Welcome. In this presentation we will review 2 unique sales concepts from American General Life. Policies issued by American General Life Insurance Company ("AGL“)

Income, Guarantees or Both?
What do you need most? More potential income or more guarantees?

Background For long-term life insurance needs, there are a variety of ‘permanent’ insurance options. Some focus on guaranteeing that insurance coverage is there when it is needed, while others provide the potential for tax-advantaged, cash benefits – which may be used to supplement retirement income. Which is best for you? Let’s look at some background information for this concept. For long-term life insurance needs, there are a variety of ‘permanent’ insurance options.

The Problem Meet Grant; a 45-year-old pediatrician; married with three kids; needs $500K of additional coverage. His investments suffered in the recent recession; wants to ensure family’s long-term protection. Likes the long-term guarantees in a Guaranteed Universal Life (GUL) policy; but there’s no real cash value for potential income. Likes potential for supplemental retirement income from Index Universal Life (IUL), but there are fewer guarantees than in GUL. Willing to contribute $9,700/year for 20 years (to age 65) for additional coverage and potential retirement income.

It is a hypothetical representation for illustrative purposes, only.

SOLUTIONS For $9,700/year, Grant’s financial professional offers him two interesting options: Solution 1 - Emphasizing the income potential A $500K Max Accumulator+ IUL policy: Takes advantage of the current markets for growth potential; Offers an illustrated $26K/year of tax-free income at retirement lasting 20 years; Current (non-guaranteed) coverage that can last Grant’s entire life; Guaranteed coverage ends at his retirement.² Now let’s review some potential solutions. For $9,700/year, Grant’s financial professional offers him two interesting options: Solution 1 - Emphasizing the income potential A $500K Max Accumulator+ IUL policy: Takes advantage of the current markets for growth potential; Offers an illustrated $26K/year of tax-free income at retirement lasting 20 years; Current (non-guaranteed) coverage lasts Grant’s entire life; Guaranteed coverage ends at his retirement. 2 For the purpose of easing the explanation, all numbers have been rounded. The numbers in both solutions were based on illustrations dated 10/28/16 for a 45-year-old male, preferred non-tobacco with premiums paid until age 65. The IUL policies showed the increasing death benefit option until age 65 and all distributions were illustrated using tax-free loans. Policy loans will reduce the life insurance death benefit and cash value and could reduce the duration of coverage. Policy owners should consult a tax advisor to determine the effect of these proportions. The IUL policies illustrated assume the use of Max Accum’s Core Cap Account (utilizing S&P 500 Index) at a 6% crediting rate. Please ask your financial professional for a Basic Illustration. Certain features and riders are optional and subject to specific terms, limitations and restrictions. Please refer to the policy for details.

SOLUTIONS For $9,700/year, Grant’s financial professional offers him two interesting options: Solution 2 – Focusing on guarantees A $250K Max Accumulator+ IUL policy AND a $250K Secure Lifetime GUL3 policy: • IUL policy offers an illustrated $19K of tax-free income at retirement lasting 20 years; • GUL policy provides guaranteed insurance coverage until age 95; • This scenario provides a 30-year income stream. • This GUL policy provides a guaranteed income of $19K/year (after tax) for 10 years starting at age 86. (This GUL policy includes a Lifestyle Income Solution® Rider that provides income right from the death benefit - guaranteed!²) But there is another option: Solution 2 – Focusing on guarantees. A $250K Max Accumulator+ IUL policy and a $250K Secure Lifetime GUL3 policy: IUL policy offers an illustrated $19K of tax-free income at retirement lasting 20 years; GUL policy provides guaranteed insurance coverage until age 95; This scenario provides a 30-year income stream.

Compare the Solutions Here compare the guaranteed death benefit amount and durations for the 2 concepts. This hypothetical example assumes a 6% annual index interest calculation and is for illustrative purposes only. It does not reflect current interest crediting rates, cap rates or participation rates. It does not reflect the return of any investment and is not a guarantee of future income.

Summary Grant wanted the most out of his insurance program, but had concerns about guaranteeing his family the protection they deserve. His financial professional offered two solutions: 1) Maximize the potential for supplemental income; or 2) Lower income potential with stronger death benefit and income guarantees. Which one do you think he chose? In summary Grant wanted the most out of his insurance program, but had concerns about guaranteeing his family the protection they deserve.

What if you could knock out three birds with one stone?
One policy can help with life insurance, chronic illness coverage and retirement income.
11
We call it the plan! What if you could buy permanent life insurance, guaranteed to age 100 with a chronic illness benefit where you can: Pay premiums for 10 years; Wait for 10 years; and Get your money back over 10 years – as a supplemental retirement benefit.

Background While term insurance is the most popular form of life insurance policy – mostly because it’s inexpensive up front – it only provides temporary coverage. For longer term (permanent) needs, there are a variety of choices – with one of the most secure and economical options being Guaranteed Universal Life (GUL). Often, GUL is a ‘no frills’ policy – offering few additional benefits. But, the Secure Lifetime GUL 3 provides innovative extras!

Problem Let’s look at a hypothetical example.
George is 50 years old and looking for $1,000,000 of coverage for his family. He wants to provide life insurance for his spouse well into retirement, but sees that need dropping as he approaches the latter retirement years. He is also concerned about the impact of a chronic illness on his retirement.1 Here is the problem: Let’s look at a hypothetical example.

Solution: The 10-10-10 Plan2 He pays $24K/yr for 10 years.
Then, he pays nothing for 10 years. Then he takes $24K/yr out of the policy for 10 years (tax free!) using a unique feature of this policy – The Lifestyle Income Solution! This withdrawal of $24k / year for 10 years from the policy will reduce the amount of life insurance coverage to $420,000. The solution is the plan! He pays $24K/yr for 10 years.
