Inforce SuperNOVA

The Illustration Development Team is excited to announce that the SuperNOVA is now available to be inforce illustrated!

You'll find an updated look with new features to immediately generate inforce SuperNOVA illustrations.

Features include:

• The ability to make immediate and future changes for:
• Premium
• Specified Amount
• Death Benefit Option
• A new Loan Payback Section with a repayment calculator.
• The ability to illustrate all riders and edit rider amounts.

To run a SuperNOVA inforce illustration hover over 'Illustrate' in the menu bar and select 'Inforce Illustration'.

On the inforce search screen enter the SuperNOVA policy number and click on 'Search'.  If you are the assigned agent for the policy, the policy has been in force for at least a year, and the policy is at or above the minimum specified amount the policy will be pulled up.

This will take you to an updated look of the summary screen where you can view the basic information of the policy.

Click on 'View Illustration' in the upper right hand corner to go to the input screen.  From here you can run a current inforce illustration or make hypothetical changes to the policy.

There are also informational messages that will appear when a hypothetical change is made to help you understand how the change will affect the policy. Informational messages include error messages when an invalid entry is made to inform you about why you can't use the change you are trying to illustrate. This makes illustrating the SuperNOVA in the inforce system educational as well.

Please contact us if you have any questions about obtaining an inforce SuperNOVA illustration on iKCLife.

Have a Great Day,

Compass Elite IUL

Kansas City Life announces the new Compass Elite IUL     

 New accumulation-oriented IUL for clients who are looking for more growth potential.

Kansas City Life Insurance Company is proud to announce our newest product addition - the Compass Elite Indexed Universal Life (IUL). The Compass Elite will join the EquiFlex in our IUL product offerings.  

   

Similar to the EquiFlex IUL, the Compass Elite IUL is a flexible premium universal life product with an indexed feature. It is designed to meet clients' needs head on with income tax-free death benefit protection for beneficiaries, plus the opportunity to build cash value on a tax-deferred basis with a safeguard against market downturns.

The Compass Elite IUL brings a new market niche to the table with the ability to sell in the juvenile market for ages 0 to 14 at $50,000 minimum issue limits. This is an excellent vehicle for long-term buildup cash value while still providing death benefit protection.

Perhaps one of the best features of the Compass Elite IUL is the addition of a third Indexed Account Option; Indexed Account C. For a small charge, Indexed Account C provides a higher Annual Point-to-Point cap limit than Indexed Account A, thus potentially increasing the policy's cash value growth potential.

The Compass Elite IUL is available to illustrate on both the online new business illustration system and the desktop system.  Pull up the system you are using and select Compass Elite - IUL from the initial product drop down list.

Please contact us if you have any questions on the Compass Elite IUL or would like to walk through setting up a quote together.

IAO Calculator

Have you ever wanted to know what products are available based on the death benefit payout and client information?  If so, the brand new IAO Calculator wizard is for you!  Based on the IAO inputs and client information, available products will be shown and premium results can be returned.  This is also the first wizard that can be transferred into the Quick Quoter!

To take advantage of the new wizard you must first log in to iKCLife.  Once logged in, click on IAO Calculator in the Wizards dropdown menu.

 To begin, choose how the death benefit will be paid out and enter the client information.  Based on the IAO inputs and client information, invalid products will be grayed out.  Underneath each product we list if it's unavailable due to age, risk class, specified amount or state.  Select one of the available products and click Run Wizard.

Clicking Run Wizard will list out the Total Death Benefit Payout and a quick view of the premiums.  For term, return of premium and whole life products, the "Regular" and "PAC or Combined Billing" premium will be shown for all billing modes.  For universal life, the minimum and target premium will be listed for all billing modes.

If you are happy with the case setup on the IAO calculator but want to customize the case by adding riders or want to generate a full PDF, simply click the "Transfer to Quick Quoter" button which will input all of the information from the wizard to the Quick Quoter.
