Corebridge Financial
1.公司概况 / Company Overview
Corebridge Financial(由 AIG 退休业务拆分而成,NYSE: CRBG)是美国规模最大的退休解决方案供应商之一,产品涵盖固定指数年金(FIA)、固定年金(FA)、可变年金(VA)、指数型寿险(IUL)、以及 403(b)/457 等教育与政府计划,是许多顾问与退休家庭的长期合作对象。Corebridge 的设计风格介于传统寿险公司与资产管理风格之间,以定价竞争力、策略灵活度、以及长期稳定性著称。
Corebridge Financial (spun off from AIG’s retirement division and listed on NYSE: CRBG) is one of the largest retirement-solution providers in the U.S. Its offerings span FIAs, fixed annuities, variable annuities, IULs, and workplace savings plans (403(b)/457). Corebridge blends traditional life insurance stability with asset-management-driven strategy, offering competitive pricing, flexible crediting options, and strong long-term durability.
2. 公司结构(Ownership Structure)
Corebridge 的资产管理由 AIG 体系的机构投资团队与合作伙伴共同负责,核心构成包括高质量固定收益、结构化信贷、商业抵押债、私募信贷等,强调稳健性与可预测现金流。拆分独立上市后,Corebridge 拥有更灵活的资产负债管理能力(ALM)、更聚焦的退休市场战略与更快速的产品开发周期。
Corebridge leverages institutional investment capabilities historically tied to AIG, including high-quality fixed income, structured credit, CMBS, and private credit. As an independent public company, it benefits from stronger ALM control, a focused retirement strategy, and faster product-innovation cycles.

5. 产品线(Product Lines)
4. 指数型寿险 IUL:Value Protector IUL & Accumulator IUL
Corebridge 的 IUL 不是只给你一个“万能 IUL”,而是按用途分成两条主线:
• Value Protector IUL(偏保障型):
这类 IUL 更偏向“长期寿险保护 + 一定程度现金价值”,适合:
- 想要一张可以放到 70–80 岁甚至终身的保单;
- 想从 term 转向长期保障,但又不想走太激进的“贷款型 IUL”;
- 比较看重保额的稳定性、保费的可承受性。
在设计上,Value Protector 更像是“加强版的终身寿险 + 灵活现金价值”:
- 死亡给付效率较高;
- 现金价值增长不是“冲业绩型”,而是稳稳来;
- 很适合做“家庭安全网”、“遗产底线”这类用途。
• Accumulator IUL(偏累积/现金值型):
这条线是给“真心要用 IUL 做资产规划”的人用的,适合:
- 高收入家庭做税延累积 / 补充退休金;
- 计划未来用保单贷款做被动现金流;
- 想兼顾身故保障 + 长期现金价值增长。
Accumulator IUL 一般会:
- 允许更高比例的前期资金灌入(在 IRS 限制内最大化 funding);
- 设计的指数策略更偏向长期复利和稳健表现;
- 贷款条款相对友好,但不会鼓励极端杠杆。
这类 IUL 如果由专业人士用“合理 funding + 保守 loan 假设”搭配使用,很适合做:
- 退休后多一桶免税现金流;
- 未来给孩子一笔有弹性的家族资金。
5. Term 寿险(最长期可至 35 年)
Corebridge 的 term 产品一大特色是:
- 保障期间可以做到 35 年,比很多公司常见的 20/30 年更长;
- 对于三十多岁、想一口气 cover 到 60+ 岁退休、又暂时不想马上买大额 IUL 的客户,35 年 term 是非常实用的选项;
- 也常见的用法是:前期用大额 term 把家庭“底线风险”兜住,同时用较小额度的 IUL 提前开始资产累积,后续可以视收入与规划进展逐步从 term 过渡到更多永久寿险。
整体来看,Corebridge 的产品线可以覆盖:
- 退休现金流(FIA、收入型年金);
- 长期保障与传承(Value Protector IUL + 35 年 term);
- 累积与税务规划(Accumulator IUL);
适合用“组合搭配”的方式做完整资产与保障设计。
4. Index UL: Value Protector IUL & Accumulator IUL
Corebridge does not treat IUL as a one-size-fits-all tool; it offers two distinct tracks:
• Value Protector IUL (protection-oriented):
Designed for long-term death benefit with moderate cash value, suitable for:
- Clients who want coverage into their 70s, 80s, or for life;
- Those transitioning from term to permanent coverage without pursuing aggressive loan strategies;
- Families that care about stable coverage and manageable premiums.
Structurally, Value Protector behaves like a “modern lifetime protection chassis with flexible cash value”:
- Efficient death benefit;
- Steady, not hype-driven cash-value growth;
- Often used as a family safety net or estate baseline.
• Accumulator IUL (accumulation/cash-value-oriented):
Built for clients who truly plan to use IUL in their asset strategy, such as:
- High earners seeking tax-deferred accumulation and supplemental retirement income;
- Clients planning for future policy loans as a secondary cash-flow bucket;
- Those wanting both protection and long-term cash-value growth.
Accumulator IUL generally:
- Allows more flexible funding within IRS limits;
- Uses index strategies engineered for long-term compounding instead of short-term spikes;
- Offers loan features that support income planning without encouraging extreme leverage.
When designed with reasonable funding and conservative loan assumptions, Accumulator IUL can:
- Provide an additional stream of tax-advantaged cash flow in retirement;
- Function as a flexible family capital account for future opportunities.
5. Term life (level term up to 35 years)
Corebridge’s term life standout feature is:
- Level term periods available up to 35 years, longer than the typical 20/30-year options;
- Ideal for clients in their 30s who want coverage into their 60s without re-underwriting or immediate large permanent premiums;
- Commonly used with a “combo strategy”: large term coverage to secure core risks, plus a smaller IUL started early for accumulation, with room to transition from term to more permanent coverage over time.
Taken together, Corebridge’s product structure supports:
- Retirement income (FIA and income annuities);
- Long-term protection and legacy (Value Protector IUL + long-duration term);
- Cash-value growth and tax planning (Accumulator IUL);
and is well-suited to combination strategies rather than single-product solutions.
