Chapter 10: Variable Products
Chapter 10 covers variable annuities and variable life insurance. Variable annuities are securities — registered with the SEC, sold with a prospectus. During the accumulation phase, investors own accumulation units; at annuitization, those convert to annuity units. The investor bears investment risk in the separate account. Variable life insurance ties both the death benefit and cash value to separate account performance. A 1035 exchange allows tax-free transfer between annuity contracts.
