Disclosed herein are a computer system, computer-implemented methods, and related technologies that may be used for administering a customizable annuity product. The customizable annuity product has a number of investment sleeves, each of which is tied to an index such as a mutual fund or a stock index. For each investment sleeve, the annuity purchaser can choose the index to which the account is tied, though funds from the annuity product are not actually invested in the indices. During the accumulation phase of a customizable annuity product, the account value for the product may increase (or, potentially, decrease) in proportion with the performance of the indices to which the investment sleeves are tied. The disclosed computer system, computer-implemented methods, and related technologies may be used by an insurance company or other financial institution to administer the customizable annuity product and communicate with the purchasers of customizable annuity product.

Computer system for generating and managing data flows associated with intereactive displays

A system for administering a variable annuity account includes a processor and a memory in communication with the processor. The processor is adapted to: access from a memory storage device data indicative of actual performance over a time period of a fund within the variable annuity account; access from a memory storage device data indicative of benchmark performance of the fund; compare the actual performance data to the benchmark performance data, and store the result of the comparison in the memory; based on the results of the step of comparing, determine whether to refund to the account an amount; if the amount is to be refunded, access data indicative of the refund amount; access data indicative of the asset value of the account; determine an updated asset value based on the asset value and the amount to be refunded; store the determined updated asset value in a memory storage location; and provide an output signal including data indicative of the change in the asset value of the account.

Systems and methods are disclosed herein for scoring and ranking financial advisors based on their sales histories. The system includes a database and an advisor rating system processor in communication with the database. The database stores sales history data related to a plurality of financial advisors. The advisor rating system processor obtains data related to financial advisors from the database and calculates a score for each financial advisor based on their sales revenue and sales frequency. The advisor rating system processor then compares the advisors based on these scores and generates a report indicating to which financial advisors a company should market financial products.

A computer implemented data processing system and method processes data associated with a deferred variable annuity contract during the accumulation phase for a relevant life. The data includes a payment base value, a contract value, a withdrawal percent and a formula for determining an available benefit payment amount without reduction of the payment base value. The formula includes as factors the payment base value, the withdrawal percent, and an adjustment factor dependent on a period of deferral from a time a benefit payment withdrawal was first available until a first benefit payment withdrawal request and a period of time since the first benefit payment withdrawal request.

Method and system for a deferred variable annuity with benefit payments as a function of an adjustment factor

A method for determining one or more features of an annuity includes receiving data indicative of a prospective annuitant's personal expenses in at least a first expense category and a second expense category; storing the data in memory; accessing price index information for the first expense category; accessing price index information for the second expense category; accessing general price index information; and based on factors including the price index information for the first expense category, the price index information for the second expense category, and the general price index information, determining a benefit increase rate of an annuity for the prospective annuitant; and providing an output indicative of at least the determined benefit increase rate.

System and method for use in connection with an annuity

A system for data processing for an account of a financial product has a processor and a memory. The processor receives an account value and a charge applicable to the account based on a fraction of the value of the account; on a basis of a second period, shorter than a first period. Throughout the first period, the processor calculates a fractional charge based on the value of the account, and updates the account value by decrementing the account value in the amount of the fractional charge. At the end of the first period, the processor compares a charge for the first period based on the account value on one day during the first period to a sum of the fractional charges for the first period, and increases the account value by the difference if the first period charge is less than the sum of the fractional charges.

System and method for processing data related to charges applicable to investment accounts

A system for administering an insurance account includes a processor; a memory in communication with the processor; the processor being adapted to: access data indicative of a value of an index calculated based on a formula including as factors prices of individual equity securities; access data indicative of dividend yield; access data indicative of an asset value of an insurance account having a value based on the index; determine an updated asset value of the insurance account based on change in the index and on the dividend amount paid; store the determined updated asset value in the memory; and provide an output signal indicative of the determined updated asset value.

System and method for processing data relating to annuities

A system for administration of an insurance annuity account has a processor and a memory. The processor receives a net asset value of the account at a commencement of a first period and a charge applicable to the account based on a fraction of the net asset value of the account; on a basis of a second period, shorter than the first period, throughout the first period: the processor calculates a fractional charge based on the net asset value of the account, and updates the net asset value by decrementing the net asset value in the amount of the fractional charge. At the end of the first period, the processor compares a charge for the first period based on the net asset value of the account on one day during the first period to a sum of the fractional charges for the first period, and increases the net asset value by the difference if the first period charge is less than the sum of the fractional charges.

System and method for administration of costs related to annuities

A computer-implemented method for administering an annuity product includes storing by a processor in memory an amount of an initial funding payment, an interest rate formula and a term for an accumulation annuity, and storing terms including a deferral term for a guaranteed income annuity. If the processor determines that the current time is during the term, the processor calculates an amount of interest earned on the fixed rate annuity and storing in memory a credit of the calculated interest amount to a guaranteed income annuity. After the accumulation period, the processor provides an output signal indicative of instructions to provide a notice of expiration. After the deferral period, the processor calculates an income annuity payment amount from the guaranteed income annuity; and provides an output signal indicative of instructions for a payment to be made to an annuitant based on the income annuity payment amount.

System and method for administering fixed index annuities

A computer implemented data processing system and method administers a deferred variable annuity contract during the accumulation phase for a relevant life. The annuity contract has a payment base value, a contract value, and a lifetime benefit payment amount available for withdrawal without reduction in the payment base. The lifetime benefit payment amount is based in part on a withdrawal percent and in part on an adjustment factor based on a number of years deferred before taking a first lifetime benefit payment.
