Guaranteed Cash Values
∙ Your American Elite Whole Life policy accumulates cash values that are guaranteed and easily accessible. 3 That’s a reliable financial resource for emergencies or to supplement college tuition or retirement income savings programs — whatever the need and whenever it arises. Cash values grow tax-deferred. 2
∙ The policy loan rate is 8 percent. Loans may be repaid at any time. Any unpaid loans and accrued loan interest will be deducted from the amount paid at death or policy surrender.
Guaranteed Premiums, Flexible Payment Options
∙ Your premium is level and guaranteed for the life of your policy. Better still, you can choose a premium payment plan that best fits your needs and budget: monthly (automatic bank draft), quarterly, semiannually or annually.
Nonforfeiture Options
If you’re unable to pay your premium, American Elite Whole Life offers several options to keep you protected or to meet immediate cash needs.
∙ Automatic Premium Loan: You can automatically borrow against your policy’s cash value to pay your premiums if elected in your application or requested before the end of an unpaid premium grace period. Interest is charged until the loan is repaid.
∙ Extended Term Insurance: To maintain your protection, term insurance is purchased in an amount equal to your policy face amount, less any debt owed. The length of coverage depends on the amount of cash value available to pay the term insurance premium. This option is only available on policies issued on standard rated insureds.
∙ Reduced Paid-Up Insurance: Keeps you protected by using your policy’s cash value, less any outstanding loans and interest due, to purchase a reduced, paid-up amount of whole life coverage
∙ Cash Surrender: You may choose to surrender your policy at any time and receive the cash value, less any outstanding loans and interest due4
