Increasing Premium Term Life Insurance

Increasing Premium Term (IPT) offers temporary life insurance protection at an affordable initial premium. IPT is guaranteed renewable through the contract expiry age and includes a conversion privilege that is available until age 70. The coverage it provides could help families and business owners safeguard their financial futures.
  • Pure life insurance protection.
  • A death benefit that is, in most instances, free from federal income tax.
  • An initial premium that may be considerably lower than a comparable permanent plan.
  • Guaranteed renewable coverage through the contract's expiry date (see "Product Specifics" for variations).
  • The privilege to convert to a permanent policy that builds cash value (see "Conversion Privilege").
  • A Conversion Credit that's applied to the new policy's first-year premium.
  • The financial strength of New York Life.

The Uses of IPT
There are many situations where IPT may be appropriate. Here are just a few examples:

  • Temporary Need for Protection
    When coverage is needed for a relatively short period of time, IPT can be ideal. A common use is when a mortgage or student loan is taken.
  • Limited Funds
    In situations where life insurance is essential but dollars are scarce, IPT could serve as a stop-gap. Young people starting their careers can choose IPT, then convert to a permanent plan as their finances improve.
  • Supplemental Insurance
    IPT can be added as a rider to some permanent plans to help boost the death benefit. It's an affordable way to increase total insurance coverage.
  • Family Coverage
    Optional riders such as Spouse and Children's Insurance, and Children's Insurance can be added to the policy to extend coverage to family members. (See "Riders" for more information.)
  • Protection for Business Owners
    IPT can be used as a hedge to cover outstanding loans, thus shielding partners or shareholders from financial hardship.
