Insuring International Clients 

Business, trade and even families are more international than ever. Three types of international risks are insurable: international travelers, foreign nationals living legally in the U.S., and foreign nationals who reside abroad. All present opportunities.

Foreign nationals tend to favor whole life for its cash value growth and as a currency hedge. MassMutual is clearly a leader in quality high cash value whole life, and is a name with international recognition. This is a major market for you to consider for high net worth foreign residents with commerce and family ties to the United States.

Consider the other categories as well-- U.S. citizens with international travel and, of course, foreign nationals as permanent residents in the U.S. MassMutual is a leader in all. 

Here are the newest versions of MassMutual's foreign national underwriting guidelines:

 

Offer your clients up to 4.80% Guaranteed for 6 Years 

Offer your clients up to 4.80% guaranteed for 6 years from Oceanview Life and Annuity with the Harbourview MGYA 6 (rates lower in California). The Harbourview MGYA offers 10% penalty-free withdrawals after the first year, has no penalties at death and is issued to age 89 will full commissions paid through age 79.

 

New Lower Rates for Classic Choice Term Effective September 12, 2022

Protective has introduced new rates for Classic Choice Term effective September 12, 2022. With these new lower prices, Protective's Classic Choice Term is in the top 3, 87% of the time (monthly pay scenarios). Protective is dedicated to offering one of the top term products in the market. Couple these new rates with the Protective Velocity suite of digital solutions and your qualifying clients will experience an expedited process that is second to none.
