Ensure that your client’s life insurance needs continue to be met even if the rider pays out in full. There is no guarantee that the rider will cover the entire cost for all of the insured’s long-term care, as these vary with the needs of each insured.

As your personal situation changes (e.g., marriage, birth of a child or job promotion), so will your life insurance needs. Care should be taken to ensure this product is suitable for your long-term life insurance needs. You should weigh any associated costs before making a purchase. Life insurance has fees and charges associated with it that include costs of insurance that vary with such characteristics of the insured as sex, health and age, and has additional charges for riders that customize a policy to fit your individual needs.

Guarantees are subject to the claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company.

2 North American And Bermudan Insurers Continue To Step Up Their Enterprise Risk Management Efforts, RatingsDirect Report, Standard & Poor’s (5/3/11).

Nationwide® has been in business for over 80 years and our Midwestern roots and conservative heritage

have helped us to successfully navigate through a number of market and economic disruptions. Despite

ongoing market volatility, Nationwide remains a strong, stable and financially sound company that is

appropriately capitalized to serve the needs of our customers.

As a result of the uncertain economic environment, we know there is a lot of interest in assessing

the strength of life insurance companies’ capital positions and investment portfolios. At Nationwide,

we welcome that discussion because we know that the more scrutiny you put us under, the more

confidence you can have in us. The market may waver, but our long-term commitment to you and to our

policyholders will not.

You can continue to have confidence in nationwide. here’s whY.

Nationwide is one of the largest providers of financial services and property and casualty insurance

in the United States. We’re ranked No. 127 on the Fortune 5001 with 2010 revenues exceeding $20

billion. The wide range of our businesses and breadth of our distribution network help us to naturally

diversify and mitigate risk. The businesses we’re in — from annuities, life insurance and retirement plans

to banking, mutual funds and property and casualty insurance — provide us with numerous sources of

earnings and cash flows without being overly exposed to any single business or risk.

our capital adequacY demonstrates our resilience.

The life insurance companies within Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. (NFS) are highly regulated and

subject to strict capital requirements designed to help ensure that we are financially sound. As of March

31, 2012, Nationwide Financial’s statutory capital and surplus was $3.5 billion. Combined with our mutual

ownership, this allows us to invest for future growth while maintaining a strong capital position.

risk management is one of our core competencies.

Managing risk is a key competency for our business, and it’s something we’ve dedicated resources

toward for many years. In fact, our enterprise risk management capabilities have been rated as

“Strong” by third-party rating agency Standard & Poor’s — a rating only 14% of insurance companies

share with us.2

We also take pride in our in-house hedging program. Building this infrastructure was costly and, not

surprisingly, some of our competitors have chosen to outsource these functions. For Nationwide, having

this infrastructure internally allows us to finely tune our hedging strategies to specific policies and to

respond nimbly in volatile market conditions. This infrastructure is a competitive advantage and an

added protection for our policyholders.

關注人生壽險優勢說明

如果有人依賴您提供財務支援,那麼利用壽險為他們保障未來是很明智的做法。若您發生任何變

故,壽險能夠幫助您的家人:

> 替代您的收入

> 支付人生的最終開銷

> 支付教育費用

> 償還重大債務

以下是關於壽險,以及壽險如何能夠為您關愛的人提供財務保障的簡略說明。

壽險涵蓋的範圍有哪些?

簡而言之,壽險在您身故時為您的家人提供財務支援。壽險能夠用於替代您的收入,並支付葬儀費、未

償還的債務如抵押貸款,以及教育費等。

在大多數情況下,壽險保單的身故撫恤金不需繳納聯邦所得稅,因此您的家人領取保單的保險金時不必

支付所得稅。

收入替代

壽險保單提供一筆錢,您關愛的人可用來替代收入損失。您的保險專員能夠為您計算您的家人將需

要多少錢才能維持他們的生活水準。

人生的最終開銷

這些開銷中包括葬儀和埋葬費用,以及最終的法律及醫藥費用。傳統葬儀費可能超過10,000美元1。

抵押貸款和其他未償還債務

壽險也能為您關愛的人提供可還清抵押貸款、信用卡和汽車貸款等債務的金錢。

大學費用

在2008–2009年,大學學雜費和住宿費的一年平均費用為12,283美元(公立大學)和31,233美元(私

立大學)2。壽險能夠負擔這些費用。

EnfoquE En la vidaGuía para considerar un seguro de vida

Si tienes personas que dependen de ti económicamente, lo lógico es asegurar su bienestar con una póliza de seguro de vida. Si llegase a ocurrirte algo, el seguro de vida puede ayudar a tu familia:

