Path Protector® Whole Life (Policy Form 617) is a
participating whole life plan that provides long-term protection, with the premiums, death benefit and cash values guaranteed for the life of the policy.
With Illinois Mutual’s middle market focus, Path Protector® Whole Life is designed with five
different payment options, term insurance riders, and a variety of traditional riders. This policy can be strategically utilized for multiple protection needs based on your client’s life stage and planning objectives.
Target Markets: Where Participating
Whole Life Works!
• Young Adults: Individuals entering the workforce need portable life insurance protection. For those young adults who may have limited income and student loans, a blended policy approach may be best. By combining a smaller face whole life policy with Illinois Mutual term life riders, you can structure a plan that provides adequate coverage. As their careers take off and student loans are decreased, these young adults can convert their term riders to Illinois Mutual whole life coverage without evidence of insurability.
• Families: Families need multiple coverage
amounts all wrapped under one permanent policy. Permanent insurance combined with multiple term riders can provide the right amount of protection at the right time for each respective family member.
• Baby Boomers/Mature Consumers: Tremendous selling opportunities exist with diverse planning objectives by utilizing limited pay plans to help pay for final expenses, estate taxes, legacy objectives and other end of life expenses.
• Business Owners: Participating whole life can provide protection needed for various business needs. Life insurance often is used to protect the business in the event of the death of a key person, an owner, or partner. It is a solid asset to help assure continuance of the business.

Points
• Premiums are guaranteed to never increase
• Cash value is guaranteed to grow each year to age 121
• The death benefit is guaranteed to never decrease
• Dividends, though not guaranteed, can provide additional value based on performance of the company1
• Customized protection and the ability to combine base coverage with competitive term riders
• Five different payment options to match your client’s budget and planning objectives
• PUA and PUI riders that can accelerate cash value and death benefit growth3
ABOUT POLICY LOANS
Policy loans up to the sum of the cash value (policy and any paid-up additions) and any dividend accumulations, less any outstanding prior unpaid loans and interest, are allowed. Generally there is insufficient loan value during the early policy years unless there is a 1035 exchange with sufficient transfer of funds. Loans reduce the policy’s death benefit and are repaid with interest, which accrues at 7.25% per year and is payable in advance. Any unpaid interest is added to the outstanding loan balance and bears interest on the same terms as the loan.
If the policy is a modified endowment contract (MEC), then the loan proceeds may be immediately taxable and subject to a 10% penalty tax if the policyowner is not 59-1/2 or disabled. (See MEC sidebar on page 9.)
This notice is a general explanation of policy loans and is not intended to cover all situations. The terms of the policy will control. Illinois Mutual and its agents do not provide tax advice.
We always recommend that policyowners consult an accountant or attorney regarding their specific situation.
Selling Opportunities with
Path Protector
®
Whole Life
The following sales scenarios are provided forillustration purposes only. They are intended to provide a snapshot of the many ways to utilize
Path Protector® Whole Life with your clients right now!
Blended Policy Solution: Your analysis reveals your client needs $500,000 of life insurance but has a limited budget. After you explain the features and benefits of participating whole life, your client realizes the importance of establishing a permanent insurance plan with guaranteed cash value. You create a solution that offers $100,000 of base whole life and $400,000 of 20-year term life that is fully convertible during the entire term period. Your client now has a plan that meets his protection needs while establishing a lifetime asset.
• Male; age 32; preferred non-tobacco; $500,000 of coverage
($100,000 whole life + $400,000 20-year Term Rider)
• $121.97 a month (Continuous pay plan)
Family Plan Solution: The entire family can be insured with the life insurance coverage needed for a monthly premium of $88.83 (Continuous pay plan):
• Father, age 32, non-tobacco user, $50,000 base with $200,000 20-year Term Rider
• Mother, age 31, non-tobacco user,
$100,000 20-year Other Insured Term Rider
• Two children, ages 10 and 12, $10,000 Child Rider
The 20-Pay Solution: Illustrate the efficiency and financial value of the 20-pay plan when compared to the Continuous pay plan. This client needs $20,000 of permanent life insurance and is counting on paying premiums for life until she sees the 20-pay solution:
• Female, age 60, non-tobacco user, $20,000 death benefit
Limited Pay Plan: The client wants to purchase permanent life insurance for long-term protection, but doesn’t want to pay premiums past retirement:
• Male, age 50, non-tobacco user,$50,000 death benefit, a 10-pay whole life plan costs $230.74 a month, and at age 60, the client never has to pay another premium!
Please note, some payment options, such as the single pay and 10-pay plan described here, may create a modified endowment contract (MEC). (See MEC sidebar on page 9.)
The Paid Up Insurance (PUI) Rider4 lets your clients
pay additional money into their policy to purchase paid up life insurance in addition to the coverage already in place under the base plan. These additional payments not only accelerate the policy’s total death benefit2, but
can also increase the policy’s cash value, which grows tax deferred.3
The paid up insurance purchased under the PUI rider is also eligible for dividends in addition to the dividends paid on your base policy.1 As the PUI policy dividends
and values accumulate in the policy, the tax-deferred growth can maximize the financial efficiencies and tax advantages of your client’s policy.
IRA-RMD Opportunity: This concept can be effective with clients who need to take a required minimum distribution (RMD) from their IRA but do not need the income.
After the client sets aside enough money to pay income taxes on the IRA distribution, he or she could use the remainder, either on its own or in combination with other savings not earmarked for retirement expenses, to fund a life insurance policy. The policy’s death benefit would be payable income tax-free to the insured’s beneficiaries.2
• Female, age 71, preferred non-tobacco
• $9,000 available from RMD after taxes are paid
• Purchase $120,000 of participating whole life insurance - 10-pay plan annual premium: $8,999.20 (RMD may decrease in subsequent years,
but premiums will remain level)
1 Dividends are not guaranteed and are payable at the discretion of Illinois Mutual, and the amount paid is subject to
the claims-paying ability and overall financial strength of the Company.
