The new feature is aimed at consumers who are getting help from financial professionals, AIG says.

AIG is also adding another Polaris feature, the Polaris Income Plus Flex feature.

Consumers can use both of the new features to add money to a Polaris contract after the first contract year, and to make contract adjustments in response to major life changes, such as the death of a spouse, AIG says.
