This reprice focused on improving rates for longer term durations and death benefit amounts $250k+ for certain issue ages and risk classes. The rate changes will include increases and decreases in certain cells.
Here’s how strong we are in the $500,000 and above market:
- Nationwide, nearly 70% of the premium rates rank in the top 2 and 85% rank in the top 3