> A reemplazar tus ingresos

> A pagar tus gastos finales

> A cubrir los costos de educación

> A liquidar las deudas principales

Analiza el seguro de vida y las maneras en que puede ofrecerte protección económica para tus seres queridos.

¿Qué cubre el seguro de vida?

El seguro de vida simplemente ofrece apoyo financiero a tu familia si tú mueres. Puede ayudar a reemplazar tus ingresos y cubrir gastos como costos del funeral, deudas pendientes (por ejemplo, una hipoteca) y costos de educación.

En la mayoría de los casos, el beneficio por muerte de una póliza de seguro de vida no está sujeto a impuesto sobre la renta federal, de manera que tu familia recibe los fondos de la póliza libres de impuesto sobre la renta.

Reemplazo de ingresos Una póliza de seguro de vida provee una fuente de dinero que tus seres queridos podrán usar para reemplazar la pérdida de ingresos. Tu especialista en seguros podrá ayudarte a calcular cuánto dinero necesitaría tu familia para mantener su calidad de vida.

Gastos finalesIncluyen gastos del funeral y del entierro, así como gastos legales y cuentas médicas finales. El costo de un funeral tradicional podría superar a $10,000.1

Hipoteca y otras deudas pendientesEl seguro de vida puede ofrecerles a tus seres queridos una forma de liquidar deudas como hipotecas, tarjetas de crédito y préstamos para automóviles.

Gastos de universidadEn 2008-2009, el costo promedio anual de la matrícula universitaria, cargos, habitación y alojamiento fue de $12,283 en una institución pública, y de $31,233 en una universidad privada.2 El seguro de vida puede ayudar a cubrir esos costos.

IMPORTANT: It is not necessary to mail the hard copy of the original, signed application. If you fax the signed application, please keep your original application for your records. Please do not mail in a copy of the application forms in addition to faxing. This generates two separate policy numbers for the same case, and can lead to duplicate process of the same case.

FOR INSURANCE PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY—NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION WITH THE PUBLIC

As your clients’ personal situations change (i.e., marriage, birth of a child or job promotion), so will their life insurance needs. Care should be taken to ensure these strategies and products are suitable for their long-term life insurance needs. Clients should weigh their objectives and time horizon as well as any associated costs before making a purchasing decision. Life insurance has fees and charges associated with it that include costs of insurance that vary with such characteristics of the insured as sex, health and age, underlying fund charges and expenses, and additional charges for riders that customize a policy to fit your clients’ individual needs.

Guarantees are subject to the claims-paying ability of Nationwide Insurance.

Please note, the Nationwide Clear Horizon® Fixed and Indexed Annuity does not directly participate in any stock or equity investments; that withdrawals or surrenders prior to the expiration of an index period will result in no index participation for such amounts and that failure to maintain the contract to maturity may result in no participation in the equity index. It’s also important to understand that actual returns may be less than the return of the linked index. And, possibly even negative if part, or all, of the contract is surrendered prior to the expiration of any applicable surrender period. Early withdrawals may be subject to surrender charges and, if taken prior to age 59 1/2, a 10% IRS penalty may apply in addition to ordinary income taxes. Early withdrawals will reduce the death benefit and cash surrender value.

The index account earns an annual credit equal to the performance of the S&P 500 Composite Stock Index (less any dividends and capital gains) — up to a maximum. So, if the S&P 500 Index goes down, your account value remains the same; if the index goes up, your contract can earn up to the maximum amount (known as a cap), which is declared annually. It is important to note that the maximum cap can change annually. The cap can increase or decrease, but for the first seven years it can’t fall below the minimum cap stated in the contract.
