Introduction to Post-Level Term 10-Year Term: Premium Structure with Jump to ART $7,395 Duration 11 Premium 20 times Premium Jump $375 Level Premium 3

The Sick… Who Pays the $7,395 Rather Than Dropping Coverage or Getting a New Policy? 4 The Lazy… The Unaware… …And ALL 3 have extra mortality risk!
5
Lapse Rate 2008 VBT Mortality Ratio Sharp increase in premium after level period leads to large anti-selective shock lapse. Mortality on persisting policyholders is substantially worse in the post-level period. 5

Grace period creates mismatch between exposure basis for claims and premiums No duration 11 premium received, but effective duration 10 exposure extends into grace period. Premium-paying persisters must subsidize “free insurance” during the grace period for policyholders who intended to lapse on their anniversary. Much bigger impact with shock lapse Small number of premium-payers…lots of lapsers Magnitude increases for higher lapse rates or longer grace periods Grace Period Subsidy 32
33
Assumptions: Cohort mortality = 0.1 / 1000 monthly in durations 10 & 11 Lapse on anniversary at end of duration 10 All lapsers will passively lapse and enter the grace period 2-month grace period Grace Period Subsidy - Example 33

“Jump to an ART Scale” continues to be the dominant post-level structure, although some are considering changes Wide range of lapes and mortality assumptions are currently being used in the post-level period Many companies have not implemented appropriate skewness assumptions for lapses based on past experience 2013 SOA Post-Level Term Survey Report Key Takeaways 68
69
Lapse rates beyond the level period are largely driven by the level of the premium compared to the original level premium Mortality in the post-level period is driven by the size of the shock lapse Lapses are skewed towards the end of the last duration of the level period and the beginning of the first duration after the level period Grace period can lead to excess mortality, especially at the higher shock lapse levels Advanced analytics, such as predictive modeling, can be critical in understanding the correlations of the many drivers of post-level term experience 2014 SOA Post-Level Term Experience Report Key Takeaways 69
