After a careful review and analysis of Value Whole Life, the decision has been made to discontinue the product at the end of the year. Given the current low interest rate environment, we would be required to make meaningful changes to the current pricing which would materially impact the product positioning within the whole life product suite.

Premium Deposit Account (PDA) ‐ Lifetime coverage with One‐time payment
Let us show you how a Premium Deposit Account can help put a lifetime of coverage in place with a one‐time lump sum that will earn a competitive interest rate.

The Premium Deposit Account (PDA) gives clients the opportunity to make a single deposit to pre‐pay up to fourteen annual premium payments for any newly issued Custom Whole Life policy without creating a Modified Endowment Contract (MEC). The money in the Account earns a competitive interest rate that’s locked‐in at the start of the agreement period. Each year, the policy’s annual premium is paid from the Account using the deposit and interest earned.

Effective October 1, 2020, the crediting rate for the Premium Deposit Account (PDA) is 2.25%. Rates are subject to change.
