Manulife USA Enhances Term Life Insurance Products,
Offering Big Reductions at Big Face Amounts
Boston - Continuing to provide customers and producers with high-quality life insurance products, The Manufacturers Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.) (Manulife USA) has introduced enhancements to its term life product line. These enhancements—which include price reductions of up to 20% on Manulife’s most popular term products, Manulife 10 and Manulife 201 —complement Manulife USA’s large policy face amounts, skilled underwriting, and other value-added features to result in a term life insurance product line that is even more competitive in the marketplace.
With these enhancements, Manulife remains focused on offering competitively priced policies on large face amounts of over $1,000,000. Underwriting at this level is achieved through Manulife’s extensive experience in jumbo case management, in-depth expertise, and large automatic reinsurance pools. In addition, Manulife term products offer conversion options up to age 75, allowing policyholders to convert to any Manulife permanent product available in our broad, competitive portfolio of whole life, universal life, and variable universal life insurance, including survivorship policies2.
“With 100 years of experience as an insurance provider in the U.S., we have the knowledge and the financial strength to provide clients with the robust, but affordable, life insurance products they need,” said Robert A. Cook, President of U.S. Insurance, Manulife USA. “At Manulife, we continually evaluate our products from every angle, including underwriting, pricing, and flexibility. These enhancements to our term product line reflect this strategy, resulting in products that are among the most attractive and competitive in the market.”
