... is consistent with current NASD requirements regarding policy illustrations. The next graphic portrayal illustrates the same policy and premium flow, but with the constant average 12% gross replaced with actual "large cap" equity market monthly returns - from 1956 to 1998. These monthly returns are applied in the sequence in which they occurred to the 43-year period from policy issue to policy maturity. By the way, the index itself would result in a compounded average return of 11.9% for the 43 years in this example. The greatest concern over the hypothetical result is that it's inconsistent with current regulations regarding what may be shown to a client. So Registered Representatives are barred from calculating or demonstrating this possibility to their clients. At the same time, however, it's critical to understand that the negative effect suggested in ... variable policies. The NAIC has intended to reconcile differences between their Model Illustration Regulations and the regulations of the NASD, but to date the level of cooperation necessary to develop joint regulations hasn't occurred. Variable Life insurance illustrations enjoy a unique "franchise" from the NASD: only this type of registered product may be specifically illustrated for future value projections. Mutual funds, individual securities, and even variable annuity products are not covered by the exemption from rules prohibiting the projection of future values. Variable Life insurance policies may be illustrated at a rate not to exceed a gross average rate of 12%, and a 0% rate and a mid-point rate must also be shown. Of course, a variable Life insurance policy discussion can't take place without first providing a prospectus to the potential buyer of such ...

... — dare we say it — dull industry that began in the early 1700s. But by 1991, there was nothing dull about Life insurance! For all the pain, disappointment, and economic loss, policyholders were still covered by trillions of dollars of death benefits, and cash values totaled in the hundreds of billions. And new products were emerging: Universal Life, Current Assumption Whole Life, equity indexed products, and the current winner among consumers: Variable Universal Life. The next article will continue the saga of how the Life insurance industry has changed since the 1980s — and suggest some benefits and perils that our fast-paced and competitive global economy will probably experience. Richard M. Weber, MBA, CLU is president of The Ethical Edge, Inc., a consulting firm that advises Life insurance ... a brief presentation with convincing arguments as to why the company would remain healthy. There were several questions from the audience — mostly friendly — and the meeting adjourned in less than an hour. Barely seven months later, on April 13, 1991, the California Commissioner of Insurance seized the assets of Executive Life and forced the company into a seven-year rehabilitation that severely reduced benefits for millions of Life and annuity policyholders. Executive Life was the largest insurance company failure in U.S. history. Despite the financial harm to so many policyholders, many people in the Life insurance industry privately cheered the demise of the company that had caused them such distress. But when the New Jersey Commissioner of Insurance seized Mutual Benefit just three months later in July 1991, few were laughing. The collapse of Mutual Benefit, ...
