Which insurance product is NOT considered interest-sensitive?

  1. Universal Life

  2. Modified Whole Life

  3. Interest-sensitive Whole Life

  4. Variable Universal Life

The correct answer is: Modified Whole Life

Modified Whole Life is not considered an interest-sensitive insurance product because its investment component is not directly linked to prevailing interest rates or market performance. Instead, this type of plan typically offers a fixed premium, a guaranteed death benefit, and benefits from cash value accumulation at a set interest rate determined by the insurer. Unlike interest-sensitive products, which adjust premiums and benefits based on interest rate fluctuations or market indices, Modified Whole Life maintains a more stable structure, providing predictability in both costs and returns for policyholders. In contrast, Universal Life, Interest-sensitive Whole Life, and Variable Universal Life are all designed to have flexible premiums and death benefits that can vary based on interest rates or investment performance, making them more dynamic in their response to market conditions. This distinction highlights how Modified Whole Life provides a more traditional approach to life insurance without the inherent risks and fluctuations associated with interest-sensitive products.
