Nationwide YourLife® Indexed UL
FOR INSURANCE PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY — NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION WITH THE PUBLIC
as your clients’ personal situations change (i.e., marriage, birth of a child or job promotion), so will their life insurance needs. Care should be taken to ensure these strategies and products are suitable for their long-term life insurance needs. Clients should weigh their objectives and time horizon as well as any associated costs before making a purchasing decision. Life insurance has fees and charges associated with it that include costs of insurance that vary with such characteristics of the insured as sex, health and age, underlying fund charges and expenses, and additional charges for riders that customize a policy to fit your clients’ individual needs.
indexed universal life insurance policies are not stock market investments, do not directly participate in any stock or equity investments and do not receive dividend or capital gains participation. Past index performance is no indication of future crediting rates. also, be aware that interest crediting fluctuations can lead to the need for additional premium in your clients’ policy.
Preparing for the future can be stressful
for your clients. While many of them may want
growth, they may also be wary of market volatility.
Nationwide YourLife® Indexed UL may help you ease their concerns and get them on a path they can feel comfortable with.
Our indexed universal life (IUL) product was
designed to offer your clients a calm approach to
planning — with the proper balance of potential for
growth and protection from loss. And it’s all backed
by the strength and stability of Nationwide®,
so you can both breathe a little easier.

Indexed universal life insurance (IUL) is a fixed life product offering all the traditional advantages of a universal life product — including permanent death benefit protection, tax advantages and minimum guarantees — with the added benefit of potential cash value accumulation.
It uses an interest crediting strategy that’s based, in large part, on the movement of specific market indexes. Because traditional universal life products have an interest rate set by the carrier, IUL offers clients the opportunity for greater cash value accumulation.
When your clients purchase an IUL product, they are subject to a cap on the interest they can earn. But this is fixed life insurance and not a security, so, money is never actually invested in the market and your clients are protected from loss during market declines.

as with most indexed universal life policies, the cash value is determined by the sum of premiums paid net of any loads, deductions of policy charges, plus interest credited. Policy charges are deducted monthly and include a flat administrative fee, an expense charge based on face value issued, cost of insurance charges and charges for any rider.
Nationwide YourLife Indexed UL was specifically designed using feedback we received from professionals, just like you, and offers your clients an approachable strategy for planning for the future.

How does it work?3
In general, Nationwide YourLife Indexed UL works like other universal life products. The difference is in the indexed interest crediting strategy and how the interest rate your clients will receive is determined. So, let’s look at the details of this feature more closely.
Allocating to the indexed interest strategy
Step 1 An index segment is created when the allocated cash value is moved from fixed interest strategy into the indexed interest strategy on the sweep date — which occurs on the 15th of each month. Cap, floor and participation rates for each segment are locked in place for the duration of the segment. There must be enough money in the fixed interest strategy to cover 12 months’ worth of policy charges. This figure is determined automatically for the client.

Reallocation at segment maturity (according to policyholder instructions)

Step 2
On the 15th of each subsequent month, the value is noted for each of the three indexes. And at the end of the segment period (which is one year), these 12 values are averaged for each index. They are then compared to the initial values on the sweep date to determine the index performance.
Step 3The performance in each index is then ranked — best, second best and third best — and then weighted so the best-performing index counts for 50% of the total average rate, the second best counts for 30% and the third best counts for 20%.
Step 4These three averages are added together to arrive at the total average rate.
Step 5The total average rate is multiplied by the participation rate (140%3 current, 60% guaranteed).
Step 6Then cap or floor rates (currently 12%3 and 0%, respectively) are applied, if needed, to determine the rate that will be credited to the cash value in the indexed interest strategy.

