BOSTON, Feb. 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- John Hancock Insurance has launched Protection Indexed UL (IUL), which is designed to provide some of the most affordable indexed universal life premiums in the industry.
"While most Indexed UL products focus on cash value accumulation, John Hancock's new Protection IUL takes a different approach," said Michael Doughty, President and General Manager, John Hancock Insurance. "It combines the upside potential of Indexed UL with the benefit of some of the lowest premiums in the industry. The addition of Protection IUL provides more sales opportunities for advisors and more IUL choices for consumers."
Similar to its companion product, Accumulation IUL, Protection IUL offers highly competitive allocation options across the risk-reward spectrum. Whether clients are focused on accumulating cash values or more concerned about low-cost death benefit protection, John Hancock now has an Indexed UL product to meet their needs.
"John Hancock's newly expanded Indexed UL portfolio further demonstrates our commitment to delivering distinctive products that provide real value to the customer," said Mr. Doughty.
