Inspired by the groundbreaking success of Prudential’s signature FlexGuard Indexed Variable Annuity products, which have reached over $10 billion in total sales, FlexGuard Life is a next-generation solution designed to help meet today’s evolving consumer needs.

“As our customers’ needs continue to evolve, we’re working to provide them with new ways to achieve financial security, including offerings that help to diversify their cash values and realize more benefits from their policies,” says Salene Hitchcock-Gear, president of Individual Life Insurance at Prudential. “FlexGuard Life performs exactly in that way, prioritizing protection, growth and access.”

FlexGuard Life offers buffered index strategies with potential for strong cash value accumulation, while also providing levels of downside protection during periods of market volatility. It includes death benefit protection with guaranteed duration options, multiple ways to grow cash values and the ability to accelerate death benefits in the event of a chronic or terminal illness if an additional rider has been added.

The solution is customizable and can be adjusted based on changing needs, giving consumers the opportunity to take control over their future. It affords them access to cash values when needed, providing the unique opportunity to leave a legacy while also expanding access to living benefits.

Levels of downside protection are available on index-crediting strategies only. Variable investment options are available but do not offer protection levels.

Access to policy cash values is through loans and withdrawals. Unpaid loans and withdrawals reduce cash values and death benefits; may reduce the duration of the guarantee against lapse, which may lapse the policy; and may have tax consequences.

Receiving benefits under the terms of an accelerated death benefit rider for chronic or terminal illness will reduce and may eliminate the death benefit.

Index-linked variable universal life products are complex insurance and investment vehicles and are long-term investments designed to provide death benefit protection with cash value accumulation potential. There is risk of loss of principal if negative index returns exceed the selected protection level. Gains or losses are assessed at the end of each index. Early withdrawals may result in a loss in addition to applicable surrender charges. Unpaid loans and withdrawals reduce cash values and death benefits; and may have tax consequences.
