If you are considering a fixed index interest universal life insurance policy that provides needed death benefit protection and the flexibility of a fixed interest or fixed index interest crediting mechanism, then an Elite Global PlusSM or Elite Global SurvivorSM universal life insurance policy may be the right choice for you.

Issued by American General Life Insurance Company (AGL) and The United States Life Insurance Company in the City of New York (USL), either policy provides guaranteed death benefit protection and an opportunity to realize growth in cash value accumulation based in part on the performance of three global indices—the S&P 500®1, the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index2 (Western Europe), and the Hang Seng Index3 (Hong Kong). Instead of using a single index as the basis for its interest crediting formula, Elite Global Plus and Elite Global Survivor use these three indices and weight the two best-performing when calculating index interest to be credited.

For additional security, you also have the option to allocate all or a portion of each premium to a declared interest account, which will be credited with an interest rate to be established by AGL and USL. This rate may be subject to change periodically, but will never be less than 3.00 percent.

Policy Highlights
  • Solid death benefit protection
  • Three death benefit options (level, increasing and return of premium)
  • Guaranteed death benefit coverage, through the Monthly Guarantee Premium features, for the earlier of 30 years or age 90 provided at no charge as long as required premiums are paid
  • Lifetime Death Benefit Guarantee Rider available with Elite Global Plus
  • Tracking multiple global indices in index interest accounts provides diversification:
    • S&P 500
    • Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50
    • Hang Seng Index
  • Index interest based on the best performing two out of three indices where an overweighting formula may produce higher crediting rates than either an equal weighting or a single index approach
  • Index interest credited based on either five-year period point-to-point (available with AGL versions only) or one-year monthly average formula
  • Flexible allocation choices—declared interest and/or index interest options
  • The Alternate Value Provisions contained in the policy provide a minimum lifetime guaranteed interest rate of 3.00 percent, regardless of the performance of the external indices. This Alternate Value interest rate is applied to the policy values remaining after policy charges, loans, and withdrawals are deducted from premiums paid.
  • Overloan Protection Rider ensures the policy won’t lapse because of large outstanding loan balance
  • Choice of single life or last survivor policy creates options for optimal funding strategies
  • Ability to allocate premiums and policy values to multiple interest crediting options allows efficient repositioning of existing assets
  • Policy’s high early cash values allow for business applications or use for collateral purposes
  • Issue Ages - Elite Global Plus: 18-80; Elite Global Survivor: 18-80
  • Minimum Death Benefit - $100,000
