We are saying cheers to a new year-and new Select-a-Term rates in New York. As of January 19, 2021, there will be premium rate changes which will consist of a mix of increases and decreases with some cells being left unchanged.
Here’s how strong we are in our target cells ($250,000 and up) in New York:
- About two-thirds of the premiums rank in the top 3; approaching half are in the top 2, and almost a quarter are ranked #1
We are even more competitive for larger face amounts ($500,000 and up):
- Around 70% are in the top 3; roughly half in the top 2; and almost a quarter rank number 1
With the new rates, there is a renewed emphasis on the 10-year duration at face amounts $250,000 and above:
- Over half are in the top 3, and over 35% are in the top 2
