Unexpected events make the case for added flexibility

Sometimes the unexpected happens and your clients need access to extra cash. With a Return of Premium endorsement, their guaranteed income protection doesn't have to begin and end with their death benefit. See below for some examples.
A man in a hospital bed is comforted by his wife, knowing that they have access to extra cash with a Return of Premium endorsement.
Unexpected medical event
Even with Medicare, not every medical issue or event is covered. When there's an emergency, extra cash to cover expenses can help mitigate the crisis.
A client reading about market fluctuations on her laptop considers how her Return of Premium may help hedge against volatility.
Volatile market conditions
The market is unpredictable. Clients living off the interest of their investments may face restricted cashflow when conditions fluctuate and need a way to help hedge against volatility.
A couple meets with a contractor to discuss home repairs, but know they can use their Return of Premium to offset costs.
Spike in housing costs
A broken furnace, an electrical problem or other home improvement issue can eat into a client's fixed income. Having additional cashflow can help weather the storm.
