Value+ IUL Presented by… You asked for it – and we delivered.
Strong, flexible life protection at a market-leading price -- plus Optionality! Presented by… Value+ IUL is our brand new protection-focused product with ultimate flexibility. It combines many of the advantages of guaranteed universal life with special features and crediting strategies that help significantly reduce costs while delivering maximum value. Better yet, it comes with Optionality – a variety of options for accessing excess cash value in the policy while clients are living, without harming the base policy. While most insurance policies lock-in cash, Value+ IUL includes two completely unique provisions for accessing excess cash value in the policy without reducing your initial death benefit. Accessed cash value can be used to purchase additional, paid-up life insurance without further underwriting, or for any purpose, including supplemental retirement income. Policies issued by The United States Life Insurance Company in the City of New York , a member company of AIG

Benchmark Cash Value: The Minimum Benchmark Cash Value is based on paying the Benchmark Premium for the lifetime of the contract, and is set at a level where, continuing to fund the policy at the Benchmark Premium level after the option date, the policy will in all likelihood remain in force on a reasonable current assumption basis.

S&P 500 Interest Crediting Strategy
Account Option How It Works Potential Advantages Annual Point-to-Point Index Interest Account Interest earned is based in part on the annual change in the S&P 500 (excluding dividends) from one strategy anniversary to the next, subject to the annual index rate cap. If the index is up at then end of the term, interest would be credited to the account. If the index is flat or down at the end of the term the minimum guarantee of 0.25% would be credited. Can provide attractive interest in years where there is an annual point-to-point increase in the value of the S&P 500. The first strategy we will review is the S&P 500 interest crediting strategy which uses an annual point-to-point index interest account method to calculate the potential index return. Here’s how it works…. Interest earned is based on the annual change in the S&P 500 (excluding dividends) from one strategy anniversary to the next, subject to the annual index rate cap. If the index is up at then end of the term, interest would be credited to the account. If the index is flat or down at the end of the term the minimum guarantee would be credited. It can provide attractive interest in years where there is an annual point-to-point increase in the value of the S&P 500.

Just Measuring The Difference Between Two Points In Time
Indexed UL Basics S&P 500 Interest Crediting Strategy Just Measuring The Difference Between Two Points In Time With a one year point to point index strategy all we are doing is measuring the difference between two points in time on a percentage basis…..let’s take a look at an example. Source:
20
S&P 500 Annual Percent Change
S&P 500 Interest Crediting Strategy with a Cap In this example, index strategy: Provides the potential to be credited with up to 10.00% interest each strategy anniversary Guarantees that the annual interest earned will never be less than 0.25% S&P 500 Index Value S&P 500 Annual Percent Change Interest Credited Strategy Creation 1,000 - Anniversary 1 1,112 +10.61% 10.00% Anniversary 2 1,180 +5.93% 5.93% Anniversary 3 1,053 -11.37% 0.25% Let’s look at an example. Here the index strategy provides the potential to be credited with up to 10.00% interest each strategy anniversary. This is referred to as the cap rate. The guarantee in this example will never be less than 0.25%. (review chart) Hypothetical example assumptions: S&P 500 value at 1,000 on issue date and a 10.00% annual index rate cap. Note: The index cap is set at contract issue and subject to change. The example assumes the cap is reset at 10.00% every year.
21
S&P 500 Interest Crediting Strategy with a Participation Rate
Account Option How It Works Potential Advantages Annual Point-to-Point Index Interest Account Interest earned is based on the one year change in the S&P 500 Index from one strategy anniversary to the next. If the result is positive, interest would be credited to the policy. There is no cap on the annual interest. If the result is zero or negative, the minimum guarantee of 0.25% would be credited. Can provide attractive interest in years where there is an annual point-to-point increase in the value of the S&P 500.
22
S&P 500 Annual Percent Change Apply the Participation Rate
S&P 500 Interest Crediting Strategy with a Participation Rate In this example, index strategy: Provides the potential to be credited with an uncapped return with a participation rate of 55% each strategy anniversary S&P 500 Index Value S&P 500 Annual Percent Change Apply the Participation Rate Interest Credited Strategy Creation 1,000 - Anniversary 1 1,083 +8.30% 55% 4.56% Anniversary 2 1,144 +5.63% 3.10% Anniversary 3 1,092 -4.55% 0.25% Hypothetical example assumptions: S&P 500 value at 1,000 on issue date and a 55% annual index participation rate. Note: The index participation rate is set at contract issue and subject to change. The example assumes the cap is reset at 55% every year.
