Our industry continues to operate in a challenging and changing environment while being faced with an evolving regulatory landscape and recent interest rate declines to near historical lows. As part of our disciplined approach to financial and risk management and guided by our long-term objective of honoring our commitments to policyholders, Lincoln is prudently managing its business to ensure we are operating responsibly.
Continuing with this strategy, effective November 11, 2019, Lincoln is announcing pricing updates on Lincoln LifeGuarantee® UL (2019). Lincoln remains committed to the guaranteed Universal Life market, and these adjustments help ensure we sustain a robust market presence and endure as a trusted and reliable partner.

The following pricing updates apply:
- Premiums have increased 17% on average
- Target premiums have increased to be aligned with updated lifetime level premiums
