WHY TRENDSETTER SM ROP30? You always want to protect your loved ones from financial hardship in case of life s misfortunes. Instead of life-long life insurance coverage, you may wish to protect your family from long-term commitment such as the mortgage, your children's education, or to safeguard the period you are accumulating your wealth. Also it would be ideal if you will receive some kind of return after paying the premiums throughout the term of your policy, because you are confident that you are going to outlive it. In that case, Trendsetter SM ROP 30 may be what you need. The policy offers a level premium payment term of 30 years, then premiums increase annually until age 95. The policy builds a cash value and if you outlive that level premium payment period, you'll get all the policy premiums* you've paid refunded at the end of the term if the policy is still in force. With fixed term coverage and certainty of premium refund* if the policy is still in force, you get the best of both worlds. What s more, Trendsetter SM ROP30 provides you the flexibility to borrow from your policy at times of financial need, or change it to a permanent policy if you should require lifelong protection later. * Includes eligible paid premiums only. Excludes substandard premiums, rider premiums, outstanding loans and any loan interest due. Return of premiums is not available if death occurs during level premium period.
