Lincoln Financial: MoneyGuard Rate Change
Lincoln's MoneyGuard Market Advantage will have a positive rate change effective August 15, 2022. The new rate will result in great Accumulation Value growth potential, as more of the premiums will be applied to the policies subaccounts and/or fixed account investment selections.
Important Features:
- Benefit increases will range between 2% - 9%, if comparing LTC benefits at attained age 85.
- Single pay designs will see the higher impact (9%) with the improvement percentage reducing as flex pay designes strech out (ranging down to 2%)
- A rate adjustment was made to a factor within the premium calculation which will reflect policy size. Thus, policies with a $100,000 specified amount will have the same no-lapse premium as current MoneyGuard Market Advantage, with slightly higher premiums for specified amounts below $100,000 and slightly lower premiums for specified amounts above $100,000. The range of difference is generally within 1-2%.
