We’ve been here from the
beginning.
In 1998, a few select carriers introduced the
first Indexed Universal Life products. A year
later, Aviva USA’s predecessor company
joined the market and has since become the
leading provider of IUL, a position we have
not relinquished.

The IUL landscape has changed considerably since
those early days. A few of the IUL pioneers dropped out
while many others have jumped on the bandwagon. But
only Aviva can claim a decade of sustained
leadership in Indexed Universal Life.

What they’re not telling you about those
higher illustrated rates.
While a higher illustrated rate sounds great in
theory, what other carriers may not openly
disclose is that those higher rates may be
masking a cost structure that can weigh down
an IUL policy’s cash accumulation potential.
For agent use only. Not for use with the general public.
CompetitiveEdge
One way to demonstrate the impact of policy charges on the cash accumulation
potential of an IUL product is to compare the Gross Illustrated Rate with the Net
Illustrated Rate.

The right IUL product starts with a
foundation of guarantees.
And Aviva has the strongest foundation.
Aviva’s indexed universal life structure, which has led the industry for 10 years,
begins with a solid foundation of guarantees. Even as more competitors enter
the IUL marketplace, our Lifetime Builder product continues to boast the most
solid level of guaranteed features in the industry.

We’ve been here from the beginning. In 1998, a few select carriers introduced the first Indexed Universal Life products. A year later, Aviva USA’s predecessor company joined the market and has since become the leading provider of IUL, a position we have not relinquished.
The IUL landscape has changed considerably since those early days. A few of the IUL pioneers dropped out while many others have jumped on the bandwagon. But only Aviva can claim a decade of sustained leadership in Indexed Universal Life. And this fact is very important. By looking at this chart Aviva entered the market in 1999 since that time the United States has encountered many difficult economic environments….both good a bad. Over this tumultuous timeframe Aviva has gained experience that none of the other carriers that you see on this slide can claim. The landscape is also changing. With more carriers entering the marketplace that means new and different products. Use Aviva’s competitive edge pieces to keep yourself up to date on what the competition is doing and how Aviva competes.
Aviva has recently announced the first ever wellness rewards. The discount percentages will be 1/2% for the level 1 discount which is then multiplied by the clients policy year currently being year 3 giving the client a total cost of insurance discount of 1.50% and a 1% for the level 2 discount leaving them a total discount of 3% when multiplied by the policy year. The wellness reward percentages will remain at this level until such a time that Aviva has information to support an increase or decrease in the rate. At a minimum Aviva will review the rewards annually. Clients can use these rewards to lower their No Lapse Guarantee Premium or increase the cash values within their policies.

Here is a look at the current cap and illustrated rates for the Lifetime Builder. You will find that this product has the highest cap rates available in our current indexed product line. This allow for the greatest cash accumulation potential.
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. An uncapped strategy sounds great in theory, but the reality is that benefit comes at a price. On John Hancock’s new IUL, the uncapped strategy credits the 1-year upward movement on the S&P 500 index, minus 5.5%.
Even John Hancock’s recommended strategy blend using all of the product’s strategies requires a substantial upward movement by the S&P just to match the value of Lifetime Builder’s 1-Year Point-to- Point with a 12.25% cap. So, what do you do if you’re trying to allocate your Account Value in John Hancock’s product? If you take on the risk of allocating everything to the uncapped strategy you would need the S&P 500 to return 17.75% just to match the interest credits on Lifetime Builder’s 1-Year Point-to-Point strategy. If you take on a less risky strategy of allocating to all of its strategies, it would take a 22.5% return to match Lifetime Builder. An analysis of hypothetical strategy returns for every 1-year period for the past 25 years shows that Aviva’s 1-year point-to-point strategy would have equaled or surpassed John Hancock’s uncapped strategy 2 out of every 3 periods. Are your clients willing to take on the risk for this kind of potential?
At Aviva we believe that the right IUL product starts with a foundation of guarantees. And Aviva has the strongest foundation in the industry today. Aviva’s indexed universal life structure, which has led the industry for 10 years, begins with a solid foundation of guarantees. Even as more competitors enter the IUL marketplace, our Lifetime Builder product continues to boast the most solid level of guaranteed features in the industry. Let’s take a look/
How often is a “true-up”of the product?It is important to understandnot only the interest ratethat is guaranteed butalso how often the carriercompares the minimumrate to what was actuallycredited. This is called the“true-up” of the product.An annual “true-up” is themost generous. The “true-up”may be at the end ofthe segment term or notuntil policy termination. Thelonger the time until true-up,the greater the impacta prolonged low returnenvironment can have ona policy’s accumulation. Aviva’s guaranteed interest rate level and timing in combination with the guaranteed account value enhancement provide a solid foundation regardless of future index returns.
Another new and exciting feature on Lifetime Builder is the ability for you clients to switch from a variable interest rate loan to a fixed interest rate loan or vice versa. They can do this up to a maximum of three times during the life the contract. You can also illustrate this ability one time in Aviva’s illustration software the Life Portraits Sales Solutions.