2 Life insurance benefits are generally includible in one’s estate and, as such, may be subject to estate taxes. An
accountant or attorney should be consulted regarding taxation (personal and estate) of benefits.
3 Illinois Mutual does not guarantee statements about taxation since federal and state tax laws are subject to change. 4 PUI Rider Specifics: Issue Ages 18-75. PUI Rider available on Continuous pay, To age 65 pay and 20-pay plans.
Maximum premium paying period is 15 years (not to exceed age 80). The PUI payment is fixed for the life of the policy and cannot be changed. Minimum PUI premium payment is $50 annually (monthly minimum = $4.17). Maximum payment is one times base premium; however, additional limitations may apply. Not available on rated cases.
Charitable Giving: Charitable giving can be a primary objective for those who wish to leave a legacy and pass on a portion of their assets to a favorite charity, church, or other non-profit organization. Personal life insurance is a planning tool that can be utilized to increase your client’s gift to a chosen organization.
• Male, age 55, non-tobacco
• Successful business owner wanting to implement planning decisions
• Wants to leave $250,000 to his college alma mater
• Path Protector® Whole Life 20-pay plan – annual
premium of $8,680
There can also be potential tax advantages. If the insurance policy is designated as an outright gift, with the charity as both owner and irrevocable beneficiary, your client may receive a current income tax deduction for the annual charitable gift that in turn funds the premium payments. If the policy will be turned over to the charity as a charitable bequest, so that your client retains the right to the policy’s cash values during his or her lifetime, your client does not receive a current income tax deduction, but it may reduce taxes on his or her estate.2 Please note, only donations made to
qualified charitable organizations are tax deductible. Your client should consult an accountant or attorney regarding the laws applicable to charitable giving and whether an organization qualifies for tax-exempt status.

The Financial Power of Single Pay Whole Life
Path Protector® Whole Life single pay option can
effectively fulfill many planning and protection objectives. One of the most popular concepts deals with legacy planning.
Legacy Planning: Help your clients increase the amount they leave to their heirs.
Carol, a 60-year-old female, non-tobacco user, wanted to maximize her assets and increase the amount she would leave to her four sons and their families. With a single payment of $100,000 into a Path Protector®
Whole Life plan, she purchased $195,720 of guaranteed death benefit. Immediately, she has nearly doubled the amount she will leave to her family! Single premium life insurance is usually a modified endowment contract. (See MEC sidebar on page 9.)
Create a Legacy with Grandparent Gift Giving:
Help your clients leave a legacy that goes beyond their lifetime.
Dale and Lois wanted to give their three grandchildren a meaningful gift that would be financially secure and would add true financial value to their future. They purchased three Path Protector® Whole Life single pay
plans with a contribution of $20,000 into each plan. The grandchildren now have an asset that can grow over time.*
*Gifts to grandchildren may be subject to gift and generation-skipping transfer taxes. Your clients should consult an accountant or attorney prior to making any such gifts.
A WORD ABOUT MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS (MEC)
Statements regarding tax-free loans and distributions apply to non-MEC policies. Loans and distributions from MECs are taxed on a last-in first-out (LIFO) basis; i.e., earnings are deemed distributed before premiums, and are subject to a 10% tax penalty if the policyowner is not 59-1/2, disabled or receiving payments in substantially equal installments over his/her life expectancy. Loans and distributions from non-MECs are not subject to the penalty tax and are generally tax-free since the proceeds are taxed on a first-in first-out (FIFO) basis (premiums deemed distributed before earnings).
Taxation of death benefits, however, is the same for MECs and non-MECs. With both, the beneficiary generally receives the death benefit tax-free while the estate may have some taxation. If policy loans or distributions are not anticipated, a MEC may offer more opportunity for increase in cash value
while still providing the tax advantages of the death proceeds. This is an important decision in choosing coverage since once a MEC, always a MEC. In
limited situations, MEC status may be removed if the policyowner requests and receives a refund of the excess premium within IRS time frames.
At Illinois Mutual, we are here to answer your
questions. The best practice, however, is to consult a tax advisor.
This notice is a general explanation of MECs and is not intended to cover all situations regarding MECs. In reading this notice, please be advised that neither Illinois Mutual nor its agents provide tax advice. We recommend consulting an accountant or attorney regarding each situation.
Guaranteed Cash Value
The cash value in the Path Protector® Whole Life is
contractually guaranteed to grow in your client’s policy every year until age 121 as long as it is kept in force.
Dividends
Path Protector® Whole Life is participating, which
means that Illinois Mutual pays dividends1 when
possible. Although not guaranteed, the dividends are typically paid each year beginning on the second policy anniversary and can be applied in several ways depending on your clients’ objectives. Clients can select the option that is right for them:
• Purchase additional paid-up insurance
• Offset their premium payments
• Allow the dividends to grow with interest
• Collect as cash income
If the policy is a modified endowment contract (MEC), using dividends to offset premium payments is the only option available to avoid taxation.
Surrenders
The plan may be partially or fully surrendered for its cash surrender value at any time, although money withdrawn from the plan may be subject to income tax.
Full Surrender: A plan can be fully surrendered for its guaranteed cash value, plus the value of any
Paid-up Additions (PUA) or accumulated dividends on deposit, less any outstanding debt.
Partial Surrender: A policy can be partially surrendered by surrendering Paid-up Additions. The death benefit supported by the Paid-up Additions (PUA) will be reduced accordingly. Each partial surrender must be at least $500.00.
