Lincoln Update: Looking for a MYGA Alternative?

Lincoln Partner,

Good morning! Looking for a MYGA Alternative solution since rates have dropped over 100bps?

Check out the OptiBlend Index 5 Annuity!!!

There are many options in the market for clients seeking growth and safety and the Lincoln Financial OptiBlend Fixed Indexed Annuity offers both!  The 1 Year S&P500 Performance Triggered Index is just one option offered in the Lincoln Financial OptiBlend that is a very compelling option to consider. The Lincoln Financial OptiBlend 5 current 1 Year S&P500 Performance Triggered Index rate for 100k or more is 8.65% effective January 15th which will credit the entire rate as long as the S&P500 is flat or up anything for the policy year. 100% protection for clients if the S&P500 is negative for the policy year.

100% allocation 1 Year S&P500 Performance Triggered Index at current rate of 8.65% for 100k or more in the OptiBlend 5.

  • If the S&P500 is negative 1 year out of 5 years = Average return 6.9%
  • If the S&P500 is negative 2 years out of 5 = Average return 5.2%
  • If the S&P500 is negative 3 years out of 5 = Average return 3.5%

What if a client doesn’t want to see a 0% crediting? Consider a 50/50 allocation between the 1 Year S&P500 Performance Triggered Index at 8.65% and the Fixed Account Rate at 4.30%

  • In a policy year that the S&P500 is negative the total interest at current rates would be 2.15% because of the fixed rate crediting regardless of the S&P500 performance.
  • In a policy year that the S&P500 is positive the 1 Year S&P500 Performance Triggered Index and the Fixed Account rate would both credit for a total of 6.5% combined interest.

I’ve included the OptiBlend Index Annuity Rates for 1/15 and I’ve included the National and CA rates for your records.
