Elite Survivor Index II offers three interest-crediting accounts to fit individual needs – a declared interest account with a 2% guaranteed minimum annual interest rate, a choice between two index interest accounts with interest crediting linked to the S&P 500 with a minimum annual guaranteed interest rate of 0.25 percent, regardless of index performance.

In addition, Elite Survivor Index II will be a smart choice for consumers such as couples who need tax-advantaged supplemental retirement income, couples with children from previous marriages and who want to leave charitable gifts, grandparents who wish to leave a legacy for a grandchild, and other business partners.

AIG Global Consumer Insurance president, life insurance James Mallon said: "This is permanent life insurance with the potential for cash value accumulation, tax advantages and premium flexibility — and we believe it can serve as an appropriate solution for many family and business needs."

AIG Global Consumer Insurance vice president of product strategy and implementation Tim Heslin said: "Elite Survivor Index II provides the benefits of traditional universal life insurance along with the potential for greater growth in policy value."

Further, a new Choice Loan1 option allows access to the funds while they remain eligible for index interest, so this is life insurance you don’t have to die to use," he added.
