VUL Advance 2 - How VUL Works,

Reminders and Tips

To review, the VUL is an investment-linked life insurance policy. It gives both protection and
a chance to grow money or savings over time. In essence, the VUL insurance policy
provides two primary benefits, namely, the death benefit and the living benefit. The VUL
has two designs, namely, the Regular Premium VUL, and the Single Premium VUL. 

In this module, these two designs will be discussed in detail.

Lesson 3 of 20

What is VUL?

Variable Unit-Linked (VUL) is an investment-

linked life insurance plan that provides

protection and the opportunity to grow

savings over time.
 The insurance protection in VUL, by default, is the death benefit coverage.
However, the insurance protection can be expanded to cover additional RISKS
such as accident, hospitalization and critical illness via the health and accident
riders. 

VUL is both protection (insurance) and accumulation (savings/fund value).

Lesson 4 of 20

How does the Regular Premium VUL Work?

The premium for VUL varies according to plan type or design. We have regular premium where the
payment is done yearly, semi-annually or quarterly (by interval). We also have one-time only
or single premium which is available in single premium VUL. If you have extra money and you plan to
pay more to generate more fund units, you can do excess premium (or top-ups).

Here is the Client's Guide to the Regular Premium VUL. Let's understand how premiums are allocated.
REGULAR PREMIUM VUL

In the Regular Premium VUL, upon paying the PREMIUM, the scheduled
PREMIUM CHARGE will be applied. The premium charge is used for the
administrative expenses and setting up of the policy or acquisition expenses
and it varies according to the type of product bought by the client.

Once the premium charge is applied and deducted from the premium, the
BALANCE AMOUNT will be allocated to the fund to buy units in your chosen
fund. The FUND UNITS are determined by dividing the amount allocated to the
fund by the applicable NAVPU (or Net Asset Value per Unit)

Once the FUND UNITS are created, the INSURANCE CHARGE will be applied
and will take care of the client's insurance protection. It is deducted monthly
from the Fund Value through cancellation of units. The Insurance Charge
varies by age, gender, smoking habits and risk class of the insured.
Another charge that is applied is the PERIODIC CHARGE which represents the
cost of maintaining and administering the policy. It is also deducted monthly
from the Fund Value through cancellation of units Periodic charge also varies
according to the type of product bought by the client.

Note that the Insurance Charge and Periodic Charges are deducted monthly
from the fund value regardless whether the client makes a payment or not,
while the premium charge is deducted from the amount being paid, only
when there is a payment made, subject to the premium charge schedule of
the plan.

The REMAINING FUND UNITS are then multiplied by the applicable NAVPU to
determine your policy’s Fund Value at any given time.

Death Benefit and Living Benefit

The Death Benefit and Living Benefit will be discussed in detail.

Regular Premium VUL: Death Benefit

Complete the content above before moving on.


 For Regular Premium VUL (Limited-Pay) , the death benefit is the higher of the
two.

Letter (B) above or the minimum death benefit is mandated by the Insurance
Commission and it aims to protect the cash layout of the client. 

If we breakdown the components of Letter (B), we have the following:

    - 500% of regular premium: this is fixed and known at the onset of the
policy. For the mentioned products, 500% of the regular premium is usually
higher than 200% of face amount except for some cases such as when the
insured is substandard and has a high mortality rating or when there is a rider
with high premiums attached to the policy. Remember that extra premium and
rider premiums are components of the regular premium. Thus, if the client is
standard and no rider is attached to the policy, 500% of the regular premium is
lower than 200% of the face amount.

    - 125% of excess premium: this is variable and depends on the actual


behavior of the client
    - 125% of partial withdrawal: this is also variable and depends on the actual
behavior of the client

Some possible scenarios when (B) could be higher than (A):

(1) Very high mortality rating since this leads to higher regular premium which
is a factor in computing (B) and lowers the fund value, which is a component of
(A), because high mortality rating leads to higher cost of insurance being
deducted from the fund

(2) High Excess Premium payment but very low fund value despite having no
withdrawal which may be due to market downturn 

(3)  Rider with expensive premium (probably because rider is rated or because
of high rider face amount) attached to the policy

Basically, if the client is standard, no rider is attached to the policy and no


excess premium payment or withdrawal is made, 200% of the face amount plus
fund value is usually higher.

Regular Premium VUL Recap

Premium Charge: is imposed for the basic premium only excluding any extra premium.
It represents the cost associated with the policy’s sales transaction such as setting up of the policy,
including expenses incurred by the company.

Note: Charges may be changed by the Company subject to approval of the


Insurance Commission.

Monthly Periodic Charge: is imposed for the basic premium only. It represents the cost of
maintaining and administering the policy.
Note: Charges may be changed by the Company subject to approval of the
Insurance Commission.

Insurance Charge: is imposed monthly in respect of the basic benefit to cover the mortality cost. This
serves as a payment for the insurance protection the plan provides.

It is deducted monthly from the Fund Value through cancellation of units. The Insurance Charge
varies by age, gender, smoking habits and risk class of the insured. 

Rider Premiums are also included in the Insurance Charge.

