Lincoln National Corporation (LNC) declared the launch of its new OptiBlendSM Fixed Indexed Annity, a flexible premium deferred fixed indexed annuity (FIA) that blends the safety of principal protection with upside market potential.
Lincoln’s new solution offers four interest crediting strategies providing clients with a combination of growth potential and capital preservation. These choices for accumulation potential comprise: a fixed account, for those who want predictable fixed account growth – without being tied to market performance; 1-year Point-to-Point Cap and Performance triggered indexed accounts tied to the performance of the S&P 500 Index and a brand new indexed account tied to a risk controlled version of the S&P 500 Index.
Lincoln’s OptiBlend features a new Volatility-Controlled Point-to-Point Indexed Account, where the interest credit is based on the performance of the S&P 500 Daily Risk Control 5% Index, giving investors exposure to the S&P 500 Index at a set risk level. A spread will be applied to the return of the S&P 500 Daily Risk Control 5% Index to determine the interest credit a client will receive. The spread acts as a hurdle rate with all index performance over the spread credited to the client’s account. Since volatility is managed within this Index, a lower spread can be offered than one based on the S&P 500 without risk control.
