Fund Information

Estate CompLifeŽ

Offered through The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company

Estate CompLife® is a competitive premium life insurance product made up of permanent and term insurance. It is designed to provide a secure death benefit while providing nominal cash value accumulation. Over the life of the policy, dividends purchase paid-up additions that replace the term insurance, if present.

This is an excellent option if you are looking for a comprehensive insurance policy with a competitive premium. Maximum protection is offered at the lowest possible cost by calculating the amount of premiums needed to produce a paid-up contract by age 100. As a result, any future dividend scale decreases could result in higher premiums or decrease the amount of coverage.

The death benefit provided by Estate CompLife® depends on the base amount of the policy, the amount of term insurance in the policy and any paid-up additions. Premiums are payable until age 100. Base amount premiums are guaranteed to remain level. Additional Protection premiums are determined each year. This policy pays annual dividends that are used to purchase paid-up additions until the term portion, if present, has been completely replaced.

Combination Life Insurance from Northwestern Mutual offers a flexible and affordable way to purchase permanent coverage.

Learn how Estate CompLife® can be used to accomplish estate planning goals.

Dividend Options(1)

To quickly convert term coverage to permanent coverage, dividends are used to purchase paid-up additions. When the term portion has been completely replaced, you can change the dividend option to reduce premium payments, accumulate at interest, or receive them in cash.

Policy Loans

You may borrow from the cash value of an Estate CompLife® policy. Loans may be taken at a market loan rate based on Moody's index for corporate bonds. (In Arkansas, policy loans have a fixed 8% interest rate and the amount borrowed affects the amount of dividends received.) Any unpaid loans, along with accumulated interest, will be deducted from the proceeds at death or if the policy is surrendered prior to death.

Premiums

Premiums are paid on the base portion of your policy until age 100 and are guaranteed to remain level. Premiums on the Additional Protection portion of your policy are also paid until age 100, but are determined every year.

Nonforfeiture Options

To protect yourself if you are ever unable to pay your policy premiums, you can choose one of our three nonforfeiture options.

  • Automatic Premium Loan—Money is automatically borrowed from the cash value to pay overdue premiums and interest is charged until the loan is repaid.
  • Paid-Up Insurance—Keeps some level of protection in force by using the policy's entire cash value to purchase paid-up whole life insurance. The face value of the paid-up insurance will be less than the face amount of the Estate CompLife® policy. The paid-up policy remains in force until the insured dies.
  • Cash Surrender—Receive the policy's cash value by surrendering the policy. Any outstanding loan balance and accrued loan interest will be deducted from the cash value.
