- Flexibility - you decide the amount of premium payments subject to minimums.
- Your premiums (after an expense charge) are added to your account value.
- Every month, the cost of insurance for the policy and any riders, and any monthly expense charge are deducted from your account value.
- Interest is credited to your account value; the current interest rate may change monthly, but will never be less than the guaranteed rate stated in the policy when you purchased it.
- The cash value grows tax-deferred. Cash values can be accessed during your lifetime.1
- No matter how large your death benefit, it passes to your beneficiaries generally income tax-free.
