Variable Annuity & Variable Life Insurance Plans

A variable annuity offers a range of investment options. The value of your investment as a variable annuity owner will vary depending on the performance of the investment options you choose. The investment options for a variable annuity are typically mutual funds that invest in stocks, bonds, money market instruments, or some combination of the three.

Similarly, Variable Life insurance products such as Variable Universal Life (VULs) offer a range of investment options. Investors manage their accounts by investing in these available funds.

A variable annuity or variable life (VUL) plan usually consists of a dozen investment funds or portfolios. The available investment funds of a plan are obtained based on public filing information and thousands of users' input. If you can not find your plans or you think they need to be updated/corrected, please email us your plans investment options (a list of investment funds. They could be mutual funds (thus preferably their symbols), trusts and Separately Managed Accounts (SMAs)). You can find this information from your plan prospectus or through your online accounts. Other important information includes the redemption period for each fund. By default, we assume that funds (other than money market funds and ETFs) have a minimum three month (90 days) holding period to avoid redemption charge.
