ING Announces New Indexed Universal Life Product

ING Life Companies introduced a new indexed universal life insurance product, entitled ING Indexed Universal Life-CV (ING IUL-CV). ING IUL-CV offers traditional universal life benefits with the opportunity to earn an index credit linked, in part, to any increases in the S&P 500®(1) (subject to a maximum index credit rate cap) with protection from downside risk through a minimum interest guarantee.

"The new ING IUL-CV is a product that can work well for a range of client needs - from executive benefit and business-continuation planning for businesses to retirement and wealth-management planning for individuals," said Daniel Mulheran, president of ING Life Distribution. "Because of the indexed feature, there is a potential for stronger long-term surrender values when you compare it to many traditional UL products. This upside potential can be an attractive option for many insurance buyers."

  ING IUL-CV features include:
  --  Potential for stronger long-term surrender values
  --  Fixed and indexed crediting strategies
  --  Unlimited rolling targets and heaped commissions
  --  Guaranteed-issue underwriting available for corporate sales
  --  Waiver of surrender charge rider available for traditional premium
      finance cases
  --  Preferred loans currently available beginning in the 11th policy year
  --  A full range of key riders, including accelerated benefit rider,
      adjustable term insurance rider, overloan lapse protection rider,
      additional insured rider, waiver of specified premium rider and more.
