INTEREST RATE IS 5%
Yes, we’ve done it again. On Jan. 1, we increased our
interest rate on certain funds being held for the benefit
of policyholders and beneficiaries to 5%. (Our second
increase in two years.)
Now we are paying 5% on accumulated dividends left on
deposit with the Company. And the interest payable on
policy proceeds left under guaranteed settlement options
and elective annuity contracts has been increased to 5%,
as well.
High returns in interest are nothing new to our policy
holders, of course. For years, we've paid the highest In
terest rate of any major U.S. ordinary life insurance
company. We guarantee 3%. but we've never paid less than
4*/«. And now we're paying a hefty 5 8 />l
