NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–A-CAP and Saybrus Partners today announced the launch of Retirement Plus Multiplier Annuity, a single premium fixed indexed annuity. The annuity is the latest addition to a wide breadth of products issued by two of A-CAP’s insurance subsidiaries, Sentinel Security Life Insurance Company and Atlantic Coast Life Insurance Company. The product is available through Saybrus Partners and a select group of independent distributors. Annuity holders will have exclusive access to the Goldman Sachs Motif Aging of America Dynamic Balance Index (“Thematic Index”).

The Retirement Plus Multiplier Annuity features four crediting strategies, a fixed interest account, principal protection from loss, and a choice of accumulation or income enhancing benefits to create a customized solution for retirees’ individual goals. The uniqueness of the Retirement Plus Multiplier Annuity, which is the first of its kind, is its exclusive access to the Thematic Index. The Thematic Index provides exposure to equities and fixed income, with targeted exposure to companies in the healthcare and real estate sectors that may benefit from the growth in the older population in the United States.

The Thematic Index coupled with the A-CAP insurance platform and the Retirement Plus Multiplier Annuity will allow seniors to grow their retirement returns based on a unique formula tailored to the needs of the aging senior market.

“Client financial needs in retirement are a delicate balance of opportunity and risk,” said Doug George, Head of Life and Annuity for A-CAP. “Our team has been working hard to bring to market a compelling planning vehicle that offers clients a way to reap the rewards of long-term growth trends while achieving a level of security and reliability for their hard-earned savings. Retirement Plus Multiplier Annuity delivers on those objectives in a package that can be customized based on the client’s personal goals and priorities. This launch marks a pivotal moment for the retirement industry.”

Additionally, annuity holders will have the unique flexibility to tailor their contract by choosing from a Growth Benefit or Income Multiplier Benefit. The Growth Benefit provides enhanced crediting rates on the annuity’s indexed accounts, improving the contract’s ability to participate in positive market performance. The Income Multiplier Benefit provides a Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit (GLWB) that offers an income enhancing bonus of up to 60+ percent of the contract’s accumulation value depending on when the client will need income.

“Baby Boomers are reshaping the face of retirement in many ways,” said Andrew Sheen, Managing Director, Product Development for Saybrus Partners. “The impressive size and lifestyle focus of this group is driving expansion and demand for new offerings in sectors like healthcare and real estate. With the unique index crediting strategies offered within Retirement Plus Multiplier Annuity, contract holders can participate in the potential growth of the companies that serve their own demographic.”

Introducing Our Newest Annuity - Safe Anchor Market Guarantee Sentinel Secuirity Life Logo

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

OLDWICK – OCTOBER 03, 2017
A.M. Best has upgraded the Financial Strength Rating (FSR) to B++ (Good) from B+ (Good) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating (Long-Term ICR) to “bbb” from “bbb-“ of Atlantic Coast Life Insurance Company (ACLI) (Charleston, SC). Additionally, A.M. Best has affirmed the FSR of B++ (Good) and the Long-Term ICR of “bbb” of Sentinel Security Life Insurance Company (Sentinel) (Salt Lake City, UT). The outlook of these Credit Ratings (ratings) is stable. Both companies are collectively referred to as A-CAP Group (A-CAP). A-CAP’s ultimate parent is Advantage Capital Holdings, LLC (ACH), which is domiciled in Delaware.

The rating upgrades of ACLI recognize the improved balance sheet and operating profile trends over the past several years, as well as the enhanced financial flexibility, operating synergies and management expertise derived as part of its affiliation with the A-CAP group. The rating affirmations of Sentinel reflect its continued balance sheet and earnings stability, and new premium growth in the annuity product segments under the new ownership of A-CAP. A-CAP markets final expense whole life, Medicare supplement, Medicare select and preneed insurance plans, along with fixed annuities, through well-established non-captive general and associate general agent distribution networks, as well as through a growing broker channel. The ratings recognize improved capitalization, significant distribution expansion and premium growth in core business lines, as well as additional capital support in the near term from ACH to support anticipated strong business growth.

These strengths are partially offset by heavy reliance on reinsurance, which is secured by collateral, to relieve statutory strain within A-CAP. Furthermore, A-CAP has purchased reinsurance from some unrated reinsurance entities that create a contingent reinsurance counterparty risk at A-CAP if there is a failure of the reinsurer that is not covered by collateral held. Additionally, although Sentinel has reduced its reliance on structured products, such as collateralized loan obligations, this type of investment may have liquidity pressure during stressed economic scenarios, and accordingly, remains a potential rating concern. The fixed income portfolio is primarily investment-grade securities and is performing well, with some exposure to below investment grade securities.

This press release relates to Credit Ratings that have been published on A.M. Best’s website. For all rating information relating to the release and pertinent disclosures, including details of the office responsible for issuing each of the individual ratings referenced in this release, please see A.M. Best’s Recent Rating Activity web page. For additional information regarding the use and limitations of Credit Rating opinions, please view Understanding Best’s Credit Ratings.
