  • Mr. Affleck states that using the term "permanent" is "deceptive" with regard to universal life insurance.
    • [Bonk: Mr. Affleck = Policyholder Expert Witness]
  • Universal life is considered "permanent insurance" in the industry.
    • For example, a governmental website for seniors, maintained by the Social Security Administration, has the following definition...
      • ..."Permanent Insurance -- including whole, ordinary, universal, adjustable and variable life -- is protection that can be kept in force for as long as you live."8

  • One of our problems is that we're not even sure, as a profession, what we mean by equity between persisting and terminating policyholders.
    • The Society has set up a task force, chaired by Donna Claire, to investigate this issue.
  • The Unruh Committee, I believe, in the 1970s came up with a definition of equity for nonforfeiture, that the terminating policyholder should not leave the persisting policyholders in a worse position.
    • Even that definition of equity perhaps is not necessarily the final word.
