Protective Life Insurance Company

Step Premium Strategy

Why pay more than necessary for life insurance coverage? With our Step Premium Strategy, your clients can lower their out-of-pocket premium costs in early years (generally when the savings are most appreciated) with the option to pay catch-up premiums in the future. Additionally, stepped premium designs allow clients to maximize Internal Rate of Return (IRR) on death benefit through life expectancy.

Possible Scenarios:

  • Current cash flow concerns, with ability to pay higher premiums in the future
  • Client who appreciates and understands leverage and the value of IRR
  • Trying to present a rated case in a favorable light
  • Standard/substandard client with a realistic life expectancy shorter than the typical age 121 guarantee illustrations commonly presented
  • In competition with a premium finance proposal
  • Trying to differentiate yourself from other agents

Solution/Highlights:

  • Provide your client with the option to PAY LESS UP FRONT (up to 45% less)
  • Maximize IRR through life expectancy
  • Why overpay for guarantees he/she won’t need?
  • Strong and simple alternative to premium finance
  • Great, too, when in competition
  • Protective Life BILLS AS ILLUSTRATED. This means Protective will bill your client according to the illustration submitted for policy issue. Protective keeps track of when the premium step-up occurs!
  • 2 year ROLLING TARGET ensures no money is left on the table