The hypothetical illustrations used above are actual/hypothetical figures for the dates indicated, however they may not represent actual results. Past performance is no guarantee of future performance or of values of indexed life insurance. Cap rates are illustrative in nature, are not guaranteed, are subject to change. Cap rates and participation rates may vary. Different time scenarios will produce varying results which could be less favorable or more favorable depending on the performance of each entity. Indexed universal life policies are not stock market investments and do not directly participate in any stock or equity investments.
For you —Competitive product design
To help you give clients the growth they need, Nationwide YourLife Indexed UL is designed with one of the most competitive current participation rates in the industry for IUL products — 140%4 (60% guaranteed). This means your clients could potentially receive 140% of the actual index return, subject to the cap rate.
Additionally, the cap and floor rates (currently 12%4 and 0%, respectively) offered by the product were designed to help maximize the benefit your clients receive during up markets, while still protecting them from loss during times of market decline.

A streamlined indexed interest crediting strategy allocation process
Nationwide YourLife indexed UL offers a blended average of three indexes — the s&P 500®, the NasdaQ - 100® and the dow Jones industrial averagesM — which are then weighted to help determine the final rate your clients receive:
50%of the best-performing index
30%of the second best
20%of the third best
Weighting the averages helps eliminate the guesswork in selecting the right strategy for your clients, because each segment always benefits more from the better-performing indexes.
Nationwide may discontinue any index that becomes unavailable (i.e., is no longer published) or the calculation of which is substantially changed. Nationwide may substitute with a comparable index or may adjust the method of calculating index segment interest.
indexed universal life policies are not stock market investments and do not directly participate in any stock or equity investments.

Flexible loan options Select declared rate or alternative loans so you can tailor the policy to more effectively meet your clients’ needs and risk tolerance.
Declared rate loan In situations where the Moody’s rate is high, the declared rate loan can offer a more conservative approach to borrowing money from their policy. This is the typical loan in most permanent life policies.
Alternative loan option The interest charged on an alternative loan is based on Moody’s Corporate Bond Yield Average. So in markets where this rate is low and the assumed policy interest credited rate is high, an alternative loan can help reduce the rate your clients are charged — even creating the potential to earn interest on their loan value.
In the first example, the loan is being charged less than the policy is being credited, so it’s more beneficial to the client.
But in the second example, the loan is being charged more than the policy is credited, so the declared rate loan would have been more beneficial for the client.
Just remember that only one type of loan can be carried on a policy at one time.
5 other current loan rates may be subject to change.6 Please note that the alternative loan charge rate cannot exceed 8%.
This graph does not take into consideration policy charges. actual crediting rate will be less than assumed and this chart is hypothetical.
also, any money which is removed from an indexed interest strategy segment during an interest crediting period for any reason (e.g., withdrawal, certain loans, policy surrender, to pay policy charges or expenses, etc.) is not credited with any index-linked interest for such interest crediting period.

For your clients —More stable returns during volatile markets
Nationwide YourLife Indexed UL offers your clients an annual interest crediting strategy using monthly averaging. This means we look at the rates each month and use an average of the 12 to determine the annual rate of change within the index. This crediting method may be especially helpful for clients during volatile markets because it uses more points of measure. (See the chart on Pages 4 and 5 for more detail.)
Flexible death benefit guarantee options
Every Nationwide YourLife Indexed UL policy comes with a death benefit guarantee that lasts up to 20 years (reduced for issue ages 65 and above).
If your clients want a little more protection, they can purchase the Extended Death Benefit Guarantee rider, which allows them to choose:
• A longer guarantee period — from policy year 21 (earlier for issue ages 65 and above) to lifetime coverage; and
• The amount of protection — from 50% to 100% of the base policy specified amount
A way to plan for possible long-term care expenses
Help clients maintain control of their money — and their independence — with our indemnity-style long-term care rider. Rather than requiring clients to submit receipts to receive benefits, we send payments once deemed eligible directly to the policyowner, or if held in trust, the trustee, allowing clients to maintain control of their money and spend it as they wish.
And because beneficiaries receive the death benefit if long-term care is never needed, you eliminate the “use it or lose it” objection to many traditional long-term care policies.
Just remember that the long-term care benefit is an acceleration of the death benefit and reduces the death benefit and cash surrender value dollar for dollar. Care should be taken to make sure each client’s life insurance needs will continue to be met, even if the rider pays out in full. There is no guarantee the rider will cover the entire cost for all of the insured’s long-term care since these costs vary with the needs of each insured.
Riders may not be available in every state, may be known by different names in different states and may be available for an additional charge.5 other current loan rates may be subject to change.
6 Please note that the alternative loan charge rate cannot exceed 8%.
This graph does not take into consideration policy charges. actual crediting rate will be less than assumed and this chart is hypothetical.
also, any money which is removed from an indexed interest strategy segment during an interest crediting period for any reason (e.g., withdrawal, certain loans, policy surrender, to pay policy charges or expenses, etc.) is not credited with any index-linked interest for such interest crediting period.

