Can You Keep All the AG49-A Changes Straight?

November 9, 2020 | by | Comments Off on Can You Keep All the AG49-A Changes Straight?

The problem is: clients didn’t understand what they were buying and there’s a good chance many of these policies won’t live up to their illustrated performance. And, these complex features also came with increased charges. So, if these products aren’t client-friendly, why are they still being sold? Simple. Because

It also includes a case study that examines the impact a life insurance policy with a long-term care rider can have on a client’s estate using two contrasting scenarios. For even more information
