National Western Life will be the first life insurance company to utilize the Achaean product technology, which because of its novel and pioneering structure, will present new and creative solutions for the financial marketplace. National Western Life recently filed the product with insurance regulators and is planning a 2022 third quarter launch.
Introduced as NWL® Income +, the product will provide lifetime income that delivers on two key features advisors and their clients are looking for in an income product: a highly competitive initial annuity payment, and an innovative growth component that presents an opportunity for increasing income to help policyholders keep pace with inflation. NWL® Income + is planned to be marketed as a stand-alone product to secure an immediate income stream today and may be offered as an option on select deferred annuity products in the future.