For the Net Amount at Risk, let’s recall the discussion of death
benefit earlier. In this example, 
we first need to evaluate the death benefit payable. In the first
computation (Letter a), the first formula is 200% of the Face
Amount plus the Fund Value which gives us a total of Ps.
1,712,611 death benefit. In the second computation (Letter b),
the minimum death benefit is computed 
as follows: 500% of the Regular Premium plus 125% of all Excess
Premium, if any less 125% 
of Each Partial Withdrawal, if any. Adding everything, we will
arrive at Ps. 113,950. 
Comparing these 2 computations, the death benefit will be the
higher of the two.
 
Second, we need to evaluate the net amount at risk. 200% of
the Face Amount plus the Fund Value less Fund value. Ps.
1,000,000 plus Ps. 712,611 less Ps. 712,611 pesos gives us a
total 
of 1,000,000 which is the applicable NAR to compute COI.
In this example, we first need to evaluate the death benefit
payable. In the first computation (Letter a), the first formula is
200% Face Amount plus the Fund Value which gives us a total 
of Ps. 1,700,000 death benefit. In the second computation (Letter
b), the minimum death benefit is computed as follows: 500% of
the Regular Premium plus 125% of all Excess Premium, if any
less 125% of Each Partial Withdrawal, if any. Adding everything,
we will arrive at Ps. 1,988,950. Comparing these 2 computations,
the death benefit will be the higher of the two.

Second, we need to evaluate the net amount at risk. The


formula is 500% of the Annual Regular Premium plus 125% of all
Excess Premium less 125% of Each Partial Withdrawal less Fund
Value. Adding everything we will arrive at Ps. 1,288,950 which is
the applicable NAR to compute COI.

How does the Single Premium VUL Work?

Aside from the Regular Premium VUL that was discussed, there is also the Single Premium VUL. 

If the client has extra money, and he or she plans to pay more to generate more fund units, then he
or she can do excess premium or top ups.

Here is the Client's Guide to the Single Premium VUL. This also discusses how premiums are
allocated.
SINGLE PREMIUM VUL

In the Single Premium VUL, upon paying the PREMIUM, the scheduled
PREMIUM CHARGE will be applied. The premium charge is used for the
administrative expenses, setting up of the policy or acquisition expenses and it
varies according to the type of product bought by the client.

Once the premium charge is applied and deducted from the premium, the
BALANCE AMOUNT will be allocated to the fund to buy units in the chosen
fund. The FUND UNITS are determined by dividing the amount allocated to the
fund by the applicable NAVPU (or Net Asset Value per Unit)

Once the FUND UNITS are created, the INSURANCE CHARGE will be applied
and  will take care of the client's insurance protection. It is deducted monthly
from the Fund Value through cancellation of units. The Insurance Charge
varies by age, gender, smoking habits and risk class of the insured.

Note that the Insurance Charge is deducted monthly from the fund value
regardless whether the client makes a payment or not, while the premium
charge is deducted from the amount being paid, only when there is a payment
made, subject to the premium charge schedule of the plan.

The REMAINING FUND UNITS are then multiplied by the applicable NAVPU to
determine the client's policy’s Fund Value at any given time.

In this example, we first need to evaluate the death benefit
payable. In the first computation (Letter A), the first formula is
the Face Amount plus Single Premium less 125% of Each Partial
Withdrawal which gives us a total of Ps. 1,250,000 death benefit.
In the second computation (Letter B), the policy’s fund value is
equal to Ps. 1,120,181. Letter A is the death benefit since 
it is higher than B.

Second, we need to evaluate the net amount at risk. The


formula is Face Amount plus the single premium less 125% of
each Partial Withdrawal less Fund Value which gives us a total of 
Ps. 129,819 which is the applicable NAR to compute COI.
In this example we first need to evaluate the death benefit
payable. In the first computation (Letter A), the first formula is
the Face Amount plus Single Premium less 125% of Each Partial
Withdrawal which gives us a total of 1,250,000 pesos death
benefit. In the second computation (Letter B), the policy’s fund
value is equal to Ps. 1,255,888. Letter B is the death benefit
since 
it is higher than A.

Second, we need to evaluate the net amount at risk. The


formula is Fund Value less Fund Value which gives us a total of
zero pesos. Since NAR is zero, no COI is deducted from the fund
value.

Note that if the fund value declines and becomes lower than
Letter (A), in the death benefit computation, deduction of COI
resumes.

You may notice that due to the nature of the death benefit of
single premium products (higher 
of 125% of SP or Fund Value), the NAR of single premium is
more dependent on the fund value.

Reminders and Tips

Check each box to proceed.


Insurance companies deduct some industry standard fees from the premium and fund
value. Keep in mind that these fees vary per product.

When a client buys a life insurance policy, be sure to emphasize the policy standard fees
and discuss how premiums are allocated.

There is no premium charge for riders and extra premiums. These go directly to the
fund.

There is no monthly periodic charge for riders, excess premiums & extra premiums
including the Single Premium VUL.

The Cost of Insurance (COI) increases based on the Insured’s attained age every year. COI
continues up to the maturity of the plan.

Managing our Clients' Concerns


After sales concerns are often one of the challenges in any industry offering products and services. In
the financial insurance industry, a service or product sold is not considered the end once the client
has purchased it, in fact, it would only be the beginning of a long-term partnership between the
client and the advisor.

This lesson will help you become familiar with some of the most common post-purchase concerns of
our clients upon purchasing our VUL products and on how you can deal with these effectively.

Aside from the Regular Premium VUL that was discussed, there is also the Single Premium VUL.

can do excess premium or top ups.
