Introducing PillarMark and SpireMark: Flexible Retirement Annuities
Legacy Marketing Group, in partnership with Malibu Life, has unveiled two new fixed indexed annuities: PillarMarkSM and SpireMarkSM, designed to offer flexible retirement income strategies.
These innovative products, issued by TruSpire Retirement Insurance Company in Texas, reflect a growing trend in the insurance industry towards customizable retirement solutions. PillarMark focuses on ensuring lifetime income commencing after ten years or by age 85, depending on which comes first. SpireMark offers earlier income start options, addressing diverse retirement planning needs. Legacy President Preston Pitts emphasized the annuities’ potential to enhance lifetime income, manage health care costs, and support legacy planning—a key concern for retirees today.
Flexible Income and Investment Options
Both annuities incorporate a Benefit Base Bonus aimed at increasing income and benefits over time. This feature functions by growing through interest credits, activated income timing, and can potentially result in higher policyholder benefits and income. These products also provide ten diverse allocation options, including the Bloomberg Bitcoin US 100 10% Index and Nasdaq-100 HiCap™ Index, along with other indices. The ability to diversify through preset allocation blueprints allows policyholders to align these financial vehicles with specific investment strategies.
Echoing the need for personalized solutions in retirement planning, Malibu Life's CEO, Todd Shriber, praised the income potential and flexibility offered by PillarMark and SpireMark. Legacy's collaboration with Malibu Life illustrates a strategic push to expand carrier relationships while enhancing options for retirement planning. TruSpire's ratings of “A-” by KBRA and B++ by AM Best further emphasize the products' reliability and security for clients via independent distribution channels.
Strategic Industry Positioning
Legacy Marketing Group stands out for its dedication to marketing exclusive insurance products through a broad network of agents, focusing on consumer-oriented retirement solutions. Similarly, Malibu Life, with TruSpire, is reinforcing its market presence with these effective retirement products. With these developments, both companies are positioning themselves strategically in the growing field of retirement planning, offering stability and adaptive options to meet evolving consumer demands.
