Whole Life Flexibility And Case Design (Part 2 Of 3)
September 10, 2024 by Charlie Gipple
In part one of the series, and in last month’s edition, we discussed how it is perceived that whole life insurance is very rigid because the structure of the base policy “generally“ requires the premium be paid for the duration that the product was designed for. But then I countered that argument by discussing the various nonforfeiture provisions, the most popular one being “reduced paid-up insurance,” at least for the cash accumulation sales. For instance, one of my favorite products is a “Pay to age-75” product. However, I will often do a “seven pay“ design where at the end of that seventh year we do a “reduced paid up policy” where no other premium is required. You can also have dividends pay premiums if dividends are robust enough. So again, the thought that whole life requires premium to be paid is false.
