3 Issues Affecting the Descent
(Distribution Phase) Having enough income Low interest rate market Medical expenses Extended Healthcare costs Everyone needs a plan to get down the mountain securely. Certain obstacles can send you on detours or make you halt your descent altogether. These issues and obstacles can include: Having enough retirement income Low interest rate market Rising healthcare costs Having enough income to pay for long-term care

4 What is LTC from a planning perspective?
It is simply – another retirement expense that causes your client’s income needs to increase Read slide

5 “What could cause this to happen?”
Questions to ask your clients: “In your retirement years, what would be the reason for your income needs to suddenly skyrocket?” “For Example: You are living well on $70,000 per year. Suddenly, you need an additional $125,000 per year in income on top of the $70,000 you are already using.” “What could cause this to happen?” During the descent, what would be the reason for your client’s income needs to suddenly skyrocket? Example: Your client is living well on $100,000 per year. Suddenly, they call you stating they need to start taking out an additional $70,000 per year on top of the $100,000 they are already using. What would cause that to happen? (ask for audience participation)

6 Concept of Self-Funding
Aggressive $125k Moderate $125k $125k $125k Conservative Self-funding LTC expenses requires the spending down of one’s own assets to pay for LTC expenses.

7 Life Insurance (Asset Care) Annuity (Annuity Care)
Concept of OneAmerica Care Solutions Base Policy Continuation of Benefits Rider Funding: Single premium Recurring Premiums Life Insurance (Asset Care) OR Annuity (Annuity Care) Funding: Single Premium Recurring premiums Non-qualified annuities Cash value life insurance This diagram that I will show you will explain how this concept really works! We call this our “Timeline”. The base policy uses a life insurance policy or annuity to serve as a “deductible”. Once the base policy is exhausted, the “Rider” kicks in and keeps paying the benefit for lifetime. You may fund the life policy via cash, CDs, savings, life insurance cash values, and qualified retirement money! There are also payment options available for those using an income stream to pay rather than an asset reposition. The annuity option uses non-qualified money only. The Rider may be funded by single premium or fixed annual premiums. These premiums are guaranteed to never increase and have tax incentives.

8 Underwriting – Annuity Care
Underwriting Process No paramed exams No medical records A 15-minute telephone interview is required if the Continuation of Benefits rider is being applied for No phone interview is necessary when applying for the Base Policy only Additional Notes Underwriting is based on Morbidity risk only (Mortality risk is not a concern) Applicants are either approved or declined. There are no smoker/non-smoker or preferred/standard/substandard rating classes. We can consider applicants that may not be eligible for Asset Care or other Life/LTC products due to medical history

Annuity statistics High-level overview $2.032 = total assets of retirement annuities trillion Statista, 2017 Survey $95.6 $108 = 2017 variable annuity sales = 2017 fixed annuity sales LIMRA Secure Retirement Institute, billion billion The potential to use annuities to fund LTC expenses is also significant, because the annuity market is so large. There are huge numbers of assets in annuities and the average age of annuity owners is around where preparing for LTC becomes more important. 51 = average purchase age of nonqualified annuities years Annuity Purchasers Are Getting Younger, Rachel Summit,

10 Is your client’s non-qualified annuity where it should be?
Annuity marketplace Annuities are typically purchased for the following reasons: 1 3 Guaranteed lifetime income Growth Is your client’s non-qualified annuity where it should be? 4 2 Additional benefits to guard against catastrophic illness Tax deferral Low interest rate market Need to find value in an annuity in today’s market. Adding long term care can add value to an annuity

11 Annuity statistics High-level overview
How many will pass away with an annuity? How many are utilizing their income riders? Read slide.

12 According to a Gallup poll of nonqualified annuity owners:
Annuities 83% intend to use their annuity to avoid being a financial burden on their children. 73% intend to use their annuity as an emergency fund for catastrophic illness or nursing home care. According to a Gallup poll of nonqualified annuity owners: Research indicates that annuity owners purchased their annuity with unexpected medical and health care costs in mind.

13 Pension Protection Act (PPA) Effective Jan. 1, 2010
It’s important that clients understand the power of the Pension Protection Act (PPA) and how it should influence their thinking when pre-planning for long-term care expenses. The PPA became effective Basically, the government is giving us a tax incentive to plan for long-term care expenses. The act allows a Tax-free Exchange of a Non-qualified annuity into a HIPAA qualified. PPA eligible annuity, and any withdrawals for qualified long-term care expenses are income tax free! In this example, a client has a $150,000 NQ annuity with $50,000 basis. If a client has earmarked this annuity for emergencies…which almost always means health related expenses, they need to be informed that when they make a withdrawal from that existing NQ annuity, the gain will come out first and that creates a taxable event. If the client 1035 exchanges that into an Annuity Care policy, and withdrawals for qualified long-term care expenses are income tax fee. The client cannot leverage their existing annuity as well by leaving it as is, there are no tax advantages for LTC expenses. Let’s look at some examples.

