NU Online News Service, Feb. 1, 1:57 p.m. – Lincoln Financial Corp., Fort Wayne, Ind., is making an open effort to take variable-annuity assets away from competitors.
The company is offering a new ABE death-benefit option solely to customers who shift cash into Lincoln ChoicePlus II and Multi-Fund 5 VA contracts, away from VA contracts at other companies.
For new, eligible customers, Lincoln will match the guaranteed minimum death benefits promised by the old VA contracts.
