HOUSTON -- (Business Wire)
Corebridge Financial today announced enhancements to its Max Accumulator+ III index universal life insurance product, including new index strategies, as well as changes designed to improve cash value outcomes. These updates are intended to give customers more diversification in how they allocate and build policy value over time and strengthen long-term growth potential.
Corebridge Financial research highlights the financial concerns many Americans report, including healthcare and long-term care costs as well as the possibility of running out of money in retirement.1 Survey respondents said they would find life insurance living benefits valuable, including financial support during a critical illness (86%), help covering long-term care costs (84%) and a retirement income stream (79%)—closely aligning with their concerns.
Against this backdrop, Corebridge has added two new index interest crediting strategies to Max Accumulator+ III—Nasdaq-100® providing exposure to technology and growth-oriented companies, and S&P 500® High Bonus offering a bonus feature designed to support accumulation in varying market conditions.2 Max Accumulator+ III now offers five index crediting strategies to achieve greater diversification across market exposures and meet a wider range of customer needs, while maintaining the product’s built-in protections from market loss.3
The latest enhancements to Max Accumulator+ III also support growth potential, helping customers achieve future financial goals with increased cash value over time. Compared to prior product versions, these changes incorporate structural improvements intended to strengthen long-term accumulation.
“Customers are looking for solutions that provide protection today while helping them build more financial flexibility for the future,” said Eric Tarnow, Head of Life Insurance, Corebridge Financial. “With expanded index strategy options and improved cash value potential, Max Accumulator+ III gives customers more choice in how they build policy value over time and helps support the product’s long-term, tax-deferred growth.”
Max Accumulator+ III already features several optional living benefits, including a rider designed to turn a policy’s cash value into a guaranteed lifetime income stream, as well as another that can help cover qualifying chronic illness and care expenses. Some policies may be eligible for Agile Underwriting+, the Corebridge accelerated underwriting process enabling faster decisions without a medical exam, lab work or an attending physician statement.

An Accelerated Death Benefit Rider (ABR) is not a replacement for Long Term Care Insurance (LTCI). It is a life insurance benefit that gives you the option to accelerate some of the death benefit in the event the insured meets the criteria for a qualifying event described in the policy. Some ABRs are conditioned upon the insured not being able to perform two or more of the activities of daily living or being cognitively impaired. The activities of daily living are bathing, continence, dressing, eating, toileting, and transferring. This ABR pays proceeds that are intended to qualify for favorable tax treatment under section 101(g) of the Internal Revenue Code. The federal, state, or local tax consequences resulting from payment of an ABR will depend on the specific facts and circumstances, and consequently advice and guidance should be obtained from a personal tax advisor prior to the receipt of any payments. ABR payments may affect eligibility for, or amounts of, Medicaid or other benefits provided by federal, state, or local government. Death benefits and policy values, such as cash values, premium payments, and cost of insurance charges if applicable, will be reduced if an ABR payment is made. ABR payments may be limited by the contract or by outstanding policy loans.
