Financial professionals and clients can now allocate funds to 6 high watermark strategies across 3-surrender periods with Aspida’s WealthLock Accumulator fixed index annuity.
BOZEMAN, Mont., Dec. 16, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Aspida Life Insurance Company (“Aspida”), a life insurance and annuity company, and WealthVest, a leading financial services distribution firm, announced the addition of new 2- and 5-year high watermark participation rate crediting strategies and a 5-year surrender period to their WealthLockSM Accumulator fixed index annuity.
With these additions, Aspida aims to provide advisors and clients with greater flexibility and security in today’s volatile equity and fixed-income market through more quarterly accumulation potential. The WealthLockSM Accumulator will now offer 6 high watermark strategies across 5-, 7- and 10-year surrender periods, for a total of 12 crediting strategies.
“The addition of this 5-year duration will provide financial professionals with even more options for their clients,” said Chad Burns, Chief Distribution Officer of Aspida. “With our market-leading technology platform, we anticipate our users will continue to enjoy a speedy approval process at a fraction of the industry’s standard turn-around time.”
QuarterLockSM, a unique feature of the 2- and 5-year high watermark participation rate crediting strategy, automatically locks in the highest quarterly index during the crediting term, to protect from unexpected indexes decreases. At the end of the crediting term, the FIA’s interest is based on the highest quarterly value, even if the tracked index finishes the period at a lower value.
Consumers can also strategically position their premium between industry-leading participation rate, cap rate and fixed rate strategies. Aspida has partnered with four leading equity index partners – Invesco, Franklin Templeton, Janus Henderson and the S&P 500® – to provide competitive returns based on index performance. Each index earns returns based on different factors, observations and stock characteristics.
Distributed exclusively by WealthVest’s nationwide wholesaling team, the FIA is available at select broker dealers and financial institutions in 49 states. With Aspida’s recent adoption of the Firelight platform, WealthVest is expanding distribution to additional broker dealers, banks and credit unions.
“Whether it’s new product enhancements or upgrades to their technology, Aspida has been an innovator since day one,” said Matt Hamann, National Sales Manager at WealthVest. “We’re looking forward to supporting even more financial professionals with the great value and flexibility of Aspida’s new, innovative high-watermark solutions, 5-year product and lightning-fast approvals.”
Aspida’s recently upgraded client-centered platform allows advisors to quickly take advantage of the rates, strategies and surrender periods on the WealthLockSM Accumulator. Their cutting-edge eApplication system currently issues 92% of EFT applications within 24 hours and 37% in less than 10 minutes.
