  • Such a product could be quite competitive and popular with stock brokerage houses who are used to low comnission structures.
  • E. F. Hutton's Life of California subsidiary is offering "Total Life", a primitive version of such a product, today.
    • ...
    • I would not expect Hutton's "Total Life" to be nearly as serious a threat in this environment.

    • MR. RICHARD MURPHY - I will start off with the obvious question to Mr.
      Richards. I believe that there have been some private letter rulings
      requested by Life of California on several income tax issues and possibly
      a question on par or non-par with respect to your product. Can you tell
      us the status of those rulings? Have you had your conference, or are there
      any letters forthcoming?
    • MR. RICHARDS - We believe that is a foregone conclusion because we can
      demonstrate very easily a simple math_tical exercise that the cash values
      according to this plan, are the same retrospectively and prospectively as
      they are with any life insurance plan. We have requested a ruling to the
      effect that this is llfe insurance under Section i01.
      MR. HARRIS BAK - One thing that the Complete Life Product that Mr. Richards
      described has in common with Adjustable Life and Traditional Life insurance
      policies is that they are llfe insurance products. As life insurance they
      must have a policy loan provision. Currently, we have the maximum policy
      loan rate in all states at 8%, and we have prime rates at 20% interest.
      Particularly since we are isolating the investment element, how can we use
      this product to compete for the savings dollar when we can't pass on
      effectively more than 8% interest?

  • Ardian Gill:  I have a suggestion for Mr. Richards on his product and the scorekeeping of it. This comes from a paper by Mr. Maurice Levita, which is in the proceedings of the Conference of Actuaries.  --  [Bonk: Alan Richards, EF Hutton]
    • Maurice suggested some years ago that this type of product could be very simply administered by treating each premium as buying extended term insurance.
    • And each succeeding premium, if there is one, extends the term or if the face amount is increased, it might reduce the term or otherwise adjust it.
