Connecticut General Statutes Title 38A. Insurance § 38a-460. Accumulation fund arrangements. Definition

(a) Any domestic life insurance company may provide accumulation fund arrangements in connection with the making of any life insurance contract or annuity contract, including any contract that makes life insurance or annuities available on an optional basis, and such company may insure the balance accumulated under such accumulation fund arrangements by promising a rate of return on such arrangements in fixed or variable amounts or in any combination of fixed and variable amounts. As used in this section and in section 38a-92a, “accumulation fund arrangement” means an arrangement under which amounts are allowed to accumulate at the rate or rates credited by a life insurance company and under which accumulated amounts may be applied in the future to the purchase of life insurance coverage or annuitized benefits or may be distributed through one or more cash payments.

(b) Under such accumulation fund arrangements, the company's obligations may be established by reference to (1) amounts deposited with the company and allocated to its general account or one or more of its separate accounts pursuant to section 38a-433, or (2) an asset portfolio that is not owned or possessed by the insurance company.
