AIG
- Do your clients qualify for an upgrade?. Our expanded term conversion period and improved conversion credits make it a great time to consider converting term clients to permanent UL.
- Why let a term policy end when there is the option to extend?. Give clients the opportunity to convert their Select-a-Term policy into permanent life insurance without going through additional underwriting. Protection Extend IUL offers the benefits of traditional universal life, plus the potential for greater growth in policy value AND the ability to access funds while living.
- Introducing Protection Extend IUL: New Term Conversion Product. Effective December 9, 2019, Protection Extend Index Universal Life, issued by American General Life Insurance Company (AGL) will be available. Protection Extend IUL will replace AG Extend IUL, which will no longer be available after December 13, 2019. This new product, designed on the 2017 CSO Mortality Tables, provides clients with longer guarantees, new features and more index options. It is approved in all states except Vermont and New York.
