Pick the State Farm® Interest Advantage Program

Here's a relatively simple idea. Take the fixed-rate earnings from your Future Income Flex variable annuity1 from State Farm Life Insurance Company (Not licensed in MA, NY or WI) or State Farm Life and Accident Assurance Company (Residents of NY and WI only) and shift them into professionally managed investment accounts that offer the potential for a higher return.

How? With a controlled, systematic approach that gradually shifts these assets into the subaccount of your choice - giving you simple, convenient access to the investment potential of the stock and bond markets.

It's called the Interest Advantage Program, and it makes the complex process of reallocating your assets and managing your investments far easier and more convenient ...because it's automatic.

We Call It the "Interest Advantage" Program for Good Reason

While you may not want to take big risks with your assets, choosing only low-return investments carries the risk that the value of your assets may not keep up with inflation. Without enough savings growth, you could fall short of realizing your future dreams.

The Interest Advantage Program enables you to explore opportunities in the stock and bond markets, without committing a large portion of your retirement savings all at once:

  • The principal in your Fixed Account remains protected from market fluctuations (based on the claims-paying ability of the issuing State Farm life insurance company
  • An amount equal to your Fixed Account earnings is shifted gradually into underlying stock and bond investments each quarter. These periodic investments have the effect of "dollar-cost averaging" — a strategy that helps reduce the risk of making investments only when unit prices are high.
  • You can choose from a variety of underlying subaccounts for your new investments.
  • Professional investment management of subaccounts saves you time and effort.

How Does It Work?

The Interest Advantage Program is based on a simple idea. The interest earnings from your State Farm Future Income Flex variable annuity's Fixed Account are transferred quarterly into the professionally managed investment accounts (known as subaccounts) of your choice. The amount of each quarterly transfer is equal to the interest earned on your Fixed Account balance during the previous quarter. No fixed Account Principal is put at market risk, as only the amount of earned interest is moved into your subaccounts.

Is It Right for You?

The Interest Advantage Program could be suitable for a wide range of individuals:

  • Conservative investors who are cautious about broadening their investment mix
  • Individuals who recognize there is no "perfect" time to make new investments
  • Investors who seek greater diversification for their retirement savings
  • Those who simply wish to explore new avenues for long-term growth potential

How To Get Started

To begin the Interest Advantage Program, you must have the minimum required balance of $2,500 in your Fixed Account. If this balance should fall below $500 by the end of any policy quarter, the transfer will not occur. Please see the prospectus for further details.
