  • Securian Financial Enhances Its Flagship Indexed Universal Life Insurance Product

    February 19, 2025 by Securian Financial

    ST. PAUL, Minn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Securian Financial has launched an enhanced version of its flagship indexed universal life (IUL) insurance product.

    Eclipse Accumulator II IUL, an accumulation-focused product issued by Minnesota Life Insurance Company, includes everything financial professionals and their clients valued about its predecessor product—low charges, simplicity and transparency—plus new and unique indexed accounts.

    “Eclipse Accumulator II IUL builds on our foundation and long history of leadership and innovation in the IUL marketplace,” said Chris Owens, Securian Financial’s vice president of distribution for Individual Solutions.

    Product highlights include:

    Two New Indexed Account Options

    • Hindsight Indexed Account1 (S&P 500®, Nasdaq 100®, Russel 2000®), with a 60/40/0 split, weighted on performance
    • Performance Trigger Indexed Account2 (S&P 500®)
    • Max illustrated rate as high as 6.59%
    • Eclipse Accumulator II IUL continues to offer the following indexed accounts that were available with its predecessor product:
    • S&P 500®
    • S&P 500® Low Volatility
    • S&P PRISMSM

    Competitive Distributions

    • Especially for clients ages 45 and younger and standard or better underwriting classes3
    • Competitive account value bonus in years 11+

    Low charges, High Value

    • Charges remain low to ensure more client premium goes to growing their policy’s cash value—providing them with the potential for greater long-term value and more consistent performance during times of market volatility

    Simple, Transparent Design

    • Like its predecessor, Eclipse Accumulator II IUL’s clear features and straightforward design allow clients to feel confident and in control of their financial future

    Eclipse Accumulator II IUL is available for sale in all states except California, Florida, Oregon and New York. Eclipse Accumulator IUL will continue to be available in California, Florida and Oregon until Eclipse Accumulator II IUL is approved. The product line is not available in New York.

    1. The Hindsight index is made up of the following indices: S&P 500®; Nasdaq 100®; Russell 2000®. Each index within the hindsight account is weighted based on performance (60 percent of the highest performing index; 40 percent from the second highest; and 0 percent from the third). The weight is used when calculating the return of the index and amount credited to the policy, and is subject to a cap.

    2. If the index growth rate for a performance trigger account is positive, the segment growth rate will be equal to the trigger rate. If the index growth rate is 0.00% or less, the segment growth rate will be 0.00%.

    3. Source: All illustration and benchmarking data provided by Competitor Illustration Software, January 2025. This comparison does not take all material factors into account and must not be used with the public. These factors include but are not limited to: indexed account options, rider availability, surrender periods, or fees and expenses. For information regarding these and other factors, please consult each company’s respective policy guide.

    Depending upon actual policy experience, the Owner may need to increase premium payments to keep the policy in force.

    The Indexed Universal Life Series is designed first and foremost to provide life insurance protection. While the indexed 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.

    Life insurance products contain charges, such as Cost of Insurance Charge, Cash Extra Charge, and Additional Agreements Charge (which we refer to as mortality charges), and Premium Charge, Monthly Policy Charge, Policy Issue Charge, Transaction Charge, Index Segment Charge, and Surrender Charge (which we refer to as expense charges). These charges may increase over time, and this policy may contain restrictions, such as surrender periods. Policyholders could lose money in this product.
