June 2018 Carrier Updates

Last Updated: June 18

AIG

  • Foreign National Underwriting Checklist. We are excited to release the Foreign National Underwriting Checklist to help you assess and submit any cases involving foreign nationals for all residence categories. This checklist is designed to summarize the key items needed to meet underwriting guidelines, identify verification information to submit along with pertinent notes related to the guidelines. We hope this tool will help you submit In Good Order cases and speed your cases through the underwriting process.
  • Lower IUL Premiums Can Deliver Similar Guarantees to GUL and More Cash Value than GUL. With a Value+ Protector policy, you get an attractive death benefit guarantee and substantially more cash value for a lower premium. GUL offers many benefits including strong guarantees. However, it does have some limitations: limited liquidity or flexibility, limited (if any) cash accumulation, and designed primarily for death benefits. Value+ Protector IUL offers strong guaranteed death benefits like traditional GUL products while also providing flexibility and meaningful cash accumulation.
  • Startling insight on guarantees - click to download the PPT. Like GUL, Value+ Protector IUL guarantees coverage to a specified age, but unlike GUL it IS impacted by market performance – so just what does that really mean…? We crunched the numbers and the results were completely nuts!

John Hancock

  • Two Ways You Can Access Vitality on Term. Now there are two Term products that you can choose from to reduce your premiums and earn rewards for living healthy with the John Hancock Vitality Program — one offers the benefit as an optional rider, and the other has the Vitality benefit built into the policy. Option 1: Term & optional Vitality rider - competitive premiums that will only decrease when you engage in Vitality. Ideal if you want certainty that your premiums will never increase. The Vitality program is an optional rider, and can be dropped after issue. Option 2: Term with built-in Vitality - lowest initial premium with opportunity for additional savings when you engage in Vitality. Ideal if you want upfront premium savings. The Vitality program is automatically included and cannot be removed from the policy. For more information, click the link above.
