Reliance Standard - Minimum Guaranteed Rates for Q3 2012

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 2012 3rd Quarter Minimum Guaranteed Interest Rates

 

 

Apollo & Eleos Products

The minimum guaranteed interest rate for all new Apollo and Eleos contracts will remain at 1.00% for the 3rd Quarter of 2012. The minimum guaranteed interest rate at the time of issue will remain in effect for the life of the policy.

Keystone-5, -7, and -10 Products

For 3rd Quarter 2012 issues, the Guaranteed Minimum Annuity Value for the Keystone-5, Keystone-7, and Keystone-10 contracts will remain at 100% of premium accumulated at 1.00%.  The Minimum Contract Value will remain at 87.5% of premium accumulated at a Non-forfeiture rate of 1.00%.

We will continue to declare the Minimum Guaranteed Interest Rate on a quarterly basis for products filed under the indexed standard non-forfeiture law (Apollo, Eleos, and Keystone products). Increases or decreases in the rates will be dependent upon market conditions, and will be no lower than the 6-month average of the 5 year Treasury Yield minus a spread of 1.25% for fixed rate products or 2.25% for index products (or 1% if greater, and no higher than 3%.)

While minimum guaranteed rates are remaining the same for the upcoming quarter, please keep in mind for future changes that the 45-day rate lock is extended only to interest rates, and does NOT apply to minimum guaranteed rates.

Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Annuity Sales Desk.

New Annuity Rates
Effective June 11th , 2012 *

Dear Valued Oxford Life Producer,

Last month, we communicated details on why we made "mid-month" rate changes to our annuity products. As a follow up, we'd like to further explain those changes, some additional adjustments coming in June and July and more specifically, why they are relevant for the current rate environment.

If you recall, in our last letter we made you aware that interest rates were at lows not seen since the 1940s. Who could have imagined that in the short period of time since that statement, rates would decline to levels NEVER BEFORE SEEN! As of the date of this letter, the 10-year United States Treasury Note is trading at 1.45%. To give you an idea of how drastic this rate decline has been, the 10-year Note closed March 30th at 2.23%.

Because of this record low interest rate environment, Oxford Life will be making changes to our annuity products effective as outlined below. These actions are being taken to help Oxford Life maintain our financial strength and to keep our promises to our current and future policy holders. We appreciate your continued support of Oxford Life and want to assure you that we remain committed to providing quality, competitive products for your clients.

EFFECTIVE 6/11/12

Oxford Life Income Protector
Low Band $10,000 - $24,999 From 2.00% to 1.25%
High Band $25,000 - $350,000 From 2.40% to 1.75%

Oxford Life Bonus Ten
Fixed Rate Strategy From 1.25% to 1.00%
Monthly Average Annual Reset Cap From 2.75% to 2.00%
Annual Point to Point Annual Reset Cap From 2.75% to 2.00%

To take advantage of our rate hold policy, applications or faxed copies of applications/checks/transfer forms must be received in our home office by 6/10/12.

EFFECTIVE 7/1/12

The payout factors for the Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit (GLWB) rider on the Bonus Ten and the Income Protector have been changed to the rates shown below.

We truly appreciate your hard work, dedication and continued partnership. While decisions like these are never easy, they are necessary for us to remain competitive in this historic low interest rate environment. Thank you again for your support.

Sincerely,

Mark Haydukovich
President and CEO
