(1) “Segmented reserves” means reserves, calculated using segments produced
by the contract segmentation method, equal to the present value of all future
guaranteed benefits less the present value of all future net premiums to the
mandatory expiration of a policy, where the net premiums within each segment
are a uniform percentage of the respective guaranteed gross premiums within the
segment. The uniform percentage for each segment is such that, at the beginning
of the segment, the present value of the net premiums within the segment equals:
(a)
The present value of the death benefits within the segment, plus
(b)
The present value of any unusual guaranteed cash value (see Rule
19.06(D)) occurring at the end of the segment, less
(c)
Any unusual guaranteed cash value occurring at the start of the
segment, plus
(d)
For the first segment only, the excess of the Item (i) over Item
(ii), as follows:
(i)
A net level annual premium equal to the present value, at
the date of issue, of the benefits provided for in the first
segment after the first policy year, divided by the present
value, at the date of issue, of an annuity of one per year
payable on the first and each subsequent anniversary
within the first segment on which a premium falls due.
However, the net level annual premium shall not exceed
the net level annual premium on the nineteen-year
premium whole life plan of insurance of the same renewal
year equivalent level amount at an age one year higher
than the age at issue of the policy.
(ii)
A net one year term premium for the benefits provided for
in the first policy year.
(2)
The length of each segment is determined by the “contract segmentation
method,” as defined in this section.
(3)
The interest rates used in the present value calculations for any policy
may not exceed the maximum valuation interest rate, determined with a
guarantee duration equal to the sum of the lengths of all segments of the
policy.
(4)
For both basic reserves and deficiency reserves computed by the
segmented method, present values shall include future benefits and net
premiums in the current segment and in all subsequent segments.
I.
“Tabular cost of insurance” means the net single premium at the beginning of a
policy year for one-year term insurance in the amount of the guaranteed death
benefit in that policy year.
J.
“Ten-year select factors” means the select factors adopted with the 1980
amendments to the NAIC Standard Valuation Law.
K.
(1) “Unitary reserves” means the present value of all future guaranteed
benefits less the present value of all future modified net premiums, where:
(a)
Guaranteed benefits and modified net premiums are
considered to the mandatory expiration of the policy; and
(b)
Modified net premiums are a uniform percentage of the
respective guaranteed gross premiums, where the uniform
percentage is such that, at issue, the present value of the net
premiums equals the present value of all death benefits and pure
endowments, plus the excess of Item (i) over Item (ii), as follows:
(i)
A net level annual premium equal to the present value, at
the date of issue, of the benefits provided for after the first
policy year, divided by the present value, at the date of
issue, of an annuity of one per year payable on the first
and each subsequent anniversary of the policy on which a
premium falls due. However, the net level annual
premium shall not exceed the net level annual premium on
the nineteen-year premium whole life plan of insurance of
the same renewal year equivalent level amount at an age
one year higher than the age at issue of the policy.
(ii)
A net one year term premium for the benefits provided for
in the first policy year.
(2) The interest rates used in the present value calculations for any policy
may not exceed the maximum valuation interest rate, determined with a
guarantee duration equal to the length from issue to the mandatory
expiration of the policy.
L.
“Universal life insurance policy” means any individual life insurance policy
under the provisions of which separately identified interest credits (other than in
connection with dividend accumulations, premium deposit funds, or other
supplementary accounts) and mortality or expense charges are made to the
policy.
