Milliman's first-ever Registered Index-Linked Annuity Experience Study shows behavior similarities with multi-year guaranteed annuity contract holders
SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Milliman, Inc., a premier global consulting and actuarial firm, today announced the results of its 2025 Registered Index-Linked Annuity (RILA) Industry Experience Study. "Our recent models indicate a durational surrender trend resembling multi-year growth annuities.' -- Ben Johnson, Milliman This comprehensive study is the first of its kind for RILA and includes notable post-surrender charge period exposure. The results demonstrate that industry surrender rates remain extremely low during the surrender charge period, but rise drastically when outside of that period, with the highest increase in surrender rates observed in large-value contracts. 'Companies have speculated whether the expected shock-lapse rate for RILA would align more closely with comparable VA or FIA products,' said Ben Johnson, Milliman actuarial data scientist, Life and Annuity Predictive Analytics. 'However, our recent models indicate a third possibility: a durational surrender trend resembling multi-year growth annuities.' This latest research analyzes RILA policyholder behavior, including influencing factors such as the change in interest rates since issue, length and magnitude of the contract, methods of distribution, and tax implications. Milliman's RILA study covers surrender behavior for contracts without a withdrawal benefit (GLWB) rider. Key Findings: Distribution channels: RILA contracts are predominantly distributed through independent broker-dealers. Contracts sold through banks tend to experience higher surrender rates during the immediate period post-surrender charge, whereas those sold through large, national brokerage firms exhibit lower surrender rates compared to independent broker-dealers. Surrender charge period: Surrenders during the surrender charge period are exceptionally low, demonstrating minimal sensitivity to fluctuating interest rates. Beyond the surrender charge period, however, we observed surrender rates increase for contracts that were in force during periods of rising interest rates (for instance, since early 2022, surrender rates have trended upward for in force contracts during the post-surrender charge period). Milliman's Registered Index-Linked Annuity Experience Study introduces an advanced behavioral model that is integrated into Milliman's Recon ® platform. This model, with a 100% actual-to-expected accuracy ratio, further empowers annuity writers to conduct their own experience studies, delve into industry data, and develop tailored models.

Luke Clanton (70) relishes star-studded grouping to start pro career
Luke Clanton felt completely normal Thursday as he prepared for his first competitive round as a PGA Tour member. He grabbed a bagel and coffee from Tim Horton's. He looked good as he worked through the bag on the range. He was calm as he shook Rory McIlroy's hand on the 10th hole while their tee time approached. And then ... he took the club back. 'I couldn't feel it,' he said. 'So it was a nice experience, for sure.' One of the Tour's ballyhooed new additions debuted on Thursday at the RBC Canadian Open, where Clanton struggled a bit with his driver but managed to eke out an even-par round of 70 to start his pro Tour career. 'It was a lot of fun,' he said. 'I hit it really well and putted it really good. Just a few tee shots here and there, but it was good.' The Tour threw Clanton right into a featured group to start, alongside Rory McIlroy and Ludvig Aberg. Aberg got the best of the grouping with a 68, while Clanton edged McIlroy by a shot. Clanton said he didn't sleep much in anticipation of the star-studded grouping – not so much from nerves, but excitement. He called McIlroy the 'Tiger Woods of my life,' since he's grown up watching him play. 'The first tee shot,' he said, 'I've never experienced anything like that. It was so cool to meet Rory and play with him and be out there with Ludvig as well, two great ball-strikers. It was really cool.' The trio will head out at 12:55 p.m. ET on Friday.