Loans11 • There are two types of loans available on this product: declared rate loans and alternative loans
• Only one type of loan can be carried on the policy at one time — either all declared rate or all alternative loans
• If clients have a declared rate loan and want to take out an alternative loan, they must first pay back the declared rate loan, and vice-versa
• Only once during any 12-month period can clients pay off one type of loan and take out a different loan type
• Minimum amount of any loan is $200
• Maximum amount of any loan is the net surrender value of the policy less the sum of the next three monthly charges
declared rate loans credited rate:Current: 3%Guaranteed: 2%
declared rate loan charged rate:Current: 3.9% (years 1 – 10); 3% (years 11+)Guaranteed: 3.9% (years 1 – 10); 3.25% (years 11+)
alternative loan credited rate:There is no alternative loan interest credited. Instead, the policy’s accumulated value remains allocated to the Fixed Interest Strategy and/or Indexed Interest Strategy and continues to receive interest credited to those investment options according to their interest crediting formulas.
alternative loan charged rate:Will not exceed the lesser of:
1. The maximum alternative policy loan interest charged rate: 8%2. The greater of:
a. Moody’s Corporate Bond Yield Average — Monthly average as published by Moody’s Investor Service, or its successor, for the calendar month ending two months prior to the date the rate is determined, or:
b. the Fixed Interest Strategy’s guaranteed minimum accumulated value minimum interest rate, plus 1% annually
Unpaid loans will reduce the cash surrender value and any death benefit proceeds payable, and if the policy lapses with a loan outstanding, it will be treated as a distribution and may be subject to income tax.
11 All references to loans assume that the contract remains in force and qualifies as life insurance under Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code and is not a modified endowment contract (MEC) under Section 7702(A). Loans from a MEC will generally be taxable and, if taken prior to age 59½, may be subject to a 10% tax penalty.

Cap rate: The percentage that will be used in limiting, or capping, the strategy’s interest credit rate. While the current cap rate can be adjusted up or down, it will never be below a minimum amount, known as the guaranteed cap rate.
Floor rate: The minimum rate of interest that will be credited if the segment’s performance is less than that minimum rate. While the floor can be adjusted up or down, it will never be below a minimum amount, known as the guaranteed floor.
Index: The underlying index a client can choose within the product, e.g., the S&P 500®.
Index performance: Percentage of change in the value of the index over the segment period of the specific indexed interest strategy selected.
Index segment period: Lasts one year and is created when the allocated cash value is moved from the fixed interest strategy into the indexed interest strategy on the sweep date.
Indexed interest segment: The period of time between the sweep date on which the segment was created and the one-year
anniversary of that date. The interest credited to each segment may vary.
Indexed interest strategy:The method used to determine the annual change of the designated index between two points in time. This value will be used to help calculate the interest credit rate.
Participation rate: The percentage of the index performance used to help calculate the strategy’s interest crediting rate. For example, if the participation rate is 100%, then 100% of the actual performance within the index will be used. While the current participation rate can be adjusted, it will never be below a minimum, known as the guaranteed participation rate.
Surrender charge schedule: The number of years the policy will have a level or decreasing surrender charge.
Sweep frequency: How often money will be moved from the fixed interest strategy into the indexed interest strategy. Each time money is swept, it creates a new index segment.
