Premiums, Costs, Values and Benefits – Actuarial

  • Universal life also allows for flexibility in policy benefits, not just premium payments.

2017 1115 – Letter – AAA to NAIC (LIBWG), American Academy of Actuaries – 2p

  • The complications begin with a very simple question:
    • What’s the premium for Universal Life?
      • It could be almost anything.
    • Then what’s the cash value?
      • That depends on the premium.
    • It is the relationship between the premium and cash value that determines the product characteristics of Universal Life.
