Life Launches Allianz Life Pro+ Survivor Fixed Index Universal Life Insurance Policy

    September 16, 2014 by Business Wire

     

    New product offers cost-effective death benefit protection for two lives plus cash value accumulation

    MINNEAPOLIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America (Allianz Life®) today announced the launch of Allianz Life Pro+ SurvivorSM Fixed Index Universal Life Insurance Policy, now available in 43 states. Allianz Life Pro+ Survivor is designed for consumers seeking an affordable, flexible option for life insurance coverage that provides death benefit protection for two lives in one policy. This addition to the survivorship market also has index allocation options that offer customers tax-deferred cash value accumulation potential and a level of protection.

    “We know that Americans want affordable, customizable life insurance that helps them protect loved ones while also providing the opportunity to accumulate assets for future expenses”

    “We know that Americans want affordable, customizable life insurance that helps them protect loved ones while also providing the opportunity to accumulate assets for future expenses,” said Jason Wellmann, senior vice president of Life Insurance Sales for Allianz Life. “Allianz Life Pro+ Survivor provides this financial reassurance against life’s uncertainties with both flexibility and protection.”

    Death benefits and cash value accumulation potential

    Allianz Life Pro+ Survivor protects two lives with one policy. The death benefit is paid after the second insured’s death, which can help beneficiaries with income replacement, supplement college funding, and pay down a mortgage or other debts. It can also help with estate taxes or final expenses, and more. Insuring two people in one policy may also be a cost-effective solution for business owners in business continuation planning, as it leverages the mortality risk of two insureds. For those who need death benefit protection upon the first insured’s death, Allianz Life Pro+ Survivor offers the optional First-to-Die Rider1.

    In addition to death benefit protection, Allianz Life Pro+ Survivor also provides results for the customer through cash value accumulation potential. The cash value can accumulate based on positive changes in an external index. Allianz Life Pro+ Survivor has multiple index allocation options including the S&P 500® Index, a Blended index, and the Barclays US Dynamic Balance Index as well as a fixed interest option. Once indexed interest is credited, it is locked in and the cash value will not decrease due to negative index changes (although fees and expenses will reduce cash value).

    Flexibility and customization

    Allianz Life Pro+ Survivor gives customers flexibility by offering access to their available cash value in a variety of ways that are income-tax-free. If the need arises, customers can access any available cash through loans or withdrawals2 from their policy. Allianz Life Pro+ Survivor can also be customized with available riders to further protect against the unexpected. Additional advantages of Allianz Life Pro+ Survivor include:

    • Tax advantages, including income-tax-free death benefit to beneficiaries.
    • Chronic Illness Accelerated Benefit Rider3 after the death of the first insured, to help offset chronic illness expenses of the last surviving insured. Please consult with a tax advisor as the accelerated benefits may be taxable.
    • Terminal Illness Accelerated Benefit, after the death of the first insured, if the last surviving insured is diagnosed with a terminal illness, a portion of the death benefit may be available.
    • Flexible premium payments to help meet financial goals. Premiums can be paid at any time and in any amount (subject to some limits), as long as policy expenses and cost coverage are met.

    Keep in mind that most life insurance policies require health underwriting and, in some cases, financial underwriting. Life insurance involves certain fees and expenses. Individuals should discuss with their financial professional to determine if a life insurance policy meets their needs.

    1 Additional cost when the policy is issued, and is subject to certain age and underwriting requirements. The cost of the rider is based on age, gender, risk class, policy duration, and death benefit amount.

    2 Policy loans and withdrawals will reduce the available cash value and death benefit and may cause the policy to lapse, or affect guarantees against lapse. Additional premium payments may be required to keep the policy in force. In the event of a lapse, outstanding policy loans in excess of unrecovered cost basis will be subject to ordinary income tax. Tax laws are subject to change and you should consult a tax professional.

    3 Subject to certain age and underwriting requirements, the rider is built in and is available at an additional cost at the time the rider is exercised. The cost is based on age, gender, risk class, and death benefit amount. There is no cost if the rider is not exercised. May not be available in all states.

    Guarantees are backed by the financial strength and claims-paying ability of the issuing company.
