NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Pacific Life is pleased to introduce a new, straightforward variable universal life (VUL) insurance product, designed for customers ages 30-55 who are comfortable pursuing cash value over the long term and have a tolerance for market-based risk.

Pacific Protector Plus VUL¹ offers tax-free² death benefit protection and cash value accumulation potential through a streamlined but diverse selection of variable investment options and interest crediting strategies.

“We’re so proud that Pacific Protector Plus VUL was chosen to be a part of the State Farm portfolio. This collaboration is a great fit for both of our companies because our values and customer focus are so closely aligned,” said Dawn Behnke, Executive Vice President, Consumer Markets, Pacific Life.

State Farm is committed to meeting customers’ needs with products and services to help customers manage the risks of everyday life and realize their dream. The design of Pacific Protector Plus VUL offers the opportunity for authorized State Farm agents to help customers make their own decisions about how to protect the ones they love while also pursuing their financial goals.

“Pairing two companies that collectively share 260 years of experience caring for customers is a winning combination,” said Sarah Mineau, Senior Vice President, Financial Services, State Farm. “Together, we have a unique opportunity to impact more people, offering them the protection they need, and empowering them to invest in their financial well-being.”

Pacific Protector Plus VUL takes VUL back to the basics, with these important features:

• Competitive performance for death benefit-focused designs
• Opportunity for cash value growth potential through a streamlined set of mutual-fund style variable investment options that help reduce complexities, yet provide a holistic mix of options to address a variety of goals and risk tolerances
• Choice of indexed³ and fixed options to help hedge against market volatility
• Choice of two optional living benefit riders⁴ in case of chronic or terminal illness⁵
• Short-term, no-lapse guarantee to provide lapse protection from [five to 15 years]—at no additional cost^4,6

Pacific Protector Plus VUL provides authorized State Farm agents with opportunities to help meet customer needs for legacy, income protection, and business planning, within one product. It also may be attractive for State Farm customers who have maxed out contribution limits or are no longer eligible for other financial vehicles, such as 401(k)s or Roth IRAs.

²For federal income tax purposes, life insurance death benefits generally pay income tax-free to beneficiaries pursuant to IRC Sec. 101(a)(1). In certain situations, however, life insurance death benefits may be partially or wholly taxable. Situations include, but are not limited to: the transfer of a life insurance policy for valuable consideration unless the transfer qualifies for an exception under IRC Sec. 101(a)(2)(i.e. the transfer-for-value rule); arrangements that lack an insurable interest based on state law; and an employer-owned policy unless the policy qualifies for an exception under IRC Sec. 101(j).
³The indexed account options do not directly participate in any stock or equity investments.
⁴Riders will likely incur additional charges and are subject to availability, restrictions, and limitations. When considering a rider, request a policy illustration from your financial professional to see the rider’s impact on your policy’s values.
⁵Premier Chronic Illness Rider (CHR) (Form series R22CHR, S21CHR, varies based on state of policy issue). [CHR is not approved or available in CA.] Premier Living Benefit Rider 2 (Form series R18ADB, S18ADB, varies based on state of policy issue).
⁶Short-Term No-Lapse Guarantee Rider (Form #R21SNL, varies based on state of policy issue). Eligibility and duration based on insured’s issue age. Paying only the Short-Term No-Lapse Premiums will guarantee the death benefit from [five to 15 years], but will not guarantee cash value accumulation. If you discontinue paying the Short-Term No-Lapse Premiums, the no-lapse feature will terminate before the guaranteed duration. If this occurs, additional premiums in an amount equal to the short-fall can be paid to bring the no-lapse feature back in-force. If policy loans or withdrawals are taken, additional premiums may be required to keep the no-lapse feature in force. Additional premiums may be required to continue the policy beyond the guaranteed duration.
