Starting August 28, 2017, Principal will be repricing its popular GUL products, which will be going up in price in many cells, especially above age 65 and short-pays. Other cells remain unchanged or will experience slight decrease in price. Contact your GBS Brokerage manager for more information.

We regularly review our products to ensure each continues to fit the needs of the market, offers value for you and your clients and aligns with our product strategy. Occasionally, we must adjust pricing to maintain a product's long-term sustainability.

Effective August 28, 2017, we will be updating Principal Universal Life Protector IV (UL Protector IV) pricing for new-issue policies. The price increases are modest at most ages, and funding levels and will help ensure the product remains strong for all policyholders during this prolonged period of low interest rates.
