Legal and Regulatory SummaryTwo issues define the validity of a Contract Holder’s tax benefits available through a Variable Contract: diversification and investor control. Diversification is formulaic and, for each Insurance Dedicated Account (IDA), the Technology ensures full compliance.

Investor control is always evaluated based on the relevant facts and circumstances. Here, the Technology creates repeatable, verifiable, and auditable facts and circumstances buttressed with documentary evidence proving the absence of investor control should the IRS pursue a challenge administratively or in Tax Court.

For investing premium, rebalancing the IDA's portfolio, and restructuring the IDA's portfolio, the Technology determines the percentage and dollar amount for each investment. Neither the Advisor nor the Contract Holder can adjust any investment allocation. The investment management agreement between the Insurance Company and the Advisor requires that the Advisor trade the portfolio as dictated by the Technology. The Technology compares the designed portfolio to the traded portfolio, and, if there is any deviation, the Advisor is required to correct the deviation or else the investment management agreement is breached.

This eliminates the possibility of "any arrangement, plan, contract, or agreement between the Contract Holder and the Advisor" that the IRS could pursue in an investor control challenge.
