21 FOR FINANCIAL PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY-NOT FOR PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION Policy Loans  AG 49 will limit the interest rate differential that can be illustrated between the interest rate credited to loaned amounts and the corresponding loan rate that is charged to that balance (sometimes referred to as “loan leverage” or “loan arbitrage”).  If the illustration includes a policy loan, the illustrated rate credited to the loan balance cannot exceed the illustrated loan charge by more than 1%. – effective

22 FOR FINANCIAL PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY-NOT FOR PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION How will this change affect American General Life’s IUL products?  American General Life’s IUL products currently offer a fixed participating loan called a Choice Loan which charges a 6% loan rate.  AG 49 will now limit the max illustrated rate that could possibly be credited to the loaned balance to 1% more than the 6%, which results in 7% in this example, or the stated policy maximum illustrated rate if it is lower.  Illustrations also include a mandatory ledger at an alternate 6% illustrated rate.
