American International Group, Inc. (AIG) (NYSE: AIG; TYO: 8685 ) is a major American insurance corporation based in New York City.
, Inc. (AIG). With these enhanced offerings, consumers can now choose a single life policy or a survivor policy, creating more options to meet their specific needs and situation.

"When AIG Elite Global IUL was introduced in 2006, it was unmatched in the life insurance industry," said Rod Rishel, vice president and universal life business leader for AIG American General. "The Plus and Survivor versions of this groundbreaking concept will help us maintain our competitive edge in the index universal life marketplace by offering the additional features our customers desire."

Along with the popular global indexing feature, these two new products offer increased allocation options, greater case design flexibility, monthly index options, a no-lapse guarantee of 30 years or to age 90, and strong look-back illustrated rates.

An Elite Product

AIG Elite Global Plus and AIG Elite Global Survivor each provide death benefit protection, as well as the opportunity for cash value accumulation through index interest crediting based in part on the performance of three external global financial indices. Index interest is credited automatically and the two best-performing indices are overweighted. The value of each index is compared with the value at the beginning of that period. Index interest, if any, is calculated using 75 percent of the return of the best performing index after adjustment for the participation rate, plus 25 percent of the return of the second-best performing index after adjustment for participation rate. The third-best performing index over the period is not used in calculating the amount of index interest to be credited.

Increased Flexibility and Choice

New enhancements allow for policy owners to choose one of three allocation options, including a five-year index account, one-year index account or a declared interest account (five-year option not available on the USL products.) Policy owners can choose monthly index accounts to allow for premium payment flexibility. In addition, policy owners have the choice of purchasing a single life policy or a survivor policy which will create options for optimal funding strategies.

More Guarantees

AIG Elite Global Plus and AIG Elite Global Survivor also have additional guarantees for the policy owner. Regardless of the performance of the three indices, the policy's cash surrender value The amount of money that an insurance company pays the insured upon cancellation of a life insurance policy before death and which is a specific figure assigned to the policy at that particular time, reduced by a charge for administrative expenses.  will never be less than premium accumulated at 3 percent interest over the life of the policy (after loans, charges and withdrawals are deducted from premiums paid). A death benefit guarantee is automatically included at no additional charge; coverage is guaranteed not to lapse for 30 years or to age 90, if earlier. The company also offers a one-year monthly guarantee premium that allows the policy to be put in force while arranging premium financing Premium Financing involves the lending of funds to a person or company to cover the cost of an insurance premium. Premium finance loans are often provided by third party finance entity known as a "Premium Financing Company"; however insurance companies and brokerages occasionally  or a 1035 exchange.
