  • Ibexis Life & Annuity Insurance Company Launches FIA Product Enhancements

    April 8, 2024 by Ibexis Life & Annuity Insurance Company

    JEFFERSON CITY, Mo.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Ibexis Life & Annuity Insurance Company® (“Ibexis”) today announced multiple enhancements to its FIA Plus™ fixed indexed annuity series offered in the independent marketing organization (“IMO”) sales channel.

    The FIA Plus™ is an accumulation focused fixed indexed annuity, which now includes a Bonus Rider, Bailout feature and annual declared rate option (“ADR”). The FIA Plus™ continues to offer crediting strategies linked to two unique proprietary indexes from Bank of America, HSBC, and the S&P 500®. In addition, it offers embedded optionality with floor options that provide higher accumulation potential.

    “We are always listening and watching the market to ensure our products contain the features that clients desire. We are proud to offer these enhancements to give clients additional ways to save for retirement,” said Nate Gemmiti, CEO & President of Ibexis.

    Ryan Lex, Chief Distribution Officer at Ibexis, added: “Many clients want the ability to choose a Premium Bonus to have their initial premium multiplied by a declared percent. In addition, all policies will be issued with the protection of a bailout rate, which permits a client to surrender the policy without penalty if the S&P 500® cap rate falls below the declared bailout rate. Finally, the ADR provides another option for clients to earn a fixed rate of return with full flexibility to move in or out annually.”

    The FIA Plus™ is offered through the following Independent Marketing Organizations: AMS Financial Solutions, Ash Brokerage, Creative One, DMI, ECA Marketing, Financial Independence Group (FIG), Gradient, Insurance Agency Marketing Services (IAMS), Magellan Financial, M&O Marketing, Simplicity Group, Triad Partners and TruChoice.

    With insurance licenses in 45 states and the District of Columbia, Ibexis has been assigned a Financial Strength Rating of A- (Excellent) and a Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of “A-” (Excellent) by AM Best. Both ratings have a “stable” outlook.
