If, on the other hand, we used the month-to-month total returns of Ibbotson Large Cap Equities over the last 52 years to recalculate policy values (the same period as the policy duration in the future), Chart 2 demonstrates a different result. Remember the notion of unintended consequences? 25% to 40% of VUL policies could wind up looking like this. Are you concerned that using historic returns is inappropriate to the projection of current values? Let's apply a Monte Carlo Simulation to 1,000 separate illustration calculations, each of which use randomized returns of the underlying 624 historic monthly returns in this particular case. If we use an asset allocation of 100% Large Cap stocks, the probability of success is 60% and the probability of failure is 40% . Is that a ... guaranteed, had a long history of steady increases. In both instances, if you paid the premium, you got the benefit. When Universal Life, Current Assumption Whole Life, and Variable Universal Life became readily available in the early 1980s, everything we thought we knew about Life insurance went out the proverbial window.
