  • Eagle Life Insurance Company® Announces New Indices and Growth Potential Options for FIA Products

    April 19, 2022 by Eagle Life Insurance Company

    WEST DES MOINES, Iowa–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Eagle Life Insurance Company®, a provider of fixed and fixed index annuities, has announced several enhancements designed to broaden diversification options and boost growth opportunities on its fixed index annuity portfolio.

    New indices and rider enhance growth, diversification options

    Eagle Life is adding two new index options and a Performance Rate Rider to the Eagle Select® Focus Series and Eagle Select® Income Focus fixed index annuities. This is in addition to the existing index options, which include the S&P 500® Index and the S&P 500® Dividend Aristocrats® Daily Risk Control 5% Excess Return Index.

    “We specifically added these new indices, along with the Performance Rate Rider, to enrich our fixed index annuity offering above and beyond the principal protection and guaranteed lifetime income the products already provide,” said Eagle Life President Graham Day.

    “The new indices allow Eagle Life to offer global diversification options, and give clients additional ways to grow their retirement dollars,” said Day. “And with the new Performance Rate Rider, clients can have the opportunity to enjoy the benefit of greater upside potential.”

    Franklin Global Trends IndexSM (Ticker: FTGTREND) —

    The Power of global diversification

    This multi-asset index brings the first global option into the Eagle Life portfolio. Comprised of both national and global asset classes, it allows for broad diversification and the opportunity for clients to boost the growth potential of their Eagle Life fixed index annuity. By dynamically allocating across 10 global asset classes — including equities, fixed income and alternatives — the index provides risk management, with an active approach to allocation based on market trends and the ability to pivot as needed due to market volatility.

    “We are excited to partner with Eagle Life on introducing the Franklin Global Trends Index. This index brings essential diversification elements to clients in that global asset classes can serve as important drivers of portfolio return and risk reduction,” said Doug Sue, Vice President and Senior Client Portfolio Manager at Franklin Templeton Investment Solutions. “We believe the launch of this index on the Eagle Life annuity platform is an important representation of Franklin Templeton’s commitment to this growing space within retirement savings.”

    Invesco Dynamic Growth Index (Ticker: IIDGROW) —

    Spotlighting the growth advantage

    This index focuses on growth and seeks to optimize performance by dynamically combining U.S. equities and bonds, and matching allocation strategies to one of four economic cycles — recovery, expansion, slowdown or contraction. It addresses risk by monitoring market performance and making intra-day allocation adjustments as needed.

    “We are excited to work together with Eagle Life on a product that uses systematic factor investing to address the diverse needs of clients,” said Andrew Waisburd, Head of Invesco Indexing. “Invesco Indexing is uniquely situated to leverage the expertise of Invesco’s factor investment teams, which allows us to provide compelling index solutions for fixed index annuities.”

    New optional rider increases growth potential

    With the new Performance Rate Rider, clients can help enhance the growth potential of their Eagle Life fixed index annuity by taking the option to pay a rider cost and add the rider to any participation rate index-linked crediting strategy. This optional rider gives clients the opportunity to increase participation rates on the annuity’s crediting strategy, which could potentially boost the amount of interest credited to it. The cost for applying the PRR to selected crediting strategies will not change for the length of the annuity’s surrender charge period.
