FIA BENEFITS

 

Index-Linked Growth

Your FIA allows you to share in some market gains by earning interest based on the performance of an index like the S&P 500®.

 

Flexibility

Our FIAs offer three crediting strategies for you to earn interest - two based on the S&P 500® and a third that credits a fixed interest rate. Each year you will have the option to reallocate your funds among the three strategies.

 

Tax-deferred Growth

You only pay income tax on your money when you begin taking withdrawals. Until then, more of your money works for you.

 

 

Leave a Legacy

Leave a legacy for your beneficiaries and avoid probate. Your FIA will pay the full value of your annuity as a death benefit if you pass away.

 

Principal Protection

Although your annuity may grow with positive market performance, your funds are not directly invested in the stock market or S&P 500® Index. As a result, your annuity is guaranteed to never decrease in value even during periods of negative index performance.

 

No Administrative Fees or Charges

With no set-up or administrative charges, your entire premium accumulates interest immediately.

 

 

 


As an illustration of the power of principal protection, the following example compares the performance of $100,000 in premium in an accumulation-focused FIA with the performance of $100,000 invested in the S&P 500®.
 

Power of Principal Protection


This is a hypothetical example and does not illustrate the future results of either the market or the Western United Life New Horizon FIA. This example assumes no partial or full surrenders and that all funds are allocated to the Point-to-Point with Cap Strategy at a cap of 6%. Actual and future cap rates may be above or below this amount. This example is for illustrative purposes only and does not represent the performance of any specific product or investment.
