Types of Policies
A consumer compares traditional whole life with a current-assumption whole life contract. The insurer says premiums may later be reevaluated based on current mortality, expense, and investment experience, while minimum cash value and a nonfluctuating death benefit remain guaranteed. Which conclusion is best?
Answer and explanation
Answer: B. Current-assumption whole life is an interest-sensitive whole life form. The company may reevaluate premium assumptions based on current experience, but a minimum cash value is guaranteed and the death benefit does not fluctuate.Source: New York Department of Financial Services — Life Insurance Information for Consumers — Interest Sensitive Whole Life > Current Assumption Whole Life
