National Life Group Unveils Custom Built Life Insurance Solution Focused on Accumulation

Montpelier, VT – National Life Group is offering PeakLife Indexed Universal Life Insurance to meet the sophisticated planning needs in the mass affluent and emerging affluent markets. The product is being offered through the group’s two insurance companies, National Life Insurance Co. and Life Insurance Company of the Southwest.

PeakLife helps individuals and business owners protect what matters most, while also helping address more complex planning needs.

“Instead of going to market with a Swiss army knife and cramming a lot of features into one product, we want to have products that are more focused on a specific market or client need and PeakLife is a prime example of this,” commented Achim Schwetlick, senior vice president and head of the business innovation group at National Life Group.

PeakLife is designed to provide a death benefit as well the potential for cash value accumulation through indexed linked interest crediting strategies. “PeakLife is custom built for the emerging affluent and high net worth markets. It’s ideal for individuals seeking a well-funded policy to leave a tax-free death benefit.* And, it also meets the needs of business owners looking to fund executive benefits to attract and retain key talent,” commented Stephanie Burmester, associate vice president and actuary at National Life Group.

In addition, PeakLife Indexed Universal Life Insurance offers their suite of living benefits provided by optional, no-additional premium accelerated benefit riders that allow customers to access all or part of the death benefit during their lifetime if they experience a qualifying terminal, chronic, critical illness or injury.