14 Common annuity features Mistaken for PPA benefit
FIA income riders that double or triple for confinement Terminal illness waiver These are common annuity features that could be confused with a HIPPA qualified (Pension Protection Act) Care benefits. The utilization of these annuity features may require a considerable waiting period and/or may be restricted to licensed facilities Nursing home waiver For use with financial professionals only. Not for public distribution.

15 The opportunity And ideal scenarios
Any client with an existing annuity not earmarked for income and who currently has no care plan in place Clients holding annuities when income isn’t needed Clients with “old” annuities Clients who are not exposed to PPA benefits Clients with health issues Any client with an existing annuity or cash not earmarked for income and who currently have no care plan in place. Clients 70-85 with “old” annuities where interest rate guarantees or surrender charges pose a problem for the1035 exchange into another annuity. Clients holding annuities with income benefit charges however it turns out income isn’t needed after all. Agent who has existing book of clients with annuities yet these clients have not been exposed to benefits available through the PPA. Clients who have applied or were interested in LTCi or Life based LTC however health issues were a concern. For use with financial professionals only. Not for public distribution.

16 Concept of Annuity-based LTC Annuity Care
Aggressive Moderate Cash value LTC benefits $100k Conservative $250k Typical portfolio assets: Aggressive - Assets positioned for significant growth with the acceptance of the risk of loss of principal Moderate - Assets positioned for some growth with the acceptance of some downside risk Conservative - Assets positioned for conservation of principal, often with guarantees Annuity-based LTC solutions such as Annuity Care are similar in concept to Life-based solutions. $400k Lifetime LTC (unlimited)

22 ($10,416 per month for 24 months)
Indexed Annuity Care - Basic Strategy (base only) Female, age 81, has $125k in an existing NQ annuity with a 3% interest rate Fixed indexed annuity $250,000 single premium (1035 exchange) $250,000 $125,000 per year for 2 years ($10,416 per month for 24 months) Here is an example of an 81 year old female that had an annuity, approximately $250,000.  When asked “what will you use this money for?”  She said, “I don’t currently need to use this for income so if I use this money it will probably be for some kind of emergency or I will end up passing it on to my kids when I die.”  What an ‘emergency’ meant to her was health care- more specifically, long-term care. Here are the details: this annuity had a 3% minimum rate guarantee.  In order for this fixed annuity to be 1035 exchanged to another fixed indexed annuity it would need to show a great value to pass the best interest requirements because of the higher guaranteed interest rate. That is one of the benefits to Indexed Annuity Care!  The value that is created by adding long-term care and tax-free dollars for LTC expenses helps with your best interest requirements for your client. We showed her Option A which is 1035 exchanging her $250,000 into our Indexed Annuity Care base contract. This is designed to last for 24 months if care is needed providing $10,400 per month or $124,800 annually for two years. It also has a guaranteed “step up” or increase for LTC expenses.

25 $10,416 per month for 24 months ($125,000 per year for two years)
Indexed Annuity Care Advantages of Basic Strategy Guaranteed increase multiplier “Step up” for LTC Ability to use her money in two years penalty-free No tele-interview Tax-free for LTC expenses If she decided on the Basic strategy, she would have the benefit of a “step up” for LTC which we call a Multiplier. She wouldn’t have to have a telephone interview although she would need to answer some health questions on the application. The ability to use her money over a two year period without paying a surrender period can be a very attractive feature! This annuity is a Pension Protection Act compliant annuity which allows withdrawals for LTC expenses to be considered income tax-free! Option A would generate a minimum $10,400 per month for 24 months which is $124,800 per year for two years $10,416 per month for 24 months ($125,000 per year for two years)

26 Indexed Annuity Care - Leveraged Strategy (Base + Rider) Female, age 81, has $250k in an existing NQ annuity with a 3% interest rate Fixed indexed annuity Continuation of Benefits Rider $250,000 single premium (1035 exchange) $170,760 $79,240 LIFETIME $170,760 $85,380 per year for LIFETIME ($7,115 per month for LIFETIME) We also showed her The Leveraged strategy. She was shown that by 1035 exchanging her $250,000 to Annuity Care, a piece could be “carved out” to pay for the lifetime rider.  That amount would have been a taxable event, but because of the Pension Protection Act, it is viewed as a legitimate LTC expense, therefore, the rider cost didn’t generate a 1099 to the client!  Why was this a great benefit to her? Option B provides her $7,115 per month for the rest of her life – guaranteed. This would equal $85,380 per year for the rest of her life! She would have to earn 34% guaranteed for life in another annuity to get the equivalent annual benefit! For use with financial professionals only. Not for public distribution.
