Pacific Life Insurance – Company Review

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.

Their current financial ratings for 2019 are:

• Pay off the home mortgage and other personal debts
• Pay final expenses such as funeral and burial costs
• Cover tuition for the education of your children

Promise Term life insurance is available in policy terms of 10, 15, 20, 25, or 30-years with a minimum death benefit of $50,000 and the option to convert your term policy to a permanent one without regard to insurability.

• 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.
