For your clients who prefer a more conservative approach to saving for retirement, Pacific Advisory Fixed Indexed Annuity offers principal protection and the ability to pursue tax-deferred growth without directly investing in the market.

Client Profiles

Consider Pacific Advisory Fixed Indexed Annuity for pre-retirees and retirees who:

Highlights

 

Pacific Advisory Fixed Indexed Annuity combines the guarantees of a fixed annuity with the growth potential linked to the performance of market-based indexes. It’s not a security, and money is not directly invested in the market. It offers:

  • No withdrawal charges, so clients can access money when they need to.
  • No loss of principal due to market downturns.
  • Earned interest that is locked in as a result of positive index performance.
  • An advisory fee-friendly structure that ensures allowable fees paid from nonqualified (previously taxed) contracts will not be treated as a taxable distribution and do not negatively impact the determination of index-linked interest credited to the annuity.

All guarantees are subject to the claims-paying ability and financial strength of the issuing insurance company. 

 

Withdrawal Charges and Fees

Pacific Advisory Fixed Indexed Annuity has no withdrawal charges. During the 5-year initial option period, a positive or negative market value adjustment (MVA) may apply on certain withdrawals.

 

Advisory Fee Withdrawals

When paid from nonqualified (previously taxed) contracts, advisory fee withdrawals are not treated as taxable distributions if the fee does not exceed an annual rate of 1.50% of the contract value during the calendar year. Withdrawals from the contract to pay advisory fees will reduce the contract value.

 

Market Value Adjustments (MVAs)

MVAs may apply to withdrawals during the initial option period in excess of 10% of the prior anniversary’s contract value (10% of purchase payments of in the first year). There is no MVA assessed on allowable advisory fee withdrawals or withdrawals made after the initial option period has expired.

In addition, MVA will be waived for:

  • Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) withdrawals (only if calculated by Pacific Life).
  • Withdrawals after the first contract year if diagnosed with a terminal illness (life expectancy of 12 months or fewer). Not available in CA.
  • Withdrawals after 90 days of contract issue if confined to an accredited facility that provides skilled nursing care and/or long-term care services for 30 days or more. Not available in CA or MA.
  • Death benefit proceeds.
  • Annuity income payments (available after the first contract year).

For more information about the MVA formula, please refer to the MVA endorsement detailed in the contract summary. View daily index yields for the J.P. Morgan 10-Year U.S. Liquid Index here.

 

Income Options

After the first contract year, clients may elect to receive income payments through fixed annuitization options.1 There are a variety of options available, including options that will guarantee income for two lives and options that will continue to make payments to a beneficiary after the death of the annuitant(s). Please see the contract for more information on electing to receive annuity income payments and the available annuity income options.

Annuity withdrawals are taxable as ordinary income when distributed and may be subject to a 10% additional tax if withdrawn before age 59½. For nonqualified contracts, an additional 3.8% federal tax may apply on net investment income. Withdrawals will reduce the contract value and the value of the death benefits.

 

1For qualified contracts, the maximum length of time for the Period Certain options may be less than 10 years, if necessary, to comply with required minimum distribution (RMD) regulations for annuities as well as provisions as a result of the Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement (SECURE) Act.

Pacific Advisory Fixed Indexed Annuity offers multiple ways to earn interest.

The Fixed Account option earns a fixed rate of interest, is guaranteed for one contract year, and is credited on a daily basis.

Index-linked options may earn interest based on positive movement of an index during the index term and are credited on an annual basis.

Clients can choose to allocate to any combination of the following:

  • S&P 500® Annual Point-to-Point Option
  • S&P 500® Annual Performance-Triggered Index Option
  • MSCI EAFE® Annual Point-to-Point Option
  • MSCI EAFE® Annual Performance-Triggered Index Option
  • Fixed Account Option

 

Breakpoints

Breakpoints provide the potential to increase the interest earned on the contract value. There are two ways to qualify for a breakpoint:

  • If the total purchase payments is $250,000 or more
  • If the contract value on a contract anniversary is $250,000 or more

 

Fee-Friendly

Regardless of the index-linked options chosen, the value used to calculate the index-linked interest (ILI) will not be reduced by allowable advisory fee1 withdrawals during the index term. So, unlike some other fixed indexed annuities, advisory fees will not negatively impact the ILI that may be credited for the contract year and will not create a taxable event.

 

1Allowable advisory fees are advisory fee withdrawals that do not exceed an annual rate of 1.50% of the contract value during the calendar year. Withdrawals from the contract to pay advisory fees will reduce the contract value.

Guaranteed rates and caps will never be set below the minimum or above the maximum stated in the contract. Pacific Life determines, at its discretion, guaranteed rates and caps in excess of the minimum or above the maximum guaranteed in the contract.

The indexes are not available for direct investment, and index performance does not include the reinvestment of dividends.

If death of the first owner or last annuitant occurs before annuity income payments begin, a death benefit equal to the contract value is paid to clients' beneficiaries.

Minimum Purchase Payment: $25,000 (qualified and nonqualified).

All cash payments and 1035 exchange/transfer requests must be submitted with the application. Subsequent payments up to $100,000 are permitted within the first 60 days after contract issue.

Maximum Annuitant/Owner Issue Age: 85

Maximum Annuitization Age: 100

Fixed indexed annuities are not securities and do not participate directly in the stock market or any index, so they are not investments.

Under current law, a nonqualified annuity that is owned by an individual is generally entitled to tax deferral. IRAs and qualified plans—such as 401(k)s and 403(b)s—are already tax-deferred. Therefore, a deferred annuity should be used only to fund an IRA or qualified plan to benefit from the annuity’s features other than tax deferral. These features include lifetime income, death benefit options, and the ability to transfer among investment options without sales or withdrawal charges.

Annuity withdrawals and other distributions of taxable amounts, including death benefit payouts, will be subject to ordinary income tax. For nonqualified contracts, an additional 3.8% federal tax may apply on net investment income. If withdrawals and other distributions are taken prior to age 59½, an additional 10% federal tax may apply. A market value adjustment (MVA) also may apply. Withdrawals will reduce the contract value and the value of the death benefit.
