摘要:
The invention provides systems, and methods of using the systems, for implementing a benefit product with a guaranteed minimum income. Payment into the benefit product secures the guaranteed minimum income for a payout phase following an accumulation phase of the benefit product. The system comprises an income recordkeeper interfacing with a plurality of savings recordkeepers. The income recordkeeper includes (1) an income recordkeeper interface portion that inputs attributes to the benefit product funded by payments from a plan associated with the benefit product; and (2) an income recordkeeper record keeping system that implements the benefit product. The income recordkeeper record keeping system: (a) monitors transactions to or from the benefit product; and (b) determines, based on the transactions, a guaranteed minimum income associated with participation in the benefit product, the guaranteed minimum income being an amount that may be paid from the benefit product beginning on a future start date.
