3 For Agent Use Only – Not For Use With The Public 3 Are We Selling the Right Products? 9.3 million Life Insurance policies were either lapsed or surrendered in 2008. This activity represents 7.2% of all life policies. 88% of all Universal Life and 83% of all term policies never pay a death claim. For seniors age 65+, only 25% of all UL policies are held long enough for a death benefit to be paid. $11.7 Billion of Death Benefits were sold to a third party investor as a life settlement for unwanted or unneeded life policies in 2008. The life expectancy of a 70-year-old male in good health is 18.5 years and 20.5 years for a healthy 70-year-old female. US population continues to age as individuals over age 65 will more than double and those 85 and over will more than triple by mid century. 1 out of 2 seniors will require some form of long term care in their lifetime. Asset portfolios and almost all asset classes have declined in value as a result of the current global recession. The value of your life insurance policy has not been impacted due to the product guaranteed components and strong state regulation. Many people tend to value “living benefits” over death benefits only
