NEW YORK – AXA US, a leader in providing financial security and retirement products, announced today that it is extending the no-lapse guarantee on its BrightLife® Protect, protection Indexed Universal Life policy. With a “no-math” guarantee to age 90 for level annual premium payments, there’s no guesswork or calculation, just a simple number clients can rely on.1 The powerful combination of this new, simple no-lapse guarantee and AXA’s competitive long-term care option, lets clients live more today, keep more of what they earn with tax-deferred growth and potentially build more cash value that they can actually use.
“At AXA, we are always looking for ways to best meet our clients’ ever-changing needs”, explained Ron Herrmann, Head of Life Business for AXA US. “By extending the guarantee, we’re able to help our clients adjust to life’s changes, stay protected and have peace of mind for the future.”
For the same competitive cost, the clients’ coverage is now guaranteed to age 90 when purchased at age 50 or older, or for 40 years if purchased under age 50.1
Other important features of BrightLife® Protect:
· A Competitive long-term care rider.
o By applying for added flexibility and protection under the Long-Term Care ServicesSM Rider, one of the most competitive in the industry, clients can help prepare for the unexpected.2
· Cash value flexibility.
o Clients can help build more wealth with a growth component to their protection. Potential growth is tied to a market index up to a cap, with a downside protection and the advantages of tax deferral. Plus, they can actually use that wealth by taking cash value withdrawals, if their circumstances change.3
· Cost-effective death benefit.
o Provides one of the most cost-effective protection policies available, with a death benefit for one of the lowest projected costs in the industry.
1 Coverage is guaranteed to age 90, or for 40 years if the policy is purchased under age 50, as long as the required guarantee premium is paid.
2 The Long-Term Care ServicesSM Rider does have an additional cost and is subject to restrictions and limitations. Clients may qualify for life insurance, but not for the Long-Term Care ServicesSM Rider.
3 Policy owners would be accessing the cash value through loans and withdrawals. Loans and withdrawals reduce the policy cash value and death benefit, may cause certain policy benefits or riders to become unavailable, and increases the chance that the policy may lapse. If the policy lapses, is surrendered or becomes a Modified Endowment Contract (MEC), the loan balance at the time would generally be viewed as distributed and taxable under the general rules for distribution of policy cash values.
