About Pacific Life Insurance Company
Founded in 1868, Pacific Life Insurance Company offers a comprehensive selection of life insurance products, financial products, and investment products to individuals and businesses across the U.S.
Compared to other national insurers, Pacific Life’s focus is on stakeholders (policyholders) rather than stockholders (Wall Street). As a member company to a large mutual holding company, the policyholders at Pacific Life share in company profits via annual dividends and are involved in the decision making process for the company’s operations.
The company’s conservative management and continuous ability to provide outstanding profit statements year after year have earned the company many industry accolades every year and the rating companies have consistently placed the company at or near the top for financial stability and financial outlook.
Pacific Life’s Financial Stability
After surviving the great depression of the 1930s, Pacific Life reorganized as a mutual company and never looked back. When insurance shoppers are searching for a company that offers affordable products, many consider Pacific Life because of the value they deliver and the financial stability they demonstrate by continually ranking very high with national rating services.

The ART life policy can be renewed to age 95 and can also be converted to a permanent policy offered by the company without regard to insurability.

In order to accommodate prospective clients with different needs, Pacific Life offers four types of Universal Life policies:

- Pacific Estate Preserver III – As its moniker suggests this UL policy was designed with estate planning and preservation in mind. The Pacific Estate Preserver III is an essential solution for help heirs deal with inheritance and estate taxes.
- Pacific Life Promise GUL – For individuals and families that want guaranteed insurance coverage for a lifetime without the steep premium of whole life insurance, the Promise GUL provides a no-lapse guaranteed death benefit for your surviving loved ones.
Indexed Universal Life
Indexed Universal Life insurance is gaining in popularity because of the constraints the government has placed on traditional retirement planning products and the probability of huge tax increases over the next two decades. Pacific Life offers four indexed universal life products to meet your financial goals and expectations:
- Pacific Discovery Protector IUL
- Pacific Discovery Xelerator IUL 2
- Pacific Indexed Accumulator 6
- Pacific Indexed Estate Preserver 3
Variable Indexed Universal Life
Pacific Life understands how important estate planning can be to partners and married couples who understand the risk of transferring large assets from owners to heirs. For this reason, the insurer offers the Pacific Select Survivorship VUL to mitigate the financial risk involved with transferring estates after the death of the second insured. Learn more about Pacific Select Survivorship VUL.
Whole Life Insurance
Pacific Life offers its FLEX 16 fixed premium, interest-sensitive Whole Life Insurance for family-owned and small businesses who prefer to offer a qualified retirement plan using life insurance. The FLEX 16 is also a great product for those consumers and small business owners to implement a “Be Your Own Banker” program. Learn more about the FLEX 16 Whole Life Insurance from Pacific Life Insurance Company.
I believe that when people shop for insurance (or anything else, for that matter) on the Internet, they are looking for a simple, non-intrusive, non-pressure method of doing so.
I strive to treat my prospective clients with the utmost respect and I believe an educated prospect can make the right decision without sales pressure.
Being independent, I represent many highly-rated insurance companies and, because I am not beholden to any one insurance company, my focus is to find the right company and policy for each individual client.
