7 Industry The marketplace is huge American families have more than $19.3 trillion worth of life insurance protection through individual policies and group certificates. 146 million individual life insurance policies were in force at the end of Of the new individual policies issued in that year, 64 percent were permanent life insurance policies. Sixty-two percent of all people in the United States were covered by some type of life insurance in 2013, according to LIMRA s 2014 Insurance Barometer Study. Life insurance net premiums written for 2013 was $126.1 billion. 7

10 Term Insurance Annually Renewable This is a pure death benefit without cash value. The policy is renewable annually without proof of insurability. The premium increases each year with age based on underwriting classification. These policies normally have a right to convert to permanent life insurance without proof of insurability. Level Term The carrier guarantees a fixed term premium over a period of time in blocks of five years up to 30 years depending on the age of the insured. Since the premium is fixed, it is generally higher than an annual renewable term premium in the early years of the level term. These policies usually have a conversion to permanent life insurance feature without proof of insurability. Even if renewable at the end of the term, the premium for the renewed policy will be significantly higher. Group Term This employer provided insurance is available to a group of employees without proof of insurability. The first $50,000 of employer provided coverage is income tax free to the employee. Any excess coverage is generally taxed to the employee using the Table I rates in the regulations. 10
11 Permanent Life Insurance Policy Types Whole Life Current Assumption Universal Life (Traditional) Indexed Universal Life Variable Universal Life Guaranteed Universal Life Policies Payment Options Single Premium/Limited Pay Policies Pay for life 11
12 Whole Life Insurance Whole Life The premium is fixed for the life of the insured and the death benefit is guaranteed if the premiums are paid (either by the owner, policy dividends or cash value loans). A minimum cash value growth is also guaranteed. The cash value growth is low in the initial policy years in order for the carrier to recover its front-end expenses in case the policy owner surrenders the policy or lets it lapse. Thus the carrier assumes the mortality, investment return (for the guaranteed cash value), expense and lapse risks of the policy. As a result, in setting the premium, the carrier makes very conservative estimates in determining the risks. If the policy performance exceeds the conservative estimates, the cash values may exceed the guarantee and mutual carriers may pay dividends and the stock carriers may credit for larger policies, additional interest to the policy account values. Dividends and interest sensitive payments are not guaranteed. Death benefit is normally fixed at the date of policy purchase. However, the death benefit may increase without proof of insurability through purchase of paid up additions with policy dividends or the exercise of a guaranteed purchase option rider added to the contract. 12
13 Current Assumption UL Current Assumption Universal Life (Traditional) It is a general account subject to carrier creditors. These are called flexible premium policies. The owner may pay any amount of premium, may change the amount paid or even skip premium payments for some years. The owner normally sets a target premium payment designed to keep the policy in force during the insured's lifetime but it can be changed. The death benefit is adjustable within limits. The annual premium payment is placed into the policy cash value account with the annual expenses, premium taxes and mortality charges being deducted. The carrier will credit current interest to the cash value annually: universal life policies generally do not pay dividends since the cash value reflects all charges, expenses, premium payments and interest credits. The carrier will guarantee the death benefits only as long as the cash value is able to pay the mortality and other charges and policy expenses. The cash value is not guaranteed but the carrier normally guarantees a minimum interest credit to the cash value. There are several types of death benefit options for universal life policies. (i) Option A-level death benefit regardless of size of cash value or premium payment. However, the death benefit can be increased in order to meet the definition of life insurance contract under IRC Section (ii) Option B-the death benefit is the initial death benefit plus the cash value. Since the pure death benefit remains fixed, the mortality charge will increase as the insured ages. (iii) Option C-the death benefit is the initial death benefit plus the aggregate amount of premiums paid on the policy. 13
14 Indexed Universal Life Indexed Universal Life These are the same as traditional universal life policies except that all or part of the cash value may be invested in indexed equity funds (DOW, S&P, NASDAQ) subject to a floor on losses, a ceiling on gains and participation rate equal to a percent of growth rate. Indexed policies are between traditional and variable policies since they have some investment exposure. There is no minimum guaranteed interest credit. 14
15 Variable Universal Life Policy Types Variable Universal Life These are traditional universal life policies but the owner is able to invest the cash value in investment funds made available by the carrier including bonds, equities, money markets, etc. These are securities for SEC purposes. Any cash value invested in investment funds offered by the carrier are separate accounts from the general account of the carrier and therefore are protected from the carrier's creditors. Because of the insurance policy wrapper, any sales and reinvestments of the separate accounts are free from income tax at the time of the sale or reinvestment. To the extent invested in these separate accounts, there is no minimum guaranteed interest credit to the cash value by the carrier. Variable universal life has the potential advantage of a greater return on the investment but it is also potentially the most volatile of the cash value investments. All investment risk is shifted to the owner. Whole life variable policies are also available but they are not as popular as the more flexible variable universal life policies. A variable whole life has fixed premiums, guaranteed not to lapse (if premiums paid), but cash value and face amount may vary. 15
16 Guaranteed UL Guaranteed Universal Life These are universal life policies where the carrier guarantees the death benefit if the agreed annual premiums are timely paid. If the premium payments are not timely paid, the secondary guarantee of the death benefit is lost. There is no flexibility of premium payments. These policies are for owners who are more interested in the death benefit than the cash value build up. The premium is lower than for traditional universal life policies but there is little or no cash value available at surrender. There is no carrier guarantee of a minimum interest credit to the cash value. Some policies avoid loss of guarantee by catch-up premium payments or a positive shadow account. Loans or withdraws are either prohibited or limited because of small cash value. If the annual premium is timely paid, the carrier assumes all of the risks of mortality charges, expenses, and investment return. 16
