Investors Heritage Life Insurance Company has introduced a single-premium, non-variable indexed annuity.
The new Heritage Income Advantage contract offers a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit rider. Investors Heritage Life says the rider can provide a guaranteed income stream for life.
The Frankfort, Kentucky-based insurer also is offering an enhanced income benefit rider. That rider can double income for up to 60 months if they lose the ability to perform two of six “activities of daily living,” or ADLs. The ADLs are eating, bathing, dressing, talking, using the toilet and continence. A couple can share the rider.
The trigger for the enhanced income benefit rider is similar to one for stand-alone long-term care insurance but does not include cognitive impairment, according to a brochure posted on the issuer’s website.
The investment index menu includes the S&P 500 index, the S&P Multi-Asset Risk Control 5% Index and the SG Entelligent Agile 6% VT Index
Société Générale worked with Entelligent to develop the SG Entelligent Agile index, based on an Entelligent method for rating S&P 500 companies for environmental sustainability.
