Serenity Wealth Management Adapts to AG-49B Standards: A New Era for Indexed Universal Life Insurance

Adjustments in AG-49B aim to align projections more closely with historical performances, focusing on consumer protection and informed financial planning.

LONG BEACH, CA, UNITED STATES, June 29, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Serenity Wealth Management is poised to help clients navigate the recent implementation of AG-49B, a significant regulation affecting Indexed Universal Life (IUL) insurance sales illustrations as of May 1, 2023. This update reflects the firm’s ongoing commitment to transparency and financial excellence.

Curtis Hill, a founder of Serenity Wealth Management, highlights the impact AG-49B has on IUL projections, underscoring the regulatory shift towards conservatism. Adjustments in AG-49B aim to align projections more closely with historical performances, focusing on consumer protection and informed financial planning.

"AG-49B demands IUL illustrations to be markedly conservative," explains Hill. "The new standards redefine projections, making them less of a performance forecast and more of a baseline for comparison with IRAs and other financial products."

Key changes introduced by AG-49B include limitations on maximum illustrated rates, bonuses, and participating loan spread assumptions. Despite appearing modest in projections, these IUL policies maintain their benefits: providing tax-free retirement income, safeguarding legacies, and minimizing market risks.

Financial advisors pivot strategy conversations towards these benefits rather than focusing solely on illustrated projections. "IUL policies offer unmatched benefits, including tax advantages and protection against market volatility, which remain invaluable despite stringent illustration parameters," Hill emphasizes.

Serenity Wealth Management remains dedicated to equipping clients with the necessary tools and information for strategic financial planning, ensuring that policies and investments remain robust.
