Pacific Odyssey® Advantage


An Advisory Variable Annuity Offering Protected Lifetime Income

Pacific Odyssey Advantage features fee-friendly optional benefits that can address clients' lifetime income planning and legacy needs, all while fitting seamlessly into your practice.

 

Client Profiles

Consider Pacific Odyssey Advantage for pre-retirees and retirees who:

  • Could benefit from deferring taxes to later years.
  • Have tax-inefficient investments and would appreciate actively trading and rebalancing investment options without current taxes.1
  • Want a source of lifetime income that could rise and is protected against market downturns.
  • Have reached 401(k) or IRA contribution limits.
  • Want to leave a tax-efficient legacy.
  • Have an annuity no longer serving their needs.

1Up to 25 transfers each calendar year. If the 25-transfer limit has been reached, we reserve the right to charge a fee for each additional transfer. No additional transfers are permissible into or out of the same investment option until seven calendar days following the initial transfer day with the exception of the money market account. Clients do not pay any current income tax for transfers and any earnings are generally tax deferred. Taxes are incurred when a withdrawal is made or the contract is surrendered, an income payment from the contract is received, or upon payment of a death benefit.

Advisory Fee Withdrawals6

As an advisor, you have the ability to manage and bill on clients’ assets without creating a taxable event or impacting elements of the optional benefits. Advisory fee withdrawals are limited to 1.50% of the account value7 for the calendar year if an optional living benefit is elected. Advisory fees on a nonqualified contract that exceed 1.50% are reportable and could be taxable.

 

Systematic Withdrawals
Clients can stay invested in the markets and set up a withdrawal schedule of their choosing.

 

Preauthorized Withdrawals
Minimum of $250 per withdrawal. If deposited electronically into a checking or savings account, minimum withdrawal is $100.

 

Protected Lifetime Income

Pacific Odyssey Advantage has both built-in and optional features designed to make sure your client's money lasts a lifetime. Clients can choose to annuitize all or a portion of their contract value to create income for their life, two lives, or for a specified period.

Clients can also elect an optional lifetime income benefit, available for an additional cost, that can help address financial risks in retirement and provide protected income for life. 

6Advisory fee withdrawals are limited to 1.50% of the annuity contract’s cash value for the calendar year if a living benefit is elected. If a living benefit is not elected, withdrawals for advisory fees that exceed an annual rate of 1.50% of the cash value during the calendar year may reduce the death benefit amount provided by the optional death benefit by more than the actual excess withdrawal amount. Withdrawals from the contract to pay advisory fees will reduce the contract value.

7The account value is the annuity contract value.

 

If death occurs before annuity income payments begin, the death benefit options below are payable upon the death of the first owner (in all states except CA). For contracts in CA or owned by a non-natural owner (for example, a trust), the death benefit is payable upon the death of the first annuitant.

 

Standard Death Benefit

This death benefit is included with the contract and is equal to the contract value.

 

Optional Death Benefit

An optional Return of Purchase Payments death benefit is available for an additional cost of 0.20%. It offers the greater of the contract value or the total of all purchase payments adjusted proportionately for withdrawals (not including advisory fee withdrawals of up to 1.50%.) The maximum issue age for this optional death benefit is 85.

 

Nonqualified: $25,000 initial; $250 subsequent

Qualified: $25,000 initial; $50 subsequent

For aggregate purchase payments totaling more than $2 million for ages 0–85, or more than $1 million for ages 86+, contact Pacific Life for approval.

Optional living and death benefits are available for an additional cost.

Pacific Life, its affiliates, distributors, and respective representatives do not provide tax, accounting or legal advice. Any taxpayer should seek advice based on the taxpayer’s particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor or attorney.

Pacific Life is a product provider. It is not a fiduciary and therefore does not give advice or make recommendations regarding insurance and investment products.

Investors should carefully consider a variable annuity’s risks, charges, limitations, and expenses, as well as the risks, charges, expenses, and investment goals of the underlying investment options. This and other information about Pacific Life are provided in the product and underlying fund prospectuses, including summary prospectuses, if available. These prospectuses should be read carefully before investing and they are available by visiting Pacificlife.com/Prospectuses.

Annuities are long-term contracts designed for retirement. 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 income tax may apply. Withdrawals will reduce the contract value and the value of the death benefit and also may reduce the value of any optional benefits.

The value of the variable investment options will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

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.

Riders will likely incur additional charges and are subject to availability, restrictions and limitations. Clients should be shown policy illustrations with and without riders to help show the rider’s impact on the policy’s values.

Pacific Life reserves the right to change or modify any non-guaranteed or current elements. The right to modify these elements is not limited to a specific time or reason.

There are circumstances in which replacing your client’s existing life insurance or annuity can benefit your client. As a general rule, however, replacement is not in your client’s best interest. You should make a careful comparison of the costs and benefits, including any applicable surrender charges, of your client’s existing policy and the proposed policy to analyze how a replacement may affect your client’s plan of insurance. You should provide this detailed information to your client and discuss whether replacement is in your client’s best interest.
