Upside Potential - Downside Protection

While many of your customers are likely aware of the improving market conditions over the past year, a significant number of them may also be harboring bad memories of investment losses during the recent bear market. As a result of this trend, we have seen fixed index annuities (FIAs) emerge as a solution to meet the needs of these customers.

FIAs are designed to provide the stability, guarantees and competitive interest rates of traditional fixed annuities, however, what makes these products so remarkable is that they allow customers to participate in a portion of market gains, without the risk of losing principal due to market losses. The upside potential and downside protection features of FIAs are driving the popularity of these products today, especially in financial institutions.

To help bank representatives, Jackson National has introduced a complete training program, implemented on-site at your bank branch to help representatives understand how FIAs work and effectively communicate the benefits of these products to their customers.

JNL's training includes an FIA Starter Kit, which provides an introduction to FIA products and describes the structure and benefits of the products. We also offer an FIA multimedia presentation that reps can use for their own educational purposes, or to educate their customers. As an added step, representatives who complete JNL's training program receive certification to sell FIA's.

Our commitment to training and support is designed to make your representatives feel comfortable and confident with discussing and selling various types of insurance products. We strive to be thorough in our training so that your representatives can help make the best choices for their customers.

Earnings are taxable as ordinary income when distributed, and if withdrawn before age 59½, may be subject to a 10% federal tax penalty. If you are considering an annuity to fund a qualified plan, such as a 401(k) or an IRA, the taxdeferral feature offers no additional value.
