Lincoln Financial Group introduces the new Lincoln ProtectedPaySM lifetime income suite, offering concerned investors income for life, protection from market loss, guaranteed growth for future income and investment

As economic uncertainty has investors feeling lost in the woods, pre-retirees are bracing for the bear market, with 78% worried they will be able to retire on time2. Today, Lincoln Financial Group (NYSE: LNC) announced its latest annuity innovation to help offer financial confidence for consumers as they plan for retirement and other financial needs. Beginning Nov. 28, Lincoln ProtectedPaySM lifetime income suite, available for an additional cost with Lincoln annuities, features six protected lifetime income options which offer predictable growth and investment flexibility.

Available exclusively with Lincoln Financial's variable annuities through broker-dealer and registered investment advisor channels, Lincoln ProtectedPay is a simplified approach to help provide protected income in retirement that can never be outlived – no matter how the market performs.

Variable annuities are long-term investment products that offer a lifetime income stream, access to leading investment managers, options for guaranteed growth and income (available for an additional charge) and death benefit protection.

Recent research also shows that only 31% of respondents (and 21% of Baby Boomers) feel very confident that their savings will last through retirement.3 Through Lincoln ProtectedPay, retirees receive reliable, protected payments throughout their lives.

“In the face of 2022’s bear market, investors may feel uneasy about how portfolio losses are impacting their retirement dreams,” said Tim Seifert, senior vice president and head of the Retirement Solutions Distribution business, Lincoln Financial Distributors. “Yet, through protection products like the new Lincoln ProtectedPay suite, investors can help protect the retirement they envision.”

The Lincoln ProtectedPay lifetime income suite offers customizable options to investors that best suit their needs. Product features include:

  • Guaranteed growth of 6% for future income. If account performance is higher, the higher amount is locked in.4
  • Investment choice and flexibility by building a portfolio that fits individual goals and preferences.
  • Protected payments in retirement.

“Lincoln Financial is committed to manufacturing and distributing annuities and other financial protection products to help Americans retire with confidence,” Stephen Turer, senior vice president and head of Lincoln Financial’s Annuity Solutions business said. “Our latest innovation, Lincoln ProtectedPay, is a continuation of that proud legacy, and we are pleased to offer pre-retirees the protection and growth that will help them thrive in any market.”

This is just the latest addition to Lincoln Financial’s broad and innovative portfolio of annuity solutions, which features more product choice than any other annuity carrier5.

Lincoln Protected Pay lifetime income suite is not available in all states including New York. GUARANTEES ARE BASED UPON THE CLAIMS PAYING ABILITY OF THE INSURANCE COMPANY.
