  • Lincoln Financial Expands Life Insurance Portfolio With Launch of Two New Variable Universal Life Products

    January 22, 2025 by Lincoln Financial

    RADNOR, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Lincoln Financial (NYSE: LNC) launched two new Variable Universal Life (VUL) products in the next generation of Lincoln AssetEdge – an enhanced version of Lincoln AssetEdge VUL (2025) and the all-new Lincoln AssetEdge SVUL – to meet the diverse financial goals and protection needs of individuals, couples and businesses.

    “Our new AssetEdge solutions offer clients looking for growth potential an opportunity to build a portfolio with optionality and the flexibility to meet multiple planning goals in a tax-advantaged way,” said Jared Nepa, senior vice president and head of Insurance Solutions Distribution for Lincoln. “With performance-based products representing 70% of VUL products sold in 20231, these new offerings round out our suite of VUL products and demonstrate Lincoln’s commitment to offering flexible life insurance solutions that deliver both protection and the freedom to pursue long-term, market-driven wealth accumulation potential.”

    Lincoln AssetEdge VUL (2025)
    Building on the foundation of Lincoln’s current individual-life product, the enhancements incorporated in the new Lincoln AssetEdge VUL (2025) offer additional consumer value by:

    • Including a new Enhanced Overloan Protection Endorsement with no upfront fee to protect highly funded, heavily loaned policies against lapse if certain conditions are met. The rider automatically invokes if Death Benefit Option 1 is in effect and includes earlier exercise ability (age 65 vs 75).
    • Removing the indexed account allocation threshold, resulting in access to the indexed accounts without limitations in the earlier policy years, offering consumers more options for investing their assets.
    • Including two hedged equity investment options and lower2 fund fee model portfolios3 to offer consumers additional optionality.
    • Providing for a lower no-lapse premium if the Lincoln Enhanced Allocation Rider4 is attached to the policy and active.

    Lincoln AssetEdge SVUL
    Designed to mirror the Lincoln AssetEdge individual-life product, Lincoln AssetEdge SVUL is a survivorship VUL policy that insures two lives, paying a benefit after the second insured’s death. The product was designed to help couples and businesses looking for death benefit protection and tax advantages by:

    • Optimizing death benefit protection via competitive short-pay pricing, with premiums paid over a set period of time, and a competitive no lapse guarantee.
    • Maximizing growth potential through market participation in the same fund line up as Lincoln AssetEdge VUL, including index options and model portfolios for built-in simplicity.5
    • Offering additional options for growth and liquidity through riders including the Enhanced Allocation Rider, the new Enhanced Overloan Protection Endorsement and two living benefit options.6

    “Lincoln is committed to delivering a range of solutions that empower financial professionals to meet their clients’ unique needs,” said Darrel Tedrow, senior vice president, president of Life Solutions at Lincoln. “Our SVUL solution enhances financial professionals’ ability to support clients who want to insure two lives, offering financial flexibility and addressing critical planning needs such as estate tax funding, wealth transfer and building a lasting financial legacy.”
