Dear Valued Insurance Professional:

When you think of leaders in the financial world, few can argue with the name PIMCO. PIMCO is home to the largest bond fund in America and is recognized as an industry-leading fixed-income manager. They also join us as part of the Allianz SE family in North America. Recently we have been exploring opportunities to leverage the strength and expertise of our sister companies here in the U.S.

That's why I'm excited to announce that there's a new choice for the course ahead.

Allianz and PIMCO have joined forces to bring a new, exclusive bond index allocation to Allianz Pro V1SM Annuity.

Now you can offer the PIMCO US Advantage Index in addition to the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. This means that clients have the choice to allocate to indexes created by two of the most recognized names in the bond industry. Plus, PIMCO US Advantage is an Allianz exclusive. This opportunity is not available on any other FIA in the industry.

I invite you to become familiar with this exclusive new index allocation by reviewing the attached support materials. And please contact your personal annuity consultant for any additional information.

Thank you for your business and your continued support.

Please note: Allianz Pro V1 premium does not qualify for Producer Perks.

FOR AGENT USE ONLY. Not for use in solicitation or advertising to the public.

Annuities are long-term products designed for retirement planning.
