Pivot resources
A standard death benefit is automatically issued with Pivot contracts, and clients also have the option of choosing between two enhanced death benefit options.
The death benefit can be an important feature for clients who want to help provide financial security to their beneficiary(ies) but are uninsurable through traditional life insurance. Our death benefits require no underwriting.
Our enhanced annual step-up death benefit allows clients to use annual gains in their account value to create a greater guaranteed death benefit.
Trusts are a popular way for clients to help provide a financial legacy for their beneficiaries. Many trusts are set up to distribute earnings every year, which can result in significant tax burdens. A trust-owned annuity, however, offers many of the same benefits as an individual annuity might:
Both grantor trusts and non-grantor trusts can be used to set up trust-owned
annuities. These trusts offer an option called the “pass-in-kind” strategy that allows
the trust to keep earnings invested and growing in the annuity to help create a
financial legacy. The pass-in-kind strategy allows flexibility in investment strategies
and offers tax advantages that can help preserve growth in the trust for several
generations.
Principal® Pivot Series Variable Annuity can be used as a vehicle for this pass-in-kind
strategy and help your clients create generational wealth.
