  • With this product, the mechanic is "unbundled" and open.
  • But events that are now observable may be misinterpreted.

  • Finally, I just would like to make a small pitch for the "mystique" of whole life.
    • If we come up with a retrospective approach for nonforfeiture, then we are hastening the viewpoint that life insurance, no matter what kind is nothing more than term insurance plus a side fund.
  • I think the industry has some vested interest yet in keeping the impression that there is more to it than that.
    • It is not just term insurance plus a side fund.
  • If it is strictly term insurance plus a side fund, then we weaken our arguments for favorable tax and regulatory treatment.

    • In the traditional product no one can "see" the inner workings where mortality, interest, and expense are at work to produce the dividend scale.
      • As a result, the magnitude and incidence of dividends must be accepted by the buying public and the regulatory bodies.
      • And they are relying on the company to follow the contribution principle.
    • In fixed premium universal life the mechanic is open for inspection.
      • But events that are now observable may be misinterpreted.
