We will continue to innovate and develop products to help secure the financial futures of our customers.”

Midland National Capital Income® is an advisory fee-friendly solution that can provide clients with strong lifetime income payout rates. The solution also offers a unique health-activated income multiplier feature² which can double income payments for up to five years to help prepare for increased personal care costs. Capital Income offers this feature through an income rider creating guaranteed lifetime income to help safeguard retirement lifestyles.

Since launching in 2020, Capital Income has played a key role in Midland National® Life Insurance Company’s committed growth strategy targeting the registered investment advisor (RIA) channel. The annuity’s performance as the top-selling indexed annuity in the RIA distribution last quarter is a testament to its relevance to advisors with clients seeking strong lifetime income.

If an advisor identifies a need for their client but does not have an insurance license, Capital Income is available through outsourced insurance desks that can act as agents of record enabling the advisor to maintain discretionary authority over the client’s account.
