At Nationwide, we are committed to carefully managing our life product portfolio in order to remain a strong, stable carrier you can rely on. Given this commitment –and the historically low interest rate environment – we are changing the pricing on our Nationwide YourLife® No–Lapse Guarantee UL (NLG–UL), effective November 7, 2016. Target premiums are not changing. Also, the Nationwide YourLife® No–Lapse Guarantee Survivorship UL II (NLG–SUL II) is not changing. For new business with a specified amount of $1 million (Lifetime NLG), you can expect the following rate changes, on average:
Level Pays:
- Ages 55-75: 0% – 10% increase (declining to 0% as the age nears 75)
- For example, a male, age 65, preferred NT only increases by 2%
- Younger than age 55: 10% or more increase
10 Pays:
- Ages 55-75: up to 5% increase
- Younger than age 55: up to 10% increase
Single Pays:
- 8-10% increase across all ages
* Actual rate changes will vary based on risk class, age, pay pattern, specified amount and other factors, and the percentage change may be more than the examples shown above. On November 4, 2016, our illustration software will update with the new rates – and will also require case designs to be illustrated with a minimum no-lapse guarantee duration of at least age 95.
