The company said that the new solution can offer insured the opportunity to earn interest based upon the performance of the S&P 500 Index without the risk of being directly invested in the Index.
Despite the fluctuations of the S&P 500 Index, the accumulation value will never decrease as all four of the indexed interest crediting strategies have a built-in floor.
Beginning the 11th year, Signature Plus IUL will boost returns for loyal customers claims American National.
Additionally, the insurer will give an interest rate enhancement up to 1% from 11 year and continue for the life of the policy, which is expected to increase the rate credited to the sweep account, fixed account, and maturing indexed interest crediting strategies that may lead to growth of long term accumulation values.
