Fund Information

Joint CompLifeŽ

Offered through The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company

Joint CompLife® can meet a wide range of needs. It can provide the capital to pay federal estate taxes and administrative costs that had been deferred until the second spouse's death—preserving the value of an estate. In business situations, Joint CompLife® can provide much-needed cash to keep the business going after the death of a second key person. And Joint CompLife® can help assure that children receive the care they need after the second parent passes away.

The four CompLife® components are combined so that your policy provides the death benefit you specify within your premium constraints. The death benefit provided by Joint CompLife® is a combination of the base amount of the policy, the amount of Additional Protection in the policy and any outside paid-up additions. Premiums are paid until the second death or until age 100 of the younger insured. This policy pays annual dividends that are used to purchase paid-up additions until the term portion, if present, has been completely replaced.

Joint CompLife® from Northwestern Mutual offers an affordable way to purchase significant permanent second-to-die coverage.

Learn how Joint 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 of the Additional Protection has been completely replaced, dividends can be used to reduce premium payments, accumulate at interest, or received in cash.

Policy loans

You may borrow from the cash value of a Joint 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 the second death or until age 100 of the younger insured and are guaranteed to remain level. Premiums on the Additional Protection portion of your policy are also payable to age 100 of the younger insured 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. If this option is not elected, or if the cash value will not cover the premium amount, the nonforfeiture option will default to Paid-Up Insurance.
  • 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 Joint CompLife® policy. The paid-up policy remains in force until the second 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.
