Take Another Look at Whole Life

Posted by: Jeff Reed on 6/19/2012 | 0 Comments
Last week I talked about possible underperformance of Whole Life contracts. The one aspect of that discussion that was not really addressed was the role of guarantees, and how Whole Life can stack up against some of the more heavily promoted products such as Indexed Universal Life. Let's face it; if an IUL contract performs at the guaranteed minimum, the cash growth will be quite anemic and, depending on funding levels, can even lose money. That's right; lose money even with a guaranteed performance floor. It’s those pesky mortality and expense charges that crash the party.

Disappointing Dividends

Posted by: Jeff Reed on 6/12/2012 | 0 Comments
One of our carriers released a document recently that summarized the dividend scale actions taken by nine major insurance companies on their participating whole life contracts over the last 31 years. While there was not one carrier that stood out above the rest and warrants specific mention, the overall trend in the data was very compelling.
