  • Voya Financial Expands Retirement Solutions Offerings with New Voya PotentialPLUS Annuity

    March 24, 2015 by Voya

    WINDSOR, Conn., March 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — Voya Financial, Inc. (NYSE: VOYA), has added a flexible premium deferred index-linked variable annuity to its suite of retail retirement solutions. Voya PotentialPLUS offers customers the potential for investment growth tied to the performance of up to four major market indexes, while also providing a level of protection against a drop in those indexes. The new product is issued by Voya Insurance and Annuity Company, a member of the Voya Financial family of companies.

    “As Americans face a greater responsibility to plan and save for retirement, many are looking for investment strategies that provide the right balance between risk and return,” said Carolyn Johnson, president of Annuities and Tax-Exempt Markets for Retirement Solutions at Voya Financial. “Voya PotentialPLUS is a flexible solution that meets a number of these objectives — helping customers to grow and protect their assets so they can become more secure in retirement.”

    The Voya PotentialPLUS annuity allows individuals to allocate their premium payment over a stated period of time across a maximum of four indexed segments — the S&P 500®, NASDAQ 100, Russell 2000 and MSCI EAFE1. During this time, investors have the opportunity to benefit from potential index gains, up to a cap rate. Meanwhile, they are also protected against a drop in index performance up to a certain level through a built-in downside buffer.

    If an index goes up during the stated time period, the value associated with the indexed segment is credited by an amount up to the cap rate. If an index goes down during that period, the indexed segment does not lose any value if the drop is 10 percent or less. If the drop is greater than 10 percent, the value is reduced — but only by the amount in excess of 10 percent. The buffer helps to offset the impact of market volatility.

    Other important features of the Voya PotentialPLUS annuity include the potential for investors to accumulate their assets on a tax-deferred basis2; the flexibility to allocate their investments or gains across the different equity index segments or to a variable subaccount; and the ability to make free withdraws or transfer money from their account as they choose, subject to certain fees and limitations.

    Voya PotentialPLUS complements and diversifies Voya’s comprehensive suite of annuity product solutions. As an industry leader and advocate for greater retirement readiness, Voya Financial’s vision is to be recognized as America’s Retirement CompanyTM and its mission to make a secure financial future possible — one person, one family, one institution at a time.
