AIG VALIC Introduces New Planning Tool

November 4, 2005 (PLANSPONSOR.com) - AIG VALIC has introduced a program that integrates education, planning tools, personal advice, and income-generating investment products to help clients achieve their desired level of retirement income.

In its announcement, AIG VALIC said its new IncomeEdge (SM) provides a step-by-step process, utilizing the help of a VALIC financial advisor, that guides clients through the steps of evaluating retirement needs; establishing savings goals; investing retirement assets; and creating an effective strategy for generating a sustainable income stream in retirement.

The company said the new tool includes the following:

  • Educational materials, including a “Retirement Income Solutions for Life” seminar that addresses all the financial components of a solid retirement strategy, from Medicare and Social Security benefits, to managing personal financial assets, to creating an estate plan,
  • The ongoing planning assistance of a VALIC personal financial advisor,
  • Planning tools such as Monte Carlo simulations that help illustrate the probability for success of a
    specific financial plan, and
  • Two newly created single-premium, immediate annuities that can be used to generate a stream of income in retirement.

The two annuities are Secure Pension, which provides for a single-premium, immediate fixed annuity that provides a monthly payout for life, and Personal Pension, a single-premium, immediate fixed and variableannuity that offers owners the choice of a fixed or variable payout, or a combination of both.   The annuity includes an optional inflation protection rider for the fixed plan and provisions for withdrawals and transfers for the variable plan.
