Genworth

Risk and Planning for Retirement -- Think Genworth
Ask your producers to discuss the following: Mr. & Mrs. Client, the value of your money over time, say 6 or 7 years from now, is impacted by the risks you take. What risks are important for you to avoid? Here are some which can have negative impact on the value of your accounts over time:   

  • Paying too much federal and state taxes (SPDA are Tax Deferred, a SPIA is Tax Efficient) 
  • Poorly performing investments, known as Market Risk (Genworth's SPDA rates are Guaranteed, SPIA benefit amount is Guaranteed)  
  • Not planning well enough for retirement (Genworth's SPDA rates are Guaranteed, and SPIA can cover essential expenses) 
  • Not maintaining purchasing power  (Genworth's SPDA rates are Guaranteed, SPIA can include Cost of Living Adjustment)

 

Consider Genworth, our rates are competitive: 

  • SL Income Provider - our Single Premium Immediate Annuity (we are strong in 10 yr period certain and Life with 10 yr period certain, as well as Life with Cash Refund and Life with Installment Refund...we also have the longest period certain payouts up to 50 years).
  • SL Rate Saver - MYGA with choice of 5 or 7 yr guarantee (7 yr is the hottest rate in the marketplace right now)
  • SL Liberty - 6yr chassis with choice of 1, 3 or 5 yr guarantee with an annual bailout rate after the guarantee (clean walk-away after 6 years)
  • SL Independence - Bonus product with a 6 yr chassis with first 2 years guaranteed (a minimum guarantee of 2.00% in years 3-6 which is relatively high right now)
  • SL Smart Rate - is a 7 yr chassis with a choice of 1, 3 or 5 yr guarantee (the best 2 features of this product are Return of Premium and higher comp)
