1 Policy loans and withdrawals will reduce the available cash value and death benefit and may cause the policy to lapse, or affect guarantees against lapse. Withdrawals in excess of premiums paid will be subject to ordinary income tax. Additional premium payments may be required to keep the policy in force. In the event of a lapse, outstanding policy loans in excess of unrecovered cost basis will be subject to ordinary income tax. If a policy is a modified endowment contract (MEC), policy loans and withdrawals will be taxable as ordinary income to the extent there are earnings in the policy. If any of these features are exercised prior to age 59½ on a MEC, a 10% federal additional tax may be imposed. Tax laws are subject to change and you should consult a tax professional.
The Index Lock feature is available with select index allocation options.
Because the Index Lock occurs at the end of the business day, the index value used to determine interest credited may be higher or lower than the index value at the time of request.
When using sales material with clients, please ensure all applicable accompanying product brochures and/or marketing materials are presented.
2 Setting targets authorizes Allianz to automatically activate an Index Lock once the target is reached, based on the index interest rate percentage at the end of the business day. Because of this, the index interest rate percentage may be higher or lower than the target. This service may be discontinued at any time.
3 You may activate an Index Lock manually online at any time, as long as an Auto Lock hasn’t already been activated. Activating Index Lock manually will cancel any current targets that are set for the current crediting period. If you decide to activate Index Lock manually – or if neither target has been reached at the end of the current crediting period – you will need to set new targets for the next crediting period.
4 Setting targets authorizes Allianz to automatically activate an Index Lock once the target is reached, based on the index interest rate percentage at the end of the business day.
