E-Newsletter - June, 2015
What's new?
Met Life has gotten some attention with their launch of Premier Accumulator Universal Life (PAUL) product June 1.  With a unique spread commission that would be familiar to Asset Managers, it can create very high early cash value with an IRR around 4% in the first couple years. It is Met's second product available for the Enhanced Rate Plus which gives clients the opportunity to boost their rating class from standard to preferred or elite in less than week - with no paramedical exams or lab work required.   Contact us for more details.  

 

Important Updates
P lease note, AdvisorNet Insurance will be closed for the day on Friday, June 19th
